Standing up a fully functional account management site without building it from the ground up

INTUIT TURBOCARD

One of my big projects of 2018 was redesigning the Walmart MoneyCard site for Intuit. Green Dot signed a new partnership with Intuit to provide a prepaid debit account to people completing their taxes. The contract included a fully-functional web experience for both acquisition and account management. Green Dot decided to clone and reskin the Walmart MoneyCard site with the Intuit branding and a few other changes. My job was to dig through the code, update graphics, CSS and other particulars that would allow Green Dot to stand up an entire new site with just a new CSS file and a folder full of images. I worked directly in code. At it’s height, the Intuit program served around 250,000 users.

“Great work, Eric. This looks way better than the original.”

JASON CONNESS (MY BOSS)

I took the liberty to make a few judgement calls for Intuit. The Walmart design was a little more “effected” than I like to see in a web site. Gradients, dropshadows, even the dotted lines in tables and headers got a little makeover. I think the new design is cleaner, more striking and feels much more now even though the underlying HTML didn’t really change. Intuit pulled a few features from the dashboard and they had their new footer and other details, but all the underlying structure is the same.

During the pitch phase of the Intuit partnership I built this user interface demo.
