Web portal development
back

The word "portal," originally used in architecture, in the virtual space initially referred to a website that many users set as their start page. Nowadays, a portal is a web resource that presents either diverse information (horizontal portal) or information on a specific topic (vertical portal) in a uniform manner. Portals can aggregate news from other information sources and create their own content.

Creating a portal is a complex task. Its popularity is typically ensured by a separate information service responsible for editing, determining the relevance and usefulness of information. 


Additionally, an internet portal typically features a range of social services (shared blog, forum, news feed with extensive commenting and discussion capabilities) to build a steady audience for the online project.

Moreover, when creating and maintaining a portal, careful attention must be paid to information services, the combination of which is usually the determining factor for users to bookmark a page or set it as their start page.

One type of internet portal is a corporate portal - a web page accessible only to employees of a corporation, offering the ability to make decisions, monitor business processes, hold meetings, and focus groups online. Today, this is one of the most popular ways to utilize this powerful web tool, primarily due to the decreasing significance of start pages as internet connection speeds increase. Additionally, modern browsers allow users to customize their start page according to their preferences, such as including information from news feeds.
