Abstract:

Delivering a great digital experience for your customers or employees depends on having a polished UI that meets your organization's unique needs. WebSphere Portal & WCM come with a full spectrum of UI customization options, from straightforward to sophisticated. In this session we will give you a flavour of that full range, starting with powerful customization options that can be applied more simply than you would imagine. At the other end of the scale, we'll explore the capabilities available if you need go much further in developing a custom UI, taking as an example a custom page-editing capability. We will look at the extension points and APIs provided by the product, the opportunities they present and some of the different possible design approaches to our page-editing case study.
