Web portal design
Web portal design aims at a fully developed elaborate website.
Visitors gain an initial impression of a website from its home page. The
way visitors perceive a portal makes them automatically draw their own
conclusions as to what awaits them. One of the chief functions of the
Internet portal is to prompt visitors to make a decision about visiting
the website in detail. An attractive portal makes one curious about the
contents of every page in the site. An unattractive portal makes one feel
uneasy. If visitors were unable to make a quick exit, they would not feel
positive about the portal. The design of portals is of huge importance,
as the information they convey influences the attitude of a visitor. Successful
web portal design pre-supposes the following characteristics
- To instinctively understand how the portal functions
- To get one's bearings as this makes one feel comfortable
- To find what one needs and expects
- To go quickly to where one wants to be
- Not to have to operate the portal oneself but to be able to simply
use it
Using portals is a highly psychological and emotional experience.
Like websites, portals should identify with their users and meet their
needs. Web portal designs must simplify their users' work and must be
adapted to the cognitive requirements of the user rather than be mere
showpieces or grand testimonies to the skills of either the developer
or the website client. Excellone Web Solutions Development Company, India
has been involved in the creation of several web portal design models,
aided by tools, which help to realize the chief Internet portal functions,
in turn, educating the aspirant developers to be adept in successful web
portal design.
Internet Portal Functions
Internet portal functions can be broadly defined as the manner
in which web portals go about fulfilling the needs of the visitor, designer
and the website owner. Web portals that are based on the expectations
and activities of their users, will effectively meet these expectations.
They are not too complex but clearly structured so that their users will
instinctively understand the structure. A manageable structure enables
users to find their way around and make a mental note of this structure.
A web portal design, which is concise from a user perspective,
is easy to operate. This means that users can understand the paths available
to them. They can recognize what the portal has to offer and how to use
it. The portal uses a form of flat navigation and the applications, information,
and reports are just a few mouse clicks away. They motivate users, arouse
their curiosity to go further, promise the visitor added value and keep
that promise. Successful web portal design by its' very inherent look
and feel, is designed to appeal and has an aesthetic quality while at
the same time is state-of-the-art in terms of usability.
Users can adapt the portal to their needs and way of working.
They can personalize what they want to find in the portal and where they
want to find this. In the future it will not be the users who adapt to
the software, but rather the software that adapts to the users and their
activities. And finally, effective portals promote communication. Portals
represent a new type of approach to using computers and net-based work
environments.
Successful web portal design
Successful web portal design expects one to place the human
being into the center of one's efforts. Therefore, people need to be regarded
for who they are and what they do. Everything the users have to do with
the web portal or accessing of the portal should be part of the portal.
With respect to the information needs, there is no difference from the
traditional design process. The web portal design will benefit from all
information gathered about the prospective user or user group.
Consequently, one will need to investigate, watch, listen,
ask questions, and make sure that he understands the requirements and
how the users rate and prioritize their own work. These data are the fundamentals
on which a design should be based. In addition, these data may have an
impact on more than just the piece of software one has to design. They
may suggest a reorganization of the whole work process or processes. With
respect to web portal design, this aspect is even more important because
portals attempt to support the whole set of tasks a user has to perform.
