Our web portal development services enable organizations to accelerate their business, attract and retain users, enhance customer engagement, optimize B2B interactions, and drive B2C transactions effectively. Here are some key web portal types we build from scratch:
Self-service portals are designed to empower customers or users to access information, perform transactions, and find solutions on their own. They provide a user-friendly interface where customers can manage their accounts, view order history, make payments, submit support tickets, or access self-help resources, reducing the need for direct customer support.
Customer Service Portals
Customer service portals that we build allow employees to provide back-office customer support. Features, including account management, live chat, ticket handling, knowledge bases for employees, and more accelerated response times and improved satisfaction in resolving customer concerns.
B2B (Business-to-Business) portals facilitate collaboration and transactions between businesses. These solutions provide a secure platform for business partners, suppliers, and distributors to access shared information, manage orders, track shipments, and conduct business transactions.
Community portals serve as online platforms that bring together individuals with shared interests, hobbies, or affiliations. These solutions foster engagement, communication, and knowledge sharing within the community. Community portals offer discussion forums, event calendars, member directories, and resource sharing, facilitating networking and collaboration among community members.
Employee portals are designed to facilitate internal communication, collaboration, and information sharing within an organization. They offer employees access to company policies, HR information, training materials, company news, employee directories, and other resources.
Vendor portals are designed to streamline communication and collaboration between businesses and their suppliers or vendors. They provide features such as purchase order management, inventory management, invoicing, and vendor performance tracking. Vendor portals optimize the procurement process, improve transparency, and enhance vendor relationships.
How to Create a Web Portal
Creating a web portal requires full cycle software development including planning, UI/UX design, coding and testing as well as attention to detail, and collaboration between designers, developers, and stakeholders. It’s important to follow best practices, adhere to web standards, and prioritize user experience to deliver a successful and user-friendly web portal. By utilizing our customer portal software development services, you can leverage the expertise and experience of professionals to come up with a robust, secure, and user-friendly portal that meets your specific business requirements, enhances user experiences, and drives business growth. Creating a web portal involves several steps to ensure its successful operation. Here’s a general overview of the process:
We create a comprehensive plan for the portal's further development, including the layout, structure, and user interface. We develop wireframes and prototypes to visualize the portal's design and functionality before proceeding to development.
Developing the front-end of the portal, focusing on creating the user interface, navigation, and interactive elements. Use HTML, CSS, and/or JavaScript to build the visual components and ensure a responsive design that is compatible with various devices and browsers.
Developing the back-end of the portal, which includes the server-side logic, database integration, and business logic implementation. Choose a suitable programming language and a back-end framework to handle user authentication, data processing, and interactions with external systems.
Integrating the portal with relevant data sources and external services. This may involve connecting to databases, APIs, third-party applications, or other systems to retrieve and update data in real-time, such as customer relationship management (CRM) software, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, marketing automation, CDP and BI tools, payment gateways, or social media platforms.
We conduct web portal testing to identify and fix any bugs, errors, or usability issues. Perform functional testing, compatibility testing across multiple devices and browsers, and user acceptance testing. Address any issues discovered during the testing phase.
We regularly update and maintain the portal to address any issues, add new features, and keep it up to date with evolving technologies and user needs.
