Intel Tech Provider Zone

The Challenge

The Channel Company created a website for Intel Solution Provider Partners to learn about Intel’s partner program and also to keep up to date with news in their industry. Because the website was made several years ago, Intel gave us feedback that the website was not up to Intel’s brand standards and the navigation was not user friendly.

The Solution

We decided to do a redesign of the site with the Intel brand book in mind.

I started the redesign by meeting with the editorial and sales team to talk about what was important to the users of the site in order to create a streamlined navigation and easy user experience. We came up with 3 main topics that Intel’s partners cared about. I then began to look deeply into the Intel website structure and brand guidelines. These two drawings came from this research.

User Flow

After creating a quick mockup for the team to approve, I translated it into a high fidelity design to be pitched to Intel.

Subpage

Because time was invested into brand research in the discovery phase of the design, it was approved with a few small asks from the client including changing the site name.

After approval, I began working with our internal development team on the site build. Because this site is editorial in nature, we created a custom template in Drupal to pull in all of the content. My collaboration contributions to the development team included building out the entire front-end of the site (HTML, CSS and Javascript). We utilized Git for all code commits.

As the site was being built, I performed cross-browser testing and reached out to team members for user testing.
