Web Portal Development Services
In web portal development since 2005, ScienceSoft will diligently study the goals of your future portal and pack the needed functionality into a usable custom web app.
Web portal development is an end-to-end service to plan and implement a secure and user-friendly digital space to serve your customers, partners, and employees. Web portals enable self-service functions for target users and give access to services, products, information, and communication tools.
Web Portals We Can Create for Your Business
A web portal is a secure web-based platform that gives access to varied functionality and content via an easy-to-navigate interface.

Laying the Foundation for Great User Experience
Each web portal is a unique solution that is created strictly for the needs of a particular company and often combines the features of 2-3 portal types.

- Drag-and-drop page builder.
- Unified content publishing styles to bring order to information and ensure integrity during the portal updates.
- User-generated content.

Reliability and security

Key Differences between Web Portal Solutions and Websites
1

4
5
QA and testing
For high-quality test planning, the QA team reviews portal requirements and user stories, and architecture design. Then, in parallel with development, our QA team verifies that your web portal runs as planned and complies with all set requirements and checks the security of your data. Wherever reasonable, we employ test automation to decrease testing time and costs.
6
Deployment and setup
We get the portal running in your IT environment, train your support team if needed and provide user guides.
7
After-release support
For 1-3 months, we answer your after-release questions, manage incidents, configuration changes and updates.
