Marketing+ is an internal marketing training site run through Sharepoint. Though Sharepoint presents a lot of limitations in terms of design, it allows us to quickly and frequently get training content out to our division marketers. It also gives us the space to store marketing assets, such as templates, ads, logos and more, for access and/or download within the company nationwide.
This site is my baby. Shortly after I joined D.R. Horton, we began creating the site through Sharepoint to replace our old version, which was neither user or admin friendly. It took forever to load, was difficult to navigate, articles would get buried and be impossible to find, and every new training had to be given to the web developers. I was given ownership of this project with the objective of righting all these wrongs on a new platform, as well as applying our brand to the design as much as Sharepoint would allow.
I pushed and pulled at the boundaries of Sharepoint for months to create the best User Experience possible with such a robust amount of information in a limited environment. Now that the site is "finished" (is anything like this ever really finished?), I also handle most of the training articles and tutorials on the site. I write/create about half of them, and assist others on the marketing team in writing the rest.
This site is also where we store the link to our brand guide, which was also redesigned by yours truly. Check that out on my portfolio as well.
The following is a short clip example of the site. I cannot share too much of the site, as this was created for internal use only.
This is not *exactly* how the page appears to others in my company, as I have Sharepoint admin access while most of the company does not. For example, the blue and gray bars do not exist for others.
