Single-Sign-On Web Application Wireframe Challenge - NDA required

Welcome to the “Single-Sign-On Web Application Wireframe Challenge”.  In this challenge we are looking for your help to design an intuitive and easy to follow user experience, with wireframes and user flows, for a new single sign-on portal experience. You will be focused on creating the concepts for desktop and mobile device experiences.

The winning designs will be used as inputs to the next rounds of visual design and prototype creation challenges in support of this project. Modern UI/UX best practices should be considered when creating the wireframe designs and user flows.

This Studio competition will be run as a two-round tournament with a total prize purse of $2,500.

Background Information
We need to design the new wireframes and user flows for a new single sign-on and portal experience based on the Salesforce Customer Identity & Access Management (CIAM) solution. Since header and footer navigation across the user portal is also part of this experience, we want to take the opportunity to standardize where possible too.

Current corporate website navigation and experience will be your main guideline for content reference. It is important to ensure that the wireframes are able to accomodate a responsive design and user experience.

For this challenge, you must include a "Notes.txt" file (or PDF) explaining the design choices and recommendations for your concept.
