“…The way to build a successful website is the key-point that faces all enterprises contemplating initiatives in the Web (Rosen and Purinton 2004). High levels of user acquisition and retention are considered to be main measures of portal success and as a result, only those sites that attract and keep the desired target audience of users and build valuable customer relationships will be able to accomplish long-term success (Clarke and Flaherty 2003). A business' website can become a storefront and needs to function efficiently, also having the visual appeal to attract and preserve customers (Calitz and Scheepers 2002).…”

“…Afterwards, the marketing manager's should utilize understanding of end user needs since they are potential consumers. If managers realize that their target audience requests applications such as e-mail, stock market information, newsgroups, free software downloads, searching capabilities, those applications need to be incorporated at this stage of portal design (Clarke and Flaherty 2003). Among the basic guidelines for identifying requirements throughout the process of designing a portal are the deep understand about the users and the generation of a stable set for the environment and context in which the system will be used.…”

Fishculture has been flourishing during the last decades in Greece and EU. Many enterprises in fishfarming sector have already proceeded in employing ecommerce and they have created their websites. This paper aims to assess websites of commercial purpose within fishculture sector and identify their optimum group. As a case study it was selected the paradigm of Greece. Qualitative and quantitative content characteristics were identified in the retrieved websites that were further ranked according to 13 content characteristics/criteria using the multicriteria method of PROMETHEE II. Finally, the retrieved websites were classified in groups, aiming to identify the optimum group of websites concerning content characteristics.

“…Nevertheless, once a project design has been implemented it is important that the degree of success is measured since this will help to inform future developments. The success or effectiveness of commercial portals is usually measured in terms of user acquisition and retention (Clarke and Flaherty 2003). There are, however, a number of alternative ways in which success can be measured:…”

Abstract.-Online biodiversity portals and databases enabling access to large volumes of biological information represent a potentially extensive set of resources for a variety of user groups. However, in order for these resources to live up to their promise they need to be demonstrably useful to the communities they are intended to serve. We discuss a number of principles that can be applied to portal development that assist in defining the scope of user communities, determining their requirements within the context of the data available and establishing realistic goals for a portal or portal development tools. We highlight a lack of user involvement and formalised requirements analysis in biodiversity portal projects to date, and compare this with a similar project in the Astrophysics community. It is concluded that the poor understanding of both the users and their tasks that arises from this lack of analysis makes it difficult to assess the success of a portal and increases the risk of the portal being judged to have failed. We suggest that a change in the way large biodiversity portal projects are managed, presented and funded could lead to an increased perception of success with minimal change in the underlying infrastructure, yet enhancing the life expectancy of such projects.

4Today's business domains are complex and require faster decisions, better allocation of 5 resource and above all dictate the need to share knowledge both within and outside the 6 domain. Managing dynamic projects in such a volatile business environment requires a 7 structured approach. This paper is concerned with using portal technology as a means 8 for storing and transferring knowledge. The paper demonstrates the use of portal 9 technology, via a case study, to increase the overall project reactivity and achieve the 10 objectives, namely to reduce time, improve decision-making, increase productivity and 11 reliability. A portal developed to manage the VIZCon project is described using a novel 12 framework. A five-step approach for developing an effective project management portal 13 is presented with empirical evidence. 14 15
