Power Pages Development for Secure Customer and Partner Portals
Hammerhead Tech builds Microsoft Power Pages portals that let customers, partners, suppliers or residents deal with your organisation online. They can submit forms, upload documents, book appointments and track the progress of a case without phoning or emailing your team.
Because Power Pages reads and writes the same Dataverse data your staff use in Power Apps and Dynamics 365, there’s no separate website database to keep in sync. A form submitted on the portal appears straight away in the right team’s queue.
Portals are often the public face of a wider Power Platform solution, alongside internal Power Apps and automated workflows.
A Secure Front Door to Your Dataverse Data
Many organisations still collect information from outside through email attachments, PDF forms and phone calls, then re-key it into internal systems. That’s slow, error-prone and hard to audit.
With Power Pages, external users sign in securely and see only their own records. We configure authentication, web roles and table permissions so access is controlled down to individual rows, and design each journey so forms are quick to complete.
We handle the full build: site structure, branding to match your website, forms and lists, document upload, notifications through Power Automate, accessibility checks and go-live. Your team can then update content through the Power Pages design studio.
Power Pages Portals We Build
Power Pages suits any situation where people outside your organisation need to give or receive information securely.
Customer and Client Portals
Let customers raise requests, track orders or cases, download documents and update their details, cutting down calls and emails to your team.
Partner and Supplier Portals
Share referrals, compliance documents, onboarding steps and performance information with partners, contractors and suppliers in one controlled place.
Applications and Public Forms
Grant, funding, membership and service applications with multi-step forms, eligibility checks, document upload and status tracking.
Portals for Public Sector, Care and Membership Organisations
For councils and public bodies, Power Pages can support service requests, applications and provider portals that connect directly to case management in Dataverse. For care and fostering organisations, it can give carers, families or partner agencies secure access to the information they need.
For membership bodies and businesses, portals handle registrations, renewals, bookings and self-service account management, all linked to the same records your staff manage internally.
If your portal needs things Power Pages doesn’t do well, such as a very high-traffic public site or complex custom interactions, we can build a custom web application that connects to the same data. For marketing websites, see our website design services.
Why Choose Hammerhead Tech for Power Pages?
An external portal is part of your public reputation. It needs to be secure, accessible and easy to use, as well as connected to the systems behind it.
We bring both sides: Dataverse and Power Platform expertise for the data and security, and web design and development experience for the user experience.
Security by Design
Authentication, web roles and table permissions are planned up front, and we test that users can only see and change their own records.
Accessible and On-Brand
Portals are designed to match your website and built with accessibility in mind, with keyboard navigation, clear labels and readable layouts.
Connected to Your Processes
Submissions trigger Power Automate workflows, notifications and task allocation, so nothing sits unnoticed in an inbox.
Predictable Licensing
Power Pages is licensed by the number of authenticated and anonymous users each month. We’ll estimate the capacity you need so running costs are predictable.
Support After Launch
We monitor, maintain and improve portals after go-live, and can train your team to manage content themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Power Pages?
Power Pages is Microsoft’s platform for building secure, data-driven websites for external users. It’s part of Power Platform and stores data in Dataverse, so portal submissions connect directly to your internal apps and workflows.
How is Power Pages different from a normal website?
A normal website mainly publishes information. Power Pages lets signed-in users interact with your data, such as submitting forms, uploading documents and viewing their own records, with security controlled at the data level. Many organisations use both.
How do users sign in?
Users can sign in with a portal account, Microsoft Entra ID or external identity providers such as Google or Microsoft accounts. Staff at partner organisations can use their own work accounts.
Is Power Pages secure enough for sensitive data?
Yes, when it’s configured properly. Table permissions and web roles control exactly which records each user can see and change, and data is stored in Dataverse under Microsoft’s security controls. We test access rules thoroughly before launch.
How much does Power Pages cost?
Licensing is based on the number of authenticated and anonymous users per site each month. Build costs depend on the number of forms, integrations and user journeys. We’ll estimate both after an initial conversation.
Can Power Pages connect to Dynamics 365?
Yes. Power Pages uses Dataverse, the same data platform as Dynamics 365 customer engagement apps, so portals can show and update Dynamics records such as cases, contacts and accounts.
Can you replace our old Dynamics or Power Apps portal?
Yes. Power Pages replaced Power Apps portals, which were previously Dynamics 365 portals. We can upgrade or rebuild existing portals with better design, security and performance.
