You have put up the good question but I also want to about portal website. I don’t understand the difference between portal website and normal website.
@webzestyJun 10.2014 — #Portal website are job, matrimonial, e-commerce website, classified site etc are come in the portal website and rest of other website like business, travel, education etc are comes in the category of normal website.
@RebekahcorlinJun 11.2014 — #Portal websites are also used for educational information sharing web sites. People can view the recent update and order or purchase instantly through portal website.
@anirban09PJun 20.2014 — #A web portal is most often one specially-designed Web page at a website which brings information together from diverse sources in a uniform way. Usually, each information source gets its dedicated area on the page for displaying information (a portlet); often, the user can configure which ones to display. Variants of portals include Mashup (web application hybrid) and intranet "dashboards" for executives and managers.
