The page a tap opens

Portal: the page a tap opens, at your name.departmnt.io

Every Portal opens from a tag and belongs to the artist, brand or venue that runs it. Branded, and yours: no app, no download, and no account before anything happens.

What a Portal is

The Page a Tap Opens

A Portal is your page in the browser, opened by a tag. It knows which tag was tapped, asks for consent once, and welcomes back the people who have joined. Four steps, on our own Portal.

Modules

Build One. Point a Tag at It.

The same models and modules as the Portal Design Studio. Start from a Portal we have built, change the modules, then choose tags and send the scope. We recommend a tier and, once the brief is in, an indicative cost.

Why it works

Built for the Moment, Kept for the Relationship

  • No app, ever

    A tap opens the page in the browser. Nothing to download, no account before anything happens.

  • Welcome back

    The second visit is not the first. People who have joined come back to their own page, with what they hold.

  • Built from modules

    Nineteen modules, from a music player to ticketing. Arrange them; no code.

  • A journey, not a page

    Discovery, sign up, feed and hub. Each screen shows what that moment needs.

  • Changed live

    Edit the Portal or point the tags somewhere new from Core, during the night if you need to.

  • Yours, on your address

    Your brand, your colours, at your name on departmnt.io, or your own domain on Label and above.

Questions

FAQs

Does anyone have to download an app?

No. A Portal is a web page, so it opens in the browser that is already on the phone. There is nothing to install, nothing to sign into before it opens, and nothing to update later.

What happens if someone has no tag?

The page still works. A tag is one way in and a link is another, so the same Portal can sit behind a poster, a story, an email or an object in someone’s hand. Hardware makes it a physical channel; it is not what makes it exist.

Can I change it after the tags are made?

Yes, and this is the part most people do not expect. What a tag opens is set in Core and changed over the air, so the object in the field is finished the day it ships and the page behind it never has to be.

Do I need a developer to build one?

No. A Portal is composed from a set of sections and a theme rather than written from scratch, which is what makes the second one fast and the twentieth one possible. If you want something the sections do not do, tell us and we will say whether it is close.

Is it really my brand, or is it yours?

Yours. You choose the theme, the corner radius, the colour and the mark, and our name does not appear on the page. What a visitor meets is your brand in your words, opened by an object you made.
