The Lightweb "LightHouse" Portal Content Management System is a new, versatile tool for showcasing and networking the numerous and diverse businesses and community groups within a Region, a Corporate Intranet, or a Non-Profit web cluster. 

The Portal is made up of a main portal and any number of subportals, all which share similar functionality.  Each subportal is a completely separate website, each with the same advanced capabilities as the others. 

• Groups and organisations can build out an infinitely expandable content section to showcase their members abilities, upload and manage files, images and more.
  
• Members can buy and sell items on the noticeboard, submit and view local news and events, submit and apply for jobs, engage in online forums, or build their own minisites.
  
• They can even save their own favourites for future reference.
  
• And, most importantly, the search can seek across individual subportals or across the entire portal's network of websites, providing access to all the region's information at your fingertips.

What are the benefits of this portal for the Regional Development Oganisations, Community Groups, Non-Profit Clusters and Corporations? The Portal does the following:

• Grants easy access to relevant and timely local information provided by the community for the community
• Showcases the talent, resources, capabilities and wisdom of the community
• Allows community members to update their own materials
• Markets local businesses to visitors and the outside world
• Grants access to collaboration and community building tools for people to work together
• Offers flexible forums for groups or individuals to express themselves about what is going on in the area, in the future or in their particular group
• Markets the entire region to the world to attract new business and keep the area dynamic and vibrant
• Provides businesses with an increasing array of information to help them make decisions
• Gives community members an easy way to sell items, make notices, offer jobs and share information
• Self-regulates content so the websites remain relevant and dynamic
• Grows into a web of information that defines the very character of the community
