CMS Portals
CMS Portals (Web Portals) is a kind of Content Management
Systems (CMS) that provide personalized capabilities to their visitors. With
portal CMS a webmaster can create community-based portals with an automated web
site allowing users and editors to post new items, comment articles, discuss
different topics, etc.
Some CMS are better suitable for to create web portals than others. That doesn't
mean that they can not be used as more regular CMS for developing and updating
your web site. It just means that it is easier to create online communities
with these systems.
These CMS portals can be extended with plugins, modules, hacks, etc. You can also
change the look and feel with a lot of skins/themes, both free one's and commercial
skins/themes. There is also a variety of languages supported if you don't use
English. With many of these systems you can also integrate other software, e.g.
galleries, wikis, etc.
NOTE: Demos of the software below will soon
be ready on our demo site.
