MyYahoo! Broadband Portal Redesign - 2004

The MyYahoo! Broadband Portal is Yahoo!’s premium portal for Broadband Access customers. The portal leverages the MyYahoo! platform to deliver customization capabilities with added rich media modules, advanced functionality and premium content.

The site follows an evolutionary process building innovative new features on top of the MyYahoo! platform optimized to meet specific engagement and performance objectives. During the v2.0 to v3.0 upgrade my team addressed the redesign of the portal header to incorporate the Yahoo! Vertical Search feature, Yahoo! property shortcut links and customer care services. We refined the overall portal framework and partner co-branding capabilities. Within the portal we added dynamic Flash functionality to the Today and Quick Picks modules, which are shown to the right. More specifically, in the case of the Today module, we incorporated inline video functionality and the ability to paginate through multiple collections of articles, which dramatically increased content consumption on the portal.

As the Senior Design Manager, Mark's responsibilities were to oversee the various enhancements. I initiated the concepting, set the strategic direction and oversaw the interaction and visual design development. I was also responsible for coordinating my team’s efforts with the MyYahoo! team to ensure consistency and platform compatibility.
