# Creating a portal

A **portal** is one public help site. Most businesses need one; create more when you run separate brands.

## Create the portal

1. Open **Help Center** in the sidebar. If you have no portal yet, click **Create Portal**; otherwise open the portal name at the top of the page and choose **Create new portal**.
2. Enter a **Name**, such as *Acme Help*, and a **Slug**, the short name used in the address, such as *acme*. The portal is then published at *chat.sapot.ai/hc/acme*.
3. Click **Create**.

The portal starts in English with no categories or articles. Add categories next, then write your first article.

## Make it look like your business

Open **Help Center → Settings** for the portal.

* **Logo**: shown in the portal header.
* **Name**: the portal's name inside the dashboard.
* **Header text**: the headline on the portal home page, for example *How can we help?*
* **Page title**: the title shown in the browser tab and in search results.
* **Home page link**: where the portal's logo links back to, usually your website.
* **Slug**: the address of the portal; the full link is shown underneath.
* **Live chat widget**: pick one of your website inboxes to show its chat bubble on every portal page, or **No widget**.
* **Brand color**: the colour of links and buttons.

Click **Save changes**. The rest of the page, custom domain, layout and deleting a portal, is covered in [Locales and portal settings](/help-center/locales-and-portal-settings).
