A guided brief, not a blank page
A handful of friendly questions — what the site is for, the look you like, the sections you want — instead of an empty box and a blinking cursor.
Features
Everything a small website needs.
None of the admin.
You describe the place, we build the page and keep it on the internet. Here is what that covers — and the handful of things it deliberately doesn’t.
Making it
From a few sentences to a finished site
Written in your language
Choose it once when you set the site up. Every later change keeps it, even when you describe what you want in a different one.
Built, then tidied up
You get real pages, not one enormous file: proper headings, sensible colours and a layout that holds together on a phone as well as a laptop.
Change it by asking
“Add our Sunday hours.” “Make the headline shorter.” Only the thing you asked about moves; the rest of the page is left exactly as it was.
An hour to change your mind
Not what you meant? Put the previous version straight back with one click, for an hour after every change. Nothing is regenerated and nothing is charged.
Every version kept
Your history lists each change and what it was for. And if a change ever fails, the site that is already live simply carries on — visitors never see it.
Publishing it
Online the moment it exists
There is no upload step, no hosting to buy and no control panel to learn. The site is already on the internet when you first see it.
Your own web address
Free with every site: yourname.web.portalora.com, working the second the build finishes and yours to share.
The padlock, automatically
The security certificate is arranged, installed and renewed without you knowing it happened. There is no date in your calendar for it.
Your own domain Plus
Point yourshop.com at your site by following a two-line instruction, and the padlock follows it across. One domain per site.
Your own pictures Plus
Upload straight from your phone. We resize them, tidy them and quietly remove the location stamp your camera left in the file.
Pages that arrive instantly
Every file is sent already compressed, and the page behind a link is fetched before it is clicked — so the next page is usually there before the tap lands.
Even the wrong turns look right
A mistyped address lands on a 404 page in your own design, and your site gets a favicon in your own colours for the browser tab.
Looked after
Details you’d never think to ask for
The unglamorous half of a good website. None of it is a setting you have to find.
On the page
- The same header, nav and footer on every page — enforced, not hoped for
- Clean addresses:
yoursite.com/about, never/about.html - The current page marked in the nav, so visitors know where they are
- Readable on a phone, a laptop and an eight-year-old tablet
Behind it
- Nothing to update — no plugins, no themes, no security patches
- Signing in needs a fresh code from your email, every time
- Your pages are files, not software, so there is nothing on them to break into
- Backups and renewals are our problem, not a task on your list
Being straight with you
And what it isn’t
Better to know now than after an afternoon of trying.
- Not a webshop. No baskets, no checkout, no card payments. You can list what you sell and invite people to call, visit or email.
- Not a booking system. No calendars or appointment slots — though a button that opens your phone or your inbox works beautifully.
- Not a daily-posting blog. You can add a page whenever you like by asking for it; there is no editor to log into every morning.
- Not somewhere customers log in. Your site has no accounts, which is exactly why it has nothing to leak.
If your website is mainly there to tell people who you are, where you are and why to get in touch — that is precisely the website this makes.
Easier to see than to read about
Describe your business in a few sentences and look at the result. It costs nothing.
