Dwolla Relaunches Developers Portal to Make it More User Friendly

Thumbnail image for DwollaLogo.jpg

Earlier this week, TechCrunch featured the recent relaunch of Dwolla’s developers portal site.

Launched last week, the site was renamedIntegration Portal to reflect the accessibility to tech developers and non-tech users alike.

Visitors to the Integration Portal are faced with two options to identify themselves:

1) I can code: You know the difference between Java and Javascript, and just want to dive into our API documentation.

2) I don’t code: You’re a non-technical executive, the master of partnerships and product, and want to know why Dwolla is right for you.

According to Dwolla’s blog post, selecting the option I don’t code won’t teach you how to code, but it will provide an easy-to-understand rundown of Dwolla and what an integration could mean for your company.

To learn more about Dwolla, watch its FinovateSpring 2012 demo.
