Web Discussion Forums
- getting your clients talking

Creating a part of your site where customers and clients can have their say, discuss topics and ask you questions has instant benefits. A forum containing visitors' comments on any subject you, or they, choose means instant feedback, a gauge of client reaction and immediate market research.

The larger your forum becomes, the more visitors you're likely to get from people using search engines

A discussion forum creates a sense of community where news, information and reviews are shared. And it becomes a pool of knowledge for your clients as questions - and answers - are published.

The other advantage is that the text in these forums is picked up by search engines; the larger your forum becomes, the more visitors you're likely to get from people using search engines.

The forum Chameleon can create for your website offers a range of features including:

• Unlimited forums, posts, and members - it's big enough to cope with any amount of traffic
• WYSIWYG RTE Post Editor - whatever a visitor writes will be seen on your site
