What home page designs are the most effective?

Your Partners are looking to quickly gain access to the tools and resources needed to sell and market your solution(s), so having a simple navigation system as part of the overall design of the portal is key. When designing your home page, consider displaying the most important information above the fold, such as: 

• A welcome to the Partner that explains the purpose of the portal
• Available Resources 
• News and information specific to Partners  
• Information on spiffs and promotions  
• Links to key parts of the partner portal (i.e. deal registration)
