Microsoft launched Power Apps Portals in 2019, a solution that allows companies top safely share their databases with external users and improve data access. Now, Microsoft is presenting the next level of this technology: Microsoft Power Pages, the newest member of the Microsoft Power Platform family.
What is Microsoft Power Pages?
Microsoft Power Pages is a low-code website development tool that lets businesses easily make secure, scalable, and user-friendly websites, with less coding. Its older version, Power Apps Portals, was good for data-driven business web applications, but it had some problems. It was not mature enough, had limited low-code features, and was hard to scale up. So, Microsoft replaced Power Apps Portals with the better and more flexible Microsoft Power Pages.
What Sets Power Pages Apart?
Power Pages stands out by using a powerful hosting platform. Microsoft has learned from working with different organizations, who need solutions that can scale up, be reliable, and give them control, especially for their external platforms with their brand. So, Power Pages gives enterprise-level features for making websites, like easy scalability, high availability, and features for authentication, authorization, and platform security.
Empowering Users with the Low-Code Maker Experience
Power Pages offers a low-code creation experience, which consists of the Power Pages Maker Studio, a Templates Hub, and advanced data design and presentation tools. Users can reach it through the unique URL make.powerpages.microsoft.com, where the Power Pages Home Screen provides a comparable setting to the Power Apps Platform. This allows users to manage their work environment conveniently, with a seamless transition for existing Portals in the environment.
Microsoft Power Pages Learn Hub
Microsoft has launched the Power Pages Learn Hub, a one-stop shop for learning resources that are integrated with the Power Platform. This simplifies the learning process, offering a rich collection of Power Pages-related content within the platform itself. With links to Microsoft Docs for more details, users can say goodbye to endless searches for useful content and start a more effective and enjoyable learning experience.
Microsoft Power Pages Templates Hub
The Power Pages Templates Hub offers users many choices of user interface and useful templates, like the Power Apps template library but for Power Pages. Microsoft wants to grow this hub into a large collection, using community feedback to focus on desired use-cases.
