Westfield API portal
Westfield API Portal home page
There was an update to the brand language and our API portal needed to reflect those changes. We updated various components of the pattern library such as color palette, and type scale. The presentation immediately felt lighter and more friendly. Though most of our users ran in engineering circles, part of our audience we had to please were the company's executives and stakeholders. So not only did it have to work right, it had to look snazzy too.

Before and After
Outcome
I successfully applied Westfield's new digital style to our API portal. The portal, then hosted by Mashery, was challenging to implement due to template constraints on the host side. None the less, we were able to achieve success. Not only in representing our brand, but making it easy for users to access. The site has since then gotten a face-lift to reflect our updated brand guidelines.
