Project overview———
Five9 embarked on a collaborative journey with Kanopi to elevate their partner program landing page.

Main and Utility Navigation Concerns—The Partners CTA in the utility navigation is inconspicuous and easily missed. Given its importance in cultivating partnerships within the Five9 ecosystem, it should be more prominently placed for greater visibility.
Partner Landing Structure and Hierarchy—The landing page has excessive information without clear partnership goals or benefits. It lacks clear pathways to browse each benefit and potential partnership, as well as effective organizational storytelling to engage users.
Visual Impression—on the landing page fail to engage users, presenting a lower quality compared to the offered products and services. Despite promoting advanced technologies, the page looks dated, creating a disconnect from the website’s overall design and branding.
Engagement Concerns—The lack of clear pathways and a partner locator reduces user engagement and impedes their ability to make informed decisions about pursuing a partnership.
The project success envisions creating an enhanced partner program landing page, that will spotlight the benefits, tools, and value, showcasing collaboration as a gateway to technology that empowers partners and customers for success. The project will encompass the integration of the new partner locator into the website, streamlining user exploration of innovative partners within the Five9 ecosystem and aligning seamlessly with Five9’s broader partnership growth initiative. This endeavor will enhanced the visibility of the pathway to the Partners page within the main navigation, eliminating it from the secondary utiliting navigation. The content will be streamlined for better user understanding and organizational storytelling, while visuals will be optimized to align with the established web design, branding, and messaging. These enhancements collectively work to reshape the partner program experience, embodying a vision of impactful partnerships driven by technology and collaboration, ultimately fostering remarkable success.

By using thoughtfully designed high-detail wireframes that align with the existing branding, I established a strong foundation for smoothly transitioning into the design phase of the website’s partner section. To emphasize the partner ecosystem, a key aspect of the project, I incorporated the cloud element from the logo into the desktop page, adding a unique touch and bringing the wireframes to life.
I aimed to create a cohesive look by choosing colors, creating custom iconography, refining typography for visual consistency, and enhancing the partner pages with various elements for a polished appearance. The result was a visually appealing and user-friendly partner section of the website that captures the desired style while providing an excellent user experience. This achievement aligns perfectly with the project’s goals and intentions.
