"Lucas was critical to this project." — Solution Architect

Problem

The company was running fragmented community portals on legacy infrastructure. The communities were fragmented across internal systems, misaligned with the organization's updated brand identity, and built on an information architecture that couldn't scale to serve global distributors, partners, and internal sales teams from a single, coherent experience. Users were navigating siloed portals that didn't reflect the brand or serve their actual information needs efficiently.

Approach
1

Conducted a full review of existing Salesforce Community structures, product catalogs, and content taxonomies across persona groups

2

Developed an integrated site map covering direct sales, distributor, and partner experiences within a unified portal architecture

3

Proposed Coveo for federated search to unify multiple disconnected internal and external data sources

4

Designed a 20+ screen high-fidelity Figma prototype to socialize and validate the vision with stakeholders before build

Solution

A redesigned Salesforce Experience Cloud portal with a unified information architecture, an unauthenticated homepage communicating portal value to new visitors, Coveo-powered federated search across internal and external systems, and product discussion topics to drive community engagement and reduce support volume. The design gave a global user base of distributors, partners, and internal teams a single, brand-aligned portal experience built to scale — and reduced the support burden that had been driven by fragmented, hard-to-navigate legacy communities.
