Picture this....You have taken a lot of time to put together a crucial new page on your website. You may well have worked hard on the text, selected images with great care....done everything you can to try and connect with your online audience.

Once it's gone live do you then feel in the dark as to how people are responding to your hard-crafted page and resign yourself to having to live with a technological barrier between you and the hearts and minds you want to reach out to?

What about Google Analytics and all the other statistical tools? you might ask. Well good and useful as these are in the 'numbers game' wouldn't it be so nice if people simply responded with the equivalent of a little note saying what they thought of your page

Well, recently we've been addressing this need for a client and homed in on an impressive 'comment' component for Joomla! called Akocomment which we are now happy to recommend. With Akocomment, any site visitor can simply type what ever they like in response to the page, you are then notified by email and following a quick review by you it gets added neatly at the end of the page. Ease of use by the site visitor is the key thing ...no logging in...no having to learn how to use a bulletin board etc. What's more, as extra comments come along, these are listed on the page so there's the potential to get a good old discussion going.

And if you are wondering what happens when someone writes something inappropriate or tries to 'spam' your site, Akocomment has all this covered too.

Just another example of how we at Bathcomms can help folks, what ever their online business, to get closer to the people that matter to them.
