A Content Management System, or CMS, supports the management, creation, publishing and distribution of your online business’ content. It also has the capability to format the appearance of the published pages, the structure of your website and the navigation that your website provides to visitors.

E-mail to discussion, a user-friendly feature in the WebBizIdeas Content Management System, enables website owners to implement forms on their websites and get the responses through e-mail. It is a moderated forum that is published by e-mail, and it functions very similar to many online forums, but it is edited and moderated more actively, and is circulated at least once a day in simple text format.

On your website, any given subject will have various topics up for discussion. Subscribers who want to take part in the discussion send their posts to the email to discussion list. The mediator, either the website owner or administrator, then gathers and arranges these posts into a coherent, edited and neat final discussion topic.

Forums and discussion boards have served various needs since their initiation. Some are purely basic tools for conversing with group members. In the online course environment, discussion forums are often an essential component for keeping your website visitors involved and interested in your site, and they also give visitors a reason to keep coming back and refer your site to their friends. WebBizIdeas has found that forums and discussion boards are great tools for collaborating on group projects, sharing discussions and finding out where a website stands in the view of its visitors.

A New Use

In a new twist on the discussion board, some online companies are using this type of board as a help desk, where people can go to ask questions on a product or service. For example, lots of websites that offer open source software (free software) for download offer a discussion board for users to interact with other members and ask questions about technical aspects of the software. Sometimes, the software’s creator will get on the board and field questions, or post answers to commonly-asked questions.

If your online business, like most online business, is short on resources, then consider implementing a discussion board with the help of the WebBizIdeas Content Management System. You’ll be letting your visitors help build pages on your site, and you may be able to generate a loyal base of customers to boot.
