API Portal Development

During my tenure at Green Dot Corporation, I worked closely with the company's development team and third-party vendors to transition over 500 pages of technical API documentation and hundreds of pages of release notes from PDF delivery to an online portal. Once the portal platform was in place, content-development activities included:
 

 Reorganizing and rewriting the existing content to improve readability and usability.

Adding new ongoing API documentation and release notes for every release thereafter.

   

Today, the Green Dot Portal provides existing and future partners easy access to the APIs required to do business with Green Dot.

This site supported all internal NCR audiences involved with eCommerce. This included system programmers, sales personnel, management, legal office, etc.

This was a public website that specifically advertized NCR eCommerce Solutions to all interested parties. In addition, a portion of the site was dedicated specifically to paying NCR customers.
