Creating interactive web solutions

Most website owners will agree on one thing. Everyone wants more traffic. Interactive features on websites allows visitors to stay on your site longer, whilst returning more often to participate in some of the features and interactive tools on the site. Visitors to your website reach the site because of the information you provide. Top websites globally incorporate various interactive tools and features that allows visitors to ”communicate” with the content provided. A quick scan on websites like SKY NEWS illustrates the effective use of interactive features to build up and maintain an interactive sites. The comments system allows all visitors to have an opinion on all posted news items.

Comments aren’t the exclusive feature of interactive websites. It is merely an example. The list is endless and can incorporate games, web tools, newsletters, advertisements, quizzes, polls and many other features. WordPress makes adding and editing these features both easy and quick.

Choosing Interactive Features

This is propably the most complicated aspect that you would have to address whilst considering interactive features. Having a remit for interactive features doesn’t give you a solution. It is merely a challenge at this stage. What features do you want? How should it work? How much management of these features do you want to do? Have you seen a similar feature on another site? Is there similar features which you haven’t considered yet? What are the costs involved? Can my hosting package accomodate this feature?

Choosing relative features for your web domain will remain the core challenge. Implementing these features are the easier part. WordPress as a script is an open source development. Different to companies like Microsoft, open source allows anyone to access the source code of a product, and make changes as they deem necessary. These changes within WordPress has not always been placed as a part of the core code. It has given way to the creation of plugins. A plugin basically ”plugs in” to the original WordPress script to add a specific function. Whatever interactive feature you choose, someone would have considered that in the past, and chances are, there wil be a number of plugins available giving you the exact solution you are looking for. And the best aspect is that most of the plugins are also open source. Should the function of the plugin not provide the 100% requirement, it can alwasy be changed using the existing code, and adding or deleting or modding, just as you require.
