Our Top Ten Tips


  1. Keep it simple - the more complicated you make the portal, the harder it will be for your members to find their way about it and the more work it will be for you to maintain your content.
  2. Take full advantage of the Trial Account - to get to know the potential of SCP and make mistakes before it matters.
  3. Configure your Portal to fit the way you want to work, not the other way round. SCP has the flexibility you need.
  4. If you get stuck, ask for help - remember the Support Documentation, On-line Help, SCP Support Forum, and FAQs
  5. Be clear on what you aim to achieve with an SCP portal - write it down, tell members what to expect
  6. Decide on your Member Groups up-front - what will each one be for (keeping in mind Tip No. 1). You can always make changes later, but getting it right at the start saves re-work.
  7. Get others to help - assign a Administrators to help - as they say, many hands = light work, and builds team-working.
  8. Take care to post concise, interesting, useful content - writing for the web is different, people don't have the time to read long articles and patience in finding things.
  9. Commit to success - commit the time and energy to building your portal into an authoritative and comprehensive resource for your project.
  10. Support your Members - you might not feel yourself to be an expert, but you are; respond promptly to forum responses to build your portal community.
