Develop Portal

[yllai]

I would like to have a web portal. Anyone can guide me how to start it up?
Any tutorial on it?

Thanks.

Building a portal is easy. Get any CMS engine and customise it to suit the way you want information displayed.

Getting people to use it, and marketing it is a very different matter.

It is very very difficult and takes a lot of expertise.

Are you sure it's the right thing for you?

What is CMS engine?

[trillianjedi]

CMS = Content Management System.

Don't take this the wrong way (I'm still just playing devil's advocate) but with the questions that you're asking I would suggest you set your sights a little lower for the moment.

Develop something simpler and use it as a learning experience for website development, branding and marketing.

These are all skills which are fundamental to launching any kind of portal.

where can I get/download CMS?

[Marcia]

Do a search for open source cms or open source content management systems and compare the features for them.

Build it and they will come is soooo 90s. Eh Trill?

I think that was a flawed concept even in the 90's emodo!

and yet so many newbies think that just becuase they create a webpage they should start making big bucks through eCommerce!

It should be: IF you build it, you've built it.
