A toolkit, not a stock portal

Structure visual, logic in code, all of it secure.

Content and structures are built visually in the browser, with preview and versions. Where business logic gets demanding, the workflow engine takes over — or you add customer-specific JavaScript code in an isolated sandbox.

The result: a portal that looks and works the way your organisation needs it, without having to build it from scratch.

Highlights

Four traits that make a portal.

Free in design, fixed in logic, open for every kind of access.

01

Low-code with full depth

Model pages visually, map workflows, link fields. Where it gets tight, a JavaScript sandbox adds customer-specific logic without leaving the secure frame.

02

Free in the customer's CI/CD

Layout, typography, colours and imagery freely designable. The portal carries your brand, not ours. Your own domain, your own certificate, no visible trace of the platform.

Use cases

One portal, many tasks.

The same platform carries very different needs — from application via registration to consultation. You model the case, we provide the frame.

01
Application intake

Funding, permits, allowances — with guided capture and evidence submission.

02
Assessments & reports

Assessments, opinions, reports — with structured input and four-eye principle.

03
Event registration

Events, conferences, workshops — with seats, waitlist and confirmations.

04
Feedback on draft contracts

Consultations and statements on draft contracts — section by section.

05
Service offerings

Advertise and book consultations, rooms or services — in real time.

06
Your own use cases

Freely extendable, modelled together with you, without platform limits.

All capabilities

The platform beneath your portal.

More than two dozen capabilities, grouped into four areas — all part of one platform service, nothing is a plug-in.

Structure & design

A low-code platform with arbitrary page structure, in your organisation's corporate design.

Arbitrary page structure

Freely modellable hierarchy of areas, pages and components, without a fixed schema.

Fully in your CI/CD

Layout, typography, colours and imagery freely designable, exactly to your corporate design.

Own domain

Run under your domain, with your own certificate, without visible platform traces.

Multilingual

Any number of languages — per content, region or audience — maintainable in parallel.

Component library

Fields, lists, cards, accordions, alerts, charts — pre-built and styleable.

Preview & versions

Review changes before publishing — trace every version in an audit-proof way.

Logic & code

Workflows, validation and customer-specific code — without leaving the secure frame.

Workflow engine

Model complex business logic visually, with states, branches and escalations.

JavaScript sandbox

Customer-specific code in an isolated sandbox, separate from platform and other tenants.

Validation rules

Field level, form level, process level — rules in plain language or in code, as needed.

Actions & triggers

React to events, enrich data, kick off external systems — all from the portal.

Reusable building blocks

Define your own steps, fields and actions once, reuse them in any portal.

Test & stage environment

Try changes on a stage first, then take them live, without risk to users.

Access, rights & security

Fine-grained control over who sees, does and receives what — per person and per purpose.

Roles & policies

Arbitrary fine-grained permissions, configured per customer, per area, page and field.

Single sign-on

Connect to SAML, OIDC and common IdPs, plus a second factor for sensitive operations.

Self-registration

Optional sign-up with verification, depending on the use case with approval by case workers.

Email notifications

Personalised emails from templates, multilingual, with secure deep links into the portal.

Secure channel

Confidential communication between portal users and the organisation, encrypted end to end.

Audit & traceability

Every access, every change, every message — fully logged and analysable.

Reach & standards

So every person can use the portal — on every device, in every situation.

Responsive design

One implementation for desktops, tablets and smartphones — no separate app, no double maintenance.

Accessibility AAA

WCAG up to level AAA — screen readers, keyboard control, contrast modes, plain language.

Performance

Fast on slow connections — light pages, predictive navigation, no tracker payload.

SEO & open data

Clean URLs, structured data, optional open interfaces for directories and search.

Data protection

No tracking, no third-party services — everything in Swiss data centres, FADP- and GDPR-compliant.

Print & PDF

Receipts, confirmations and excerpts cleanly printable or as PDF — automatically from the portal.
