ByteAll Media's team has developed over 100 portals for large companies, and we understand the pitfalls and risks to watch out for. Our experience in portals spans the financial services, retail, heavy industry, high-tech and healthcare industries. ByteAll Media's best practices for effective portal projects include:

• Include user interviews as part of the requirements gathering effort. Observe the users in action to truly understand their needs. This will pay off in droves down the line.
• Usability testing further reduces project risk by solidifying requirements with the end users.
• Use a proven methodology, whether your firm's or a vendors to establish standards, consistency and a focused process.
• Plan for and test performance throughout. Often as part of an overall portal effort client server applications are ported to a web-based portal architecture which might not allow the same speed in the user interface. It is important to understand the issues up front by testing.
• Architect maintainability into the portal framework, including trace logging, error notification and resolution and exception handling
• When architecting a portal framework, use proven components and frameworks to reduce risk and effort
