Creating a web portal can open up new opportunities for your business in terms of how you share special announcements, deals, and data with stakeholders. If you’ve embarked on software modernization recently, developing one can support your operations after migrating to the cloud.
Take supporting stakeholders, for example. Through a web portal, you can help your customers, employees, vendors, partners, patients, and/or members to log in and interact with your organization securely and in a more personalized manner. It will help you provide better customer service, optimize business processes, and is easy to manage.
A web portal is a secure, online, and single access point for organized information.
It usually involves users logging in to access their profiles as members, as in this example from Excellus:
A web portal usually pulls information from different places and organizes it in a central location where it can be accessed by users. This information can be related or unrelated.
It can also display as categorized data, links, services, and interactive elements. Web portal development facilitates the creation of this useful, secure, and personalized access point that organizes information according to specific users’ needs.
You may hear it referred to as web portal application development or portal application development.
In any case, the process involves using advanced web development skills and best practices, such as rich application development, registration systems, server-side and client-side scripting.

7 Steps to Create a Web Portal
For reference, here’s a general process for creating a web portal application, step-by-step.
Planning stage
First, you’ll define who you’re building the web portal for, why, and when. You’ll also specify how you’ll make the information easy-to-access, personalized to stakeholders’ needs, secured, and up-to-date.
Web portal design
This stage is not just about applying web portal styling and UI/UX best practices. It also requires drawing up the web portal architecture and defining its navigation
Web portal development starts
Developers focus on delivering a web-accessible platform that users can use to manipulate different functions as they need. Developing portal solutions and applications can involve up to a dozen tools and platforms, including:
Databases such as MySQL (SQL), Cassandra (NoSQL), Oracle (SQL), and AWS (cloud)
Real-time data processing tools such as Amazon Kinesis, Azure Stream Analytics, and RabbitMQ
For back-end such as Node.js, Python, and .NET
Cloud platforms such as AWS, Rackspace, and Digital Ocean
Front-end such as HTML5, Meteor, and Angular
CMSs such as WordPress, Magento, and Salesforce
Mobile platforms such as IOS, Android, Flutter, and Cordova.
The tool or platform you’ll want to choose will depend on your needs and your past experience creating successful portals.
Add integrations
This stage involves connecting all the tools you or your users need to accomplish their goals into the portal. Depending on your use case, this could include custom software or even SaaS products.
Testing stage
Before deployment, experienced developers test portal applications to catch any errors, missed requirements, or instability issues.
Deploy the web portal
The first version of the new portal application is ready for piloting with a few key users, with all previously identified issues resolved.
Monitor performance and iterate accordingly
If the portal meets your KPIs and standards, it’s time to open it up to more users and monitor performance in real-time. Again, working with an excellent portal application development service can help you create a portal that works hassle-free, without wasting time, money, or ruining your reputation among users.
