Top 10 Mistakes - Portal Design
Design by committee
Transfer paper media language to web
Priority to the complex and not the simple
Select a single, “do-everything” portal product
Forget a portal is just a web page
Give all functions equal exposure
Priority to branding and not usability
Wait for customers to tell you what they need
Make users hunt and click when they want to scan
Delay upgrades because of scope creep
