Portals
A portal is a site that offers a centralized place for multiple goods and services. In effect, it offers "one stop shopping" on the Internet.
A portal is not limited to offering its own goods and services for sale. It acts as a gateway to what the Internet has to offer. More
specifically, it allows Web surfers specific channels that help them direct their surfing efforts more efficiently.
An effective Web portal offers:
Company name and the Web site
An effective Web portal offers:
- Essential "stickiness" for people to return to for convenience of their services in one place
- A sense of community for people to chat and pursue similar interests.
- Direction
- An information source
- A revenue stream for other sites listing on the portal
Indirectly related to revenue in terms of company "branding," your company Web site name is important for many reasons. It defines who the
company is and possibly what it does. Remember, too, that limited options are available for domain names.
It is possible that you will create an e-commerce site for an already-existing company. If this is the case, you have to consider what to name the site. If you are lucky, you will simply name the site after the company. Many site developers for large, multidivisional companies must create site names that reflect a particular company function or product.
For example, Sun supports many Web sites, including On January 27, 2010, Sun was acquired by Oracle Corporation for $7.4 billion dollars based on an agreement signed on April 20, 2009.
Oracle announced Wednesday it completed its acquisition of Sun Microsystems in a deal valued at more than $7 billion, a move that transforms the database and business-software giant into a hardware company as well.
You must create a name that adequately conveys the site's purpose, products, and services.
In the next lesson, the process of defining products and services will be discused.
