Portals:
RealTimeSites has extensive experience building Web Portals. Portals are powerful tools to bring web visitors to one place
and from there they can navigate to their areas of interest.
One Place to Bring Traffic: With so many websites available, it becomes a challenge on how to communicate to the public
what addresses are for what. For example, an organization or community may want to provide resources for Education, Jobs,
Commerce, Government, Health, Community Information, etc. To further complicate matters, there may be multiple sites for
Education. This leads to having literally hundreds or thousands of web addresses that web visitors will have to know.
To eliminate this problem, a Portal becomes the solution where all links to websites and web applications are contained
within the Portal. This enables the organization or communities to advertise one web address for all the resources of the
community.
Web-Portal Elements:
Navigation SystemPortals must have a navigation system where visitors come to portal and can easily find their way to their destination.
Search EngineA search engine is a tool website visitors use when they are not able to find their way to their destination through the navigation system.
Catalog of WebsitesTypically a Portal has links to both internal and external websites. This solves the problem of website visitors having to know so many web addresses.
Rich ContentA Portal must be able to provide rich, up-to-date information for its web visitors. RTS Web Portals are built with RTS Content Management software that enables the administrators of the Portal to easily update content on the portal.
Web-ApplicationsRTS Portals are able to support internal as well as external applications served by the Indigenous Communities. Applications come in many forms from simple calendars, photo galleries, RSS feeds, etc. to complex applications that automate various functions of the community.
