| A Web portal is a site on the World Wide Web that typically provides personalised capabilities to its visitors, providing a pathway to other content. It is designed to use distributed applications, different numbers and types of middleware and hardware to provide services from a number of different sources. In addition, business portals are designed to share collaboration in workplaces. A further business-driven requirement of portals is that the content be able to work on multiple platforms such as personal computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and cell phones.
A solid portal framework (and there are many good ones on the market today) provides a technical base from which you can manage, implement, and control the distribution of
applications to all of your users-both internal and external. However, access to applications alone does not guarantee a usable portal. The standard, out-of-the-box design of a portal's user interface can often be complex, confusing, and even overwhelming to the user.
When designing a portal at Sigma Infotech, we ensure that it adheres to the following rules:
Good orientation for first time users
Easy to find information
Not overwhelming users with functionality on one page
Easy navigation a key to portal design
Adhere and Re-visit the scope of the portal regularly
Consistency across the portal - Functionality, Navigation, Usability
Control to the Portal Administrators
Adhering to these rules allow us to design and develop award winning solutions to meet our client needs.
