A portal is a like a building… The public can see the outside, but only those who register can see the inside (even they are only in the lobby) until they are granted access to other parts of the building.

Overview: Definition of Today’s Portals Traditionally, a portal denotes a gate, a door, or entrance. In the context of the World Wide Web, it is the next logical step in the evolution to a digital culture. Web pages are not completely selfreferential anymore, but allow for personalization, workflow, notification, knowledge management and groupware, infrastructure functionality, and integration of information and applications. The idea of a portal is to collect information from different sources and create a single point of access to information - a library of categorized and personalized content. It is very much the idea of a personalized filter into the web.

This is an educationally based portal diagram. As each person registers, they view and/or edit information based on permissions granted to them by the administrator of the portal.

CMS Web. Portal - Administration:

CMS Web. Portal - Totally Modular: Adding a module is as simple as plugging it into the page. Modules can be set to deliver content according to the calendar. The admin decides who sees and edits which modules. Modules are pieces of code that each present some functionality to the user, like a personnel contacts list, events calendar, or a list of announcements. CMS Web. Portal comes with a wide variety of content modules, each designed to manage a common type of website or portal content. Typically, several content modules are grouped on a portal page to create a web page. Modules can be added, edited, deleted, restored, moved on a page, or transfer to another page.

Gifford built the web presence for my company, Buell Group, and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants a robust system. My background is running tech companies and his software solutions would typically cost between $10, 000 - $50, 000 by having them built by someone else. I work with a lot of technical people and he is hands-down one of the best technical minds I have ever worked with and very accommodating to his customers.
