An Effective web portal can be defined
as a site which gives a wide array of information
which is arranged in a manner which is easily
accessible to the user. When designed, implemented
and maintained correctly a web portal becomes
the starting or entry point of a web user
introducing him into various information,
resources and other sites in the internet.
It has the power to draw together a common
group of people together, common on the
basis of their age, profession, location
etc.
| Different
Types of portals |
The portals
can be differentiated on the basis
of their content and intended users.
They can be categorized into
Vertical Portals (Vortals)
These are web portals which focus
only on one specific industry, domain
or vertical. Vertical portals or vortals
simply provide tools, information,
articles, research and statistics
on the specific industry or vertical.
As the web has become a standard tool
for business vortals provide an ideal
gateway for businesses to market their
products & services and to gain
exposure within their vertical by
developing and using vortals. Classic
examples of vertical portals are cnet.com
which focuses only on computer and
related issues, mp3.com only on mp3
audio etc.
Horizontal Portals
These are web portals which focus
on a wide array of interests and topics.
They focus on general audience and
try to present something for everybody.
Horizontal portals try act as an entry
point of a web surfer into the internet,
providing content on the topic of
interest and guiding towards the right
direction to fetch more related resources
and information. Classic examples
of horizontal portals are yahoo.com,
msn.com etc which provide visitors
with information and on a wide area
of topics.
Intranet Portals (Enterprise
Portals)
These are portals developed and maintained
for use by members of the intranet
or the enterprise network. In today’s
demanding business enterprise the
key to productivity of the employees
