Intranet Portal Redesign Project

To improve communications and simplify resources, I led the development and design of my company's employee intranet portal. The goal of the intranet was exceeded in providing resources for training, reference, information, and communication.

The intranet portal was built on a WordPress platform with custom HTML and CSS styling the design. The site is responsive, allowing users to access the portal on their personal devices, even if off site.

The following video was made to promote the redesign of an internal website portal for employees. This video shows just a few of the features in the updated portal to help employees understand that using the intranet portal can help them access their pay information, find updated announcements, look up policies and resources, and more.

Sitemap of User Flow & Navigation

The intranet development team first assessed and listed the needs and desires of the company stakeholders. These listed desires were organized into "buckets" to help to prioritize the pages that we would need to develop and the navigation for the site.

Once the topics were prioritized into an outline, we made them into a sitemap at the following website: https://www.gloomaps.com/jigsxiejcf

Visual Sitemap (Detailed & Simplified)

Based on UX research, I created detailed and simplified versions of the sitemap to help both designers and non-designers better understand the site structure and user experience of the intranet site.

Homepage Design & Functionality

To make the intranet most useful to employees, widgets and pertinent information were placed on the home page. Below the top navbar, users can find shortcuts to the most recent company videos, news, calendars of events, and more.

The top TV screen shows the latest videos upon the home page load. Once a user reaches the bottom of the page, a search bar and quick links provide additional navigation options to move around the site.

Intranet Site Webmaster / Web Content Admin Videos

To assist the team in maintaining the intranet portal, I made scores of videos that walked through how to make adjustments and add content. The video also serves the purpose of training future site administrators and developers.
