THE PORTAL ORIGINAL
HOSTING’S customers weren’t using the HOSTING portal to manage their virtual servers.
Why not?
a mess of links, tables, words, and numbers
buried links in an organizational maze
multiple navigational menus
ignored news and alerts
confusing fee attribution
THE PORTAL REDESIGN
For immediate ROI we redesigned the information architecture and the look of the portal.
