Make your website a destination with community features by Develisys. We can create an online community for your customers as well as help your organization communicate and collaborate more effectively.

.:Discussion Forums

Now you can bring your customers together by forming an online community around your website and brand. While your customers will likely share many similar interests, the one thing they all have in common will be you! Every time they visit the discussion forums they will be visiting your website and seeing your logo, ultimately connecting them closer to your business. This also offers the oppurtunity to advertise and market to these customers via banner ads and e-mail newsletters at no cost to you. Providing an online community for your customers will increase brand loyalty, provide unique insight into the minds of your customers, offer another avenue of customer service and support, and drive traffic to your website.

Discussion forums are also an invaluable addition to a company intranet or extranet, because they allow your organization to communicate and collaborate more effectively. Managers can also have their own private discussion forum. For more information on intranets and extranets, please see our e-business solutions.

.:Galleries

With the explosion of digital photography, customers are anxious to share photos with the community such as pictures of themselves, their use of your products, or countless other things. The result is more fun and a better experiece for your users that is sure to drive more traffic to your website.

.:Polls & Surveys

Given a chance, most people like to voice their opinion on all sorts of topics. Given interesting and timely questions, visitors will respond time and time again, keeping your website fresh and exciting as well as providing you with useful information. Polls also make a great addition to discussion forums. With surveys, a contest or promotion is often used to entice your visitors to fill them out.
