57
Industry Portals
VerticalNet created 57 portals for numerous industries. The challenge here
was to develop an automated yet branded solution that would work throughout
the offering and allow VerticalNet to rapidly produce new vertical marketplaces.
Here, the portal home page and an individual vendor catalog share the same
look and feel with the vendor’s logo prominently displayed on the Catalog.
Maximized
Screen Usage
eSource offered its own particular set of challenges because of the complicated
nature of airline purchases. The consumer side of the industry became deregulated
several years past. However, the opposite was true with the purchase of parts
for airlines. Layers of regulated parts information had to be interjected
into the sort and search for parts. This product employed DHTML pop-up rows
within search results to maximize screen real estate. Just one of the reason's
why this product’s release was so embraced by the industry.
