Sample Portal Pages

 

The Avitek Financial Sample Portal consists of the two pages; the Home page and the Web page. These portal pages contain all the portlets in the Sample Portal and are described in detail in the following sections:

• Home Page

  • Home Page—Visitor Not Logged In

  • Home Page—Visitor Logged In

• Web Page

  • Web Page—Visitor Not Logged In

  • Web Page—Visitor Logged In

Home Page

The contents of the Home page depend on whether a visitor is logged in and on the visitor's group membership. The following sections illustrate these differences.

Home Page—Visitor Not Logged In

The default Home page, shown in Figure 3-1, appears before a visitor logs in. The default Home page contains one portlet: Quick Links. The College Savings Account and Avitek IRA advertisements occupy ad placeholders. The content of these ad placeholders changes depending on which campaign is invoked. For a full discussion about the campaigns in the Sample Portal, see Campaigns and Portlets.
