A lot of Nigerians call themselves bloggers whereas they are just news reporters like punch and co lol, bloggers write out opinions and not steal information from other website.

Web Portal

A web portal is a specially designed website that brings information from diverse sources, like emails, online forums and search engines, together in a uniform way.

Web portals can be internal websites for organizations like schools, or for big businesses

Example of a web portal are Yahoo, MSN, nysc and university school portal

News or magazine

News and magazine websites need little explanation The primary purpose of a news website is to keep its readers up to date on current affairs, The same can be true of an online magazine website, to some extent, although there is much more of a focus on entertainment examples are some nigeria blogs if you know you write on news and the story is not from you, you are under this category , punch, moneyreport, sahara reporters, legit and pulse let me add techpoint and techcabal this two are really helping us


Portfolio Website

Portfolio websites are sites devoted to showing examples of past work. Service providers who want to show potential clients the quality of the work they provide can use a portfolio website to collect some of the best samples of past work they’ve done. This type of website is simpler to build than a business website and more focused on a particular task: collecting work samples

examples are web design companies etc


Social Media

Social media websites are pretty unique in terms of both functionality and content. Social media sites were created as a place to share thoughts, images and ideas, and are increasingly become the go-to destination for people to read up about things like the news examples is the defunct lagbook, this guys were brilliant , facebook,twitter and linkedln


Real Estate Portal

The term “Real Estate portals” is just a fancier way of referring to real estate websites, Many realtors and property management specialists now own their own websites because they realize the value of these sites when it comes to generating leads, bringing in prospective tenants and buyers, and closing deals for them

examples are goke awolowo and co, brick makers nigeria, brooks assets and resources
