The full re-engineering of the product was based on the possibilities offered by GeneXus Evolution 1. In this sense, GXportal 5.0 represents an ongoing development of sites, with enhanced experience in regards to building and maintenance, which turns it quite user-friendly.
The novel version presents an interface oriented at usability. This becomes evident in the form of new functionalities like drag and drop which contribute to the development of a more visual task (page composition by dragging components) and the use of AJAX technology (providing automatic changes upon modified properties, by refreshing only what is necessary). Both features allow for much greater achievements with fewer clicks.
Focusing on SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is also a strength of GXportal 5.0. Contents, as well as pages developed with this new version will be better positioned in browsers like Google, Yahoo, etc. This is possible due to one new feature: Friendly URLS, which, in the end will allow the site a better ranking in browsers.
