Carry your message world-wide or just next door by keeping it fresh on the Web.
We help you build a portal - but more than that. You get a way to keep information current so visitors quickly grasp what you want them to know.

What is a Portal, and how is it different from a typical website?
A portal is a specific kind of website that is content and menu driven. You supply the content, and the portal engine displays the content based on the settings you decide. It is a secure website where you can specify users, groups, and permissions to lock down parts of your website reserved for certain users. Every portal includes a file manager to help you upload and keep track of files on your site, a skin manager to give you options for changing the overall look and feel (style) of your website, a page manager to allow you to add, remove, and customize all the pages on your website.

A Portal, or Web Portal, is a Web Site that provides multiple resources, such as discussion forums, search engines, on-line shopping, user managed content, including web logs, image galleries, file sharing, and much more.   A Portal may provide links with other private content or information on the World Wide Web.   The portal can act as the entrance into a secure private site, also known as an “intranet“.

A portal is a public or private space that gives users the ability to organize information, readily access that information, manage documents, share calendars and enable efficient collaboration, all in a familiar, browser-based environment.   All of your information can reside in this central repository, available at any time, from anywhere in the world, using a simple web browser.

Authorized users such as business partners, customers, friends, or family can also use it to collaborate, communicate and share information. 

A portal framework gives you...
  • Ease of use. Web-based editing is easy -- simply use a browser. To change your site, you don't have to rely on someone else who may not understand what you want -- again and again!
    Web sites typically start out with a burst of enthusiasm. Down the road the energy wanes. To keep content fresh, changes have to be easy.
  • Role-based access so users can have different views and privileges.
    ou can set up roles (groups), for example marketing, human resources, finance. Each role has its own set of privileges.
    Place each user in a role -- or more than one. Otherwise a user is just a guest with only guest privileges.
  • Powerful management tools to enhance your site without expensive programming.Send bulk emails to registered users, accept credit card payments, set up a calendar of events, track traffic on your site, create special forms (enrollment, surveys) -- all on demand, and more!
  • Flexibility in how your site looks ("skins") and where you put information -- again without expensive programming!
    Create pages and submenus by changing settings, then add information containers ("modules") wherever you like.

Here are just a few more possibilities you can do with a portal...

  • Sharing documents, files, images, or other content with anyone you authorize
  • Sharing calendars or a calendar of events with others
  • Conducting discussions on any subject you like, private or public
  • Managing and track tasks with a team or group
  • Maintain contact directories with others
  • Conducting opinion polls or ask for feedback
  • Post announcements or news items
  • Share web links and organize them as you choose
  • Privately share messages or chat on line
  • Provide image galleries, music, videos or other media.
  • Compose a document with others, in a team environment

The DotNetNuke Portal is ideal for small business sites, teams, private or public organizations, Business Intrantets, Family Portals, and or private sites.   

Act now to open a door to the world with an attractive web portal.

What are "modules"?
Every portal is built on three fundamental pieces: a Page, and Module, and a User. Essentially, your portal is comprised of a group of Pages that you decide. On each of these pages you can add Modules (such as a calendar, announcements, discussions, news, images, weather, etc.). You can customize each of these modules to meet your needs by adding specific content to the modules. Then, Users who visit your website can view the content that you put in the modules. You can specify permissions on which users can "see" which modules, and which users can "edit" specific modules.

How easy is it to get started?
Once you sign up for your portal, you can either start adding pages, modules, and users immediately, or you can use the "Site Wizard" which will guide you through the process of getting a custom style, and add some pages and modules based on how you want the site to look for you. In fact, the DotNetNuke-Portal.com website IS a portal and we use it everday to build and maintain our own website!

What if you want to have a site with a custom style based on your company or organization?
We can build a custom style based on your colors, logos, and brands. Our solutions designers are able to work with you hand in hand to deliver a professional custom look for you web portal. Plus the cost is only a one-time development fee of $195.00 to build the layout. If this sounds like something you're interested in, contact one of our solutions designers using the contact page.

Benefits
  • Simplify Web site management: Your clients can easily create, manage and publish Web content, regardless of their technical skill level. The browser-based content management system make anyone a webmaster with little or no training required.
  • Speed up your time-to-Web: DotNetNuke-Portal eliminates the web designer middle-man and allows you to deliver functional Web sites to your clients instantly.
  • Reduce costs and Generate Return On Investment: By making it easy for your client to manage their Web content, it reduces the support burden of assisting them with content authoring, deployment, and configuration.
  • Increase Revenue Opportunities: The modular design in DotNetNuke-Portal allows you to upsell premium resources to your clients including site templates, premium content management modules, and multiple database options.
  • Deliver Web site branding and design: Because DotNetNuke-Portal separates site content from site design, you can provide extremely customized site templates for your clients.
  • Replace homegrown solutions: The advanced features in DotNetNuke-Portal far exceed the features in your homegrown 'site builder' systems. DotNetNuke-Portal is constantly adding new features and functionality to address end-user requirements – while saving you valuable development time and expenses.
  • Leverage existing investments: Because DotNetNuke-Portal is built on Microsoft technology, including the .NET Framework, it leverages your existing investments such as Windows servers, database servers, and development tools.
  • Integrate with existing infrastructure: DotNetNuke-Portal is flexible enough to work within your established processes and automated provisioning systems. This allows you to focus on sales rather than support.

