A few months ago, Kaspersky Lab contracted my agency to build a series of websites that would allow retail sales reps to learn about Kaspersky’s new products and upon completion of a quiz, download and use their new software.

Kaspersky wanted us to set up a different website for each of the seven retailers that were going to carry their Internet Security 2009 during the launch. We determined that all seven websites would look the same, except for the retail branding that would reflect the individual retailer.  I designed the site so that the site would be built once, and then one image would be swapped out for the different variations.  Each site was to be password protected to limit users to those who are current employees at the different retailers. 

Once the architecture and design were finally nailed down, the most complicated part of the site was the quiz.  After trying a few different quiz applications, we ended up going with a package created by Articulate.  It allowed me to set up a ten question (plus bonus) quiz. As soon as the user finished the quiz, it would then give the user a score, and if necessary, show the user which questions they had answered incorrectly.

After this stage, the user would then enter their name, email address and store number.  They would then be sent an activation code for the software.  I built the form to submit the information, and then distribution of the activation codes was left up to Kaspersky. 

The sales people in the different retailers were given some materials to help acclimate themselves with the new software.  This piece also gave the sales reps the username/password for their particular portal site.

The previous five paragraphs overly simplify the process of the creation of this website(s), but it was a challenging project.  You can see a working version of the website here.  I have disabled the login and the submission form.
