Utopia’s Portal site type optimizes for find, filter, and browse. A search bar and category tags sit directly under the header, followed by card-based listings — perfect for real estate, jobs, stores, document libraries, or product catalogs with many items.
See how it differs from Media and Blog in the live demo hub Portal preview.
