Partner site
The audience for a partner site are the partners of an organization. The site provides information and applications that are not applicable to the broader audience of consumers. A partner site would typically require a login but would not use an automated registration system. The business partners would be known to the company and given a login to access the partner site.
A partner site may include the following areas:
- News area focused on partners.
- Promotions area detailing special deals for partners.
- Online services, tools, and resources such as calculators, forms, and catalogs.
- Billing area where partners can see the current bill status for services contracted from the organization.
- Community area where partners may post information about themselves.
