asp.net - white label design strategy -
i have data driven web site written in asp.net. i've had 3rd parties contact me , ask if provide branded access own users. think direction want take site, i'm unsure of best way done. i'm looking input on various ways implement this, , pros , cons of each method.
i'm looking put little technical burden on 3rd party possible. can provide them html snippet, , takes integration.
here few ways i've come make happen. please comment on wisdom of each, , provide alternatives if think viable:
- create subdomain 3rd party. read server variables , set theme , data accordingly. provide link 3rd party web master.
- create redirecting page i.e. http://mywebapp.com/landingpage?clientid=xxxx. page takes xxxx , writes session, used set themes , data. similar above
- work within iframe in 3rd parties site.
- provider javascript code 3rd party's web master dynamically generate content on website, originating our servers. i'm not sure how this, see providers disqus , facebook use approach.
i'm facing similar choice now, although requirement of customer top level domain (e.g. company.com.) i'm leaning toward iframe provides maximum customizability (they can run on whatever domain want , frame content - widget sized full page) , less work on our end. strategy seems work quite facebook both on canvas , widgets.
