Interactive graphical systems can be helpful and cool, but…

Computer beginners cannot deal with it

Normal users have to understand the interaction metaphor

Idea

A simple designed portal is simple to user

Easy understandable site-structure

Useful content, that can easily be accessed

But…

Looks boring and isn’t cool

Visual appealing isn’t attractive and so it does not motivate users to use it

Content and Portal are independent and doesn’t fit together
