Abstract	The complexity of modern web information systems is steadily increasing; the provision of platform where the flow of information may be easily managed and controlled by actors (creators, editors and reviewers of content) and where additional techniques may improve collaboration and online information sharing is a key requirement for modern web system. The paper describes the design and implementation of a web information system for the INAF research institution that, in the same multi-tiered framework that keeps content, presentation and logic separate, joins both the requirement of a flexible and multiuser publication tool for web actors and users demand on additional services. The software solution adopted is mainly based on Plone open source software, an application of the Zope web application server that, together with others products, allows to create an integrated environment where information process is highly supported. We describe specifically the membership and workflow systems of the framework that help to design the system information flow and control the quality of information given to site visitors. Furthermore we analyze the techniques used to provide additional services (i.e. news and searching systems, web feeds) that, added to satisfy user needs, may enhance every portal.
