Why a portal to more portals?
   The internet is a great place, but it is HUGE.  It's bigger than you can shake a stick at, and everybody at one time or another has suffered from information overload.  PortalHQ.com was created to help you solve the problem.

   Portals are like the front page of a great newspaper or magazine.  The internet has dozens of these and limiting yourself to just one newspaper is silly when many are available.  PortalHQ is a step above all the other portals.  It allows you to pick the newspaper you want most, wether it is Yahoo, Excite, or DejaNews.  You can follow your whim of the hour.  You can choose your favorite search engine, download area, stock info, and more!  We don't limit you to one portal mega-company - we give you all of them!

   Make us your Browser Home/Start page for just a couple of days.  You'll see how great it actually is!  You've got the best of ALL worlds!  If you don't like us, change it back, but we're sure you'll see how useful this "root directory of the web" is!

Based On a Simple Premise - Our Design Philosophy
PortalHQ.com is based on a few simple ideas:
  • Very few people use just one portal
  • "Full-Service" portals are getting way too big, and end up "carpet bombing" you with tons of information. Plus, they take forever to load.
  • A browser Start/Default page, shouldn't be like the frontpage of a newspaper, it should be like an organized book shelf, showing you many options.
  • Most users know what they want, and what they want changes constantly.
  • A useful site doesn't need tons of active elements and bandwidth-hogging graphics.  A browser Start/Default page shouldn't take longer to load than the entire browser!  PortalHQ is compact and quick loading.
  • No Frames! WooHoo!
  • A great portal should be an "unsticky" site.  We don't try to hold you on our site and we don't open external pages in frames.  We just want to provide you with the BEST starting point...  Less revenue for us, but more useful for you!
  • We incorporate popular and useful sites.  Are we missing a portal that you like?  Let us know, and we'll add it!
