Microsoft launches new Power Pages: An evolution of Power Apps Portals

What is Microsoft Power Pages?

One of the biggest announcements to come out of Microsoft Build was the launch of Power Pages; a low-code, scalable, and secure solution for creating, hosting, and administering modern external-facing business websites, that seamlessly work across web browsers and devices.

There are various Power Pages examples, such as employee feedback portals, resource hubs,  partner portals, public-facing websites, and much more.

Power Pages Example Uses

People can often think of low-code web development as being useful for basic projects like a site to showcase a company profile or to use as an e-commerce platform for other content. However, with Power Pages, there are so many more possibilities. Of course, you can use it for those examples previously listed, but you can take it further, for example:

• Community services: Reach and serve a significant volume of people at scale, providing community services such as self-service permitting, licensing, incident and outage reporting, and applying for grants
• FAQ sites: Provide answers to common questions about products, services, special events, policies, and procedures
• Customer self-service: Provide all-day customer self-services, such as warranty registration, returns, support inquiries, appointments, and bookings
• Partner support: Streamline business processes with partners, such as supplier onboarding, sustainability tracking, inquiry management, and vendor support

What’s the difference between Power Pages and Power Apps portals?

Power Pages is an evolution of Power Apps Portals. It is built on the Power Apps Portals platform, which is already used by thousands of businesses around the world today.

The rebrand of the tool brings new capabilities and experiences to users, enabling businesses to do more than ever.

Current customers of Power Apps portals don’t need to upgrade or migrate their running portals. Customers and partners who are building solutions on top of Power Apps portals shouldn’t stop or cancel their projects.
