Internal Company Website
Design Overview
The site was designed to be a self-promotion for the small team inside the IT department of a large company. Our customers were the internal product teams that might need anything from an icon to complex visualization dashboards.
About This Project
I was given some basic requirements and 1 week to design the site. It wasn’t just a sign-up to “hire” a User Experience or Visual Designer, it was also to be a means for people to understand what the work we could do, an education of the value of User Experience Design and Data Visualization.

MY CONTRIBUTION
-
Created Layout for scrolling site
-
Wrote the first draft of the copy
-
Researched and gathered links
-
Built prototype site in MUSE
-
Researched, wrote, and designed layouts for “Tip Sheets”
I designed the site to entice the user to scroll through the whole site. The “meat” was in the bounty of links in the RESOURCES section. They could spend as little or as much time there as desired.
HOME Simple introduction to what we offer.
PROCESS Summary of steps to our process with a link to a more detailed “Tip Sheet”.
RESOURCES Links to some wonderful overviews of Color, Layout, Accessibility, Design examples, and additional educational pdf “Tip Sheets”

I used more vibrant colors from the broader company palette to contrast the alert/warning colors that were so much a part of the admin palette.

The site was well received by management as well as our direct customers. They appreciated the option of learning more about design and being able to have more collaboration with our team rather than just ordering icons.
