When using the Internet, one cannot but pay attention to large web resources with many tabs and useful functions. They are called portals and are designed to make the web easier. It is worth learning more about this interesting concept.

Step 1
A web portal is an internet site that encompasses a wide range of resources and services (email, chat, publications, search engines) combined for a specific community. Users most often have the opportunity to register on the portal to use all the services offered, including setting up a personal workspace.
Step 2
Portals are usually community sites that seek to combine the most interesting and relevant services. Many of them have built their reputations on free services like Windows Live Hotmail (free email).
Thus, web portals provide various options (Internet access, e-mail, free catalogs, etc.) and are designed to simplify the use of the Internet. The largest portals include well-known search engines: Google.com, Yandex.ru and some others, the Russian mail network Mail.ru. The largest web encyclopedia Wikipedia.org is also a worldwide popular and rapidly growing portal.
Step 3
In business, Internet portals can combine various web tools to facilitate navigation among them (for example, an intranet portal). In particular, they bring together financial, technical and marketing forums, investor communities. Such sites are characterized by fine-tuning of the interface in accordance with the preferences of each user. Also, users can only have access to those tools that they are authorized to use (for example, financial statements for income, checking expenses for a manager). On the portals, a single entrance is established for all, which involves entering a username and password to access the necessary information and functions of the site.
