Many organisations face mounting challenges, such as ageing infrastructure, due to rising digital expectations. This creates immense pressure on businesses to optimise resources and enhance service delivery. As a result, many organisations have turned to Microsoft’s Power Platform to generate better value with proactive insights, build agile business processes, and enable always-on services, allowing them to do more and be efficient.
Microsoft Power Pages—the successor of Microsoft Power Apps Portals and the fifth product in the Microsoft Power Platform family—has emerged as a revolutionary tool in web development. It provides users, regardless of their technical background, with the capability to create sophisticated, secure, and dynamic websites with minimal coding expertise. Integrating seamlessly with other components of the Microsoft Power Platform, Power Pages empowers businesses to build engaging web experiences quickly and efficiently.
Introducing Microsoft Power Pages
For years, Power Apps portals have been the go-to solution for crafting external portals quickly and confidently and customising them with pages, layouts, and content. As a new standalone product, Power Pages empowers individuals with an effective platform to create data-powered, modern, and secure websites and portals regardless of their technical background.
In addition to being low-code, Power Pages extend far beyond portals’ former capabilities to enable organisations of any size to securely build websites with exciting features and advanced customisation capabilities with pro-developer extensibility while maintaining top-tier security. As part of the world’s most comprehensive low-code development platform, anyone can now streamline business processes and easily automate workflows, resulting in a unified and convenient end-to-end business solution for any organisation.
Features and Capabilities
Power Pages Design Studio makes designing, styling, configuring, and publishing modern business portals and websites easy. It allows users to either start from scratch or utilise one of the ready-to-use templates to design pages with text, video, images, business data forms and lists, and more. Its Templates Hub hosts full-featured websites with demo data, enabling quick management of scheduling, registration, application submission, and more.
Power Pages allows users to securely collect and share business information with site visitors using Microsoft Dataverse, an innovative, secure, and scalable low-code data platform. Built on Microsoft Azure, Power Pages integrates with Dataverse to offer critical security features, including advanced encryption, rich role-based access controls (RBAC), and other web application firewalls. These capabilities address top web security vulnerabilities and ensure data is always safe.
With Visual Studio Code, Power Pages offers users the ability to code advanced capabilities using Java Script, code components, and web APIs. These powerful tools enable professional developers to securely interact with underlying business data and implement custom business logic.
AI-powered Power Pages
With the advancements of next-generation AI, the Copilot features revolutionise the creation and development of business portals, transforming the interaction of users with sites built on Power Pages. Copilot simplifies creating forms, incorporating text, embedding chatbots, and more, all through a user-friendly, conversational interface that eliminates the need for extensive coding expertise. Additionally, Copilot elevates the user experience by replacing traditional click-based navigation with dynamic, conversational interactions, enabling site users and visitors to discover information and insights seamlessly.
