Tivoli
Tivoli is part of the software group of IBM. In 2000-2002, Tivoli had a seperate web site from IBM. Sherri of Creative Swirl worked as part of the Tivoli web team in charge of the marketing web site. Sherri implemented many designs of the Tivoli site including everything from individual pages to event specific sites to an entire redesign of the nearly 60,000 page Tivoli.com web site.
The Challenge
Tivoli was in a transition phase moving from its own identity to become more absorbed under the IBM web site. The biggest challenge was to juggle input from multiple executive clients to come up with a cohesive design plan. Additionally, implementing a full redesign of a site this large involves plenty of planning and time to implement the changes to launch all at the same time. The site could not be left static durning this time thus a team of people needed to work on the site in parrallel.
Front page of site redesigned numerous times. History of design changes:
- 2000
- Mockup for the Tivoli front page once combined onto IBM.com
- Final mockup
Other work on Tivoli.com
- Tivoli.com Navigation
All of the navigation used on Tivoli.com, masthead, left navigation and footer. The look and feel were mostly dictated by the current IBM.com look and feel which was at the time much different than the Tivoli.com site. View the old look to compare. Left navigation required editing every page on the approximately 60,000 page web site. This involved extensive planning so that regular day-to-day updates could still be made by the rest of the team while editing the pages for the look and feel change. - Tivoli.com Secondary Pages
Due to redesign of masthead, footer, and left navigation for entire site, the secondary pages were in need of redesign to better fit with the color scheme and general look and feel. - Tivoli.com Splash Pages
These are product solution specific pages. In an attempt to make the page have more focus and more room for featuring important information, additions to the design were made with edits to organize the information.
