The purpose with this project is to evaluate which of today’s technologies for creating web applications is the most suitable to use when constructing web portals. From a great amount of different technologies, five of the most widespread and well known technologies have been chosen and closely examined on nine different web portal specific criteria. The result from this evaluation is a table where all the grades for each technology is displayed. With the help of this table, it is possible to get an idea about what technology is the most suitable to use when constructing a specific web portal. None of the evaluated technologies were better than the others on all criteria, which makes it impossible to select one technology that is the best in every respect. However, guidelines are presented for making an appropriate choice among the evaluated tehnologies.The purpose with this project is to evaluate which of today’s technologies for creating web applications is the most suitable to use when constructing web portals.