Managing Content & Design

Site Settings. All aspects of the site can be managed through the site setting page: title of site, search engine description and submission, user welcome messages, logo, background, and skins.

Stylesheets.  Installation includes built-in stylesheet designed to provide portal with basic and uniform appearance.  This stylesheet can be easily configured to alter certain portal elements such as font type, color, bullet points, and background color.

Site Skins.  “Skinning” provides users with a manageable way to separate application logic/content from its visual presentation. By applying a “skin,” administrators can completely change the look of their portal without the need to reorganize content – all at the click of a button.  Skins can be easily designed, and are widely available through third-party vendors as free offerings or custom-built purchases.

Modules.  These modular pieces of code give some form of specific functionality to the user, and are grouped together in units to form complete web pages.  These modules can be easily added, edited, deleted, restored, moved around on a page, or transferred to other pages.  DotNetNuke installation includes over 25 free modules.  These are:  Account LogIn, Announcements, Banners, Contacts, Discussion, Documents, Events List/Calendar, FAQs, Feedback, IFrame, Image, Links, News Feed (RSS), Search Input, Search Results, Service Directory, Survey, Text/HTML, User Accounts, User Defined Table, Users Online, Weblog Calendar, Weblog Recent List, Weblog Referrals List, Weblogs, and XML/XSL.  A wide variety of modules, with their own purpose and functionality, are available through DotNetNuke community members and many third-party vendors.

File Management.  This powerful tool allows administrators the ability to upload files directly from their computer to their portal.  Any uploaded file becomes instantly available to be used on the portal, or listed in a module that handles documents or file downloads. 

Recycle Bin.  Allows users to restore any content, modules, or pages that have been deleted.  The deleted item is restored to the location it was deletd from.

Drag and Drop Functionality.  Containers and modules are easily moved within pages by mouse, using drag and drop feature.

Banner Advertising.  Revenue can be generated and managed through the use of banner advertisements.  Through the Vendors tab, administrators can easily; add vendors and their profile information; upload banners and determine their placement; define number of impressions, cost per impression, or length of ad campaign; track ad views and click-thrus; and define affiliate referrals.


Security and Roles

-Logging in to a DotNetNuke-Portal site as Administrator allows the user to manage settings related to their own individual portal.  The Administrator may edit, modify, or delete settings specific to their own portal, but has no access to other DotNetNuke-Portal portals operating under the same host.

Security Roles and Protected Content.  DotNetNuke-Portal allows administrators to define and assign roles for different user groups, such as: registered users, subscribers, content providers, affiliates, media, etc. 

   -Administrators can then grant access and editing rights for each group.  When a user logs in to the portal, they may access or edit only the information they are permitted to.  These rights can be assigned to the entire portal, a single page of the portal, or even to an individual module on a specific page.   Individual users may belong to more than one group, therefore may have access and editing rights to various secure areas of the portal.

   -By instituting separate password protected areas throughout a portal, administrators can control who can access each area in the portal, whether they be staff, membership, resellers, or buyers.

Site Log.  The site log can help administrators analyze both their portal users and those coming to view the portal.  This tool generates reports such as: detailed site log, page popularity, page views by day, page views by days of week, page views by hour, page views by month, user frequency, user registration by country, user registration by date. 

Manage Vendors and Affiliates:  Allows administrators to store contact information, advertising materials (banners, button ads), and statistical data on portal vendors and affiliates.  Manages start and end dates for ad campaigns, tracks impressions, and calculates cost per impression (CPM).

Bulk Email:  The Bulk Email program installed with DotNetNuke-Portal lets administrators compose an email message, choose which users or group is to receive the message, and send the item.

Newsletter:  As with the Bulk Email tool, the Newsletter module allows administrators to send a newsletter to a targeted group of users or membership.  However, the Newsletter is created and sent as an HTML document, and archived for future use.

Powerful Modules:  Several of the hundreds of the “core” modules included in the installation of a new DotNetNuke-Portal site are especially useful for managing membership.  On a working portal, the Users Online module displays a variety of membership information, such as:  membership details and people online (members & visitors.)  The Contact module allows users and visitors to send messages to the administrator of the portal.  User Accounts permits registered users to add, edit, or update their user account details. The Contacts module can render contact information for a group of people, such as a group or team.
