Portal-Building Software
A brief comparison of portal-building software: a 'demo' version
of our e-book resources.
Portal-Building Software
Many of the better storefront programs will create portals, but
the programs listed below are aimed specifically at portal build.
Remember that you can also:
-
rent a portal from a hosting company.
-
add portal-like features to an existing website, either by
purchasing extra software or by using facilities offered by
the hosting company.
-
employ an application
service provider to build the portal for you.
The more sophisticated portals obviously shade into customer
relationship and content management systems. The term 'portal'
is used variously, and you may find what you're looking for under
shopping carts or content management systems.
