»  E-commerce Portal:

“E-commerce is nothing but the business done through an internet”.

Building a portal:

The ecommerce web site design portal you'll build depends on your intentions. Though portals are simply doorways on the Internet that bring together sites and services organized about some common theme, they differ widely in the areas they address (local community, interest group, commercial activity or market sector) and the additional features they supply — discussion forum, surveys, expertise directories, etc.

Some portals are little more than a few pages with multiple website listings, and these obviously need no special portal software to build. Pages are typically pared down to essentials: simple listings, graphics kept to a minimum for quick downloads. News and free offers are obtained cheaply or free by arrangement with other sites, and site maintenance revolves round marketing.

Marketing is indeed the key requirement. Companies won't pay decent advertising rates until site traffic is very appreciable, and site traffic won't grow until the portal offers what visitors cannot find elsewhere.

Portal owners generally solve this Catch 22 situation by engaging in massive advertising and by charging only nominal rates for advertising until the site catches on.

The second concern is the hosting platform. Sites receiving tens of thousands of hits per day won't survive on virtual servers shared with other sites. Dedicated or in-house servers are the order of the day, with all the maintenance costs of employing expert IT staff.

“In short we can say that the E-commerce Portal is a challenge in the Business on-line”.
