Portal software must reflect the customers corporate identity and branding guidelines. For this reason, we provide a technological infrastructure and tools to support customers in this goal. The current portal release offers a certain amount of design flexibility that allows our customers to fulfill their branding needs.

This flexibility is achieved by:

  • Placing all design information into cascading style sheets (CSS) instead of writing it directly into the code. As far as possible, images are defined with the CSS attribute background-image.

  • Using only central CSS in all HTMLB controls.

  • Shipping predefined design variants (color templates) of the portal among which our customers can choose.

  • Providing the Style Editor tool for supporting branding activities at the customers' sites.

Below you see the portal with the Mango and Polarwind standard design and the same portal with a customized design.
