What means interactive website? It is the site which provides the best interaction between site owner and audience and allows intermutual information exchange. Interactive sites play important role for the companies in maintenance of regular relationship with clients who can come across with the facts useful for improvement of services, production quality, and other sides of company work.

Neither functionality nor information value can be fully realized without interactivity.
Only if your site is based on the system of positive relationship with your visitors it gets additional competitive advantages.

There are number of different options providing full-fledged interaction. Voting feature allows finding out opinion of site audience regarding particular issue when it is necessary, guestbook provides broader feedback, allowing customers asking questions and taking opinions. Guestbook is a good place for visitors to make suggestions concerning your site or your products/services.

There is also specific kind of instruments providing interactive communication between site owner and audience. Let’s presume you have an internet shop and want to give consultations to your customers in real time. Or you develop sites and need to provide on-line customers support.

Not long ago was created a tool for interactive communication, it looks like a little chat and can be placed directly at the website page. That kind of chat allows on-line communication without necessity of quitting your site and entering another internet zone. The feature belongs to the group of remotely hosted services and can be added to site by copying a line of html code generated by service provider. Service is usually provided for free, see for example votingserver.com

Another kind of objectives is related with situation when you need to get the information across to your audience in the shortest possible time. Here are several ways.

The first is news line. In corporate site the most dynamic and readable part of your site will be news. You can publish your press releases, staff changes, vacancies, business proposals, announcements of cut in prices and marketing campaigns. You can also announce new products and services, write analytical articles and internet review on your topic.
Even if you own small personal site news line may be useful to keep it alive and inform your visitors about important events. News line can be installed remotely.

Second, in some situations you may need to be sure that all your visitors will see information that you want to get across to them. Not all people read company news and if your announcement is really important and burning it’s better to use the tool, called Splash box. Splash box is a window displayed above the shaded content of the page when visitor enters the site, the window remains active until it is closed either after a predefined period or manually.

One more tool for interactive and urgent informing site visitors – is pop up windows. They traditionally used mainly for ads. Although everybody hates them, pop up windows can be effectively implemented providing they are not too intrusive and irritating.

All the mentioned tools can be remotely hosted (that means that you don’t need to install them to your site just easily add) and are available at www.votingserver.com (For FREE)
