We are a small catering business and I have been asked to add a DB to our
site where a visitor can leave feedback on our company which could then be
pulled up by other visitors to read.
I have only average Web design skills and used FP 2003 to design our site.
The site is hosted on a Windows 2000 Server which does allow DB's (Access
and others).
Is this something that can be done easily by me using the built-in Wizards
(which I know nothing about yet) or will it require an outside programmer?
I'm worried that if this function requires identification of some kind to be
given by a visitor they might not do it. Should our company require either a
password, Username, Log-In (or something else) before allowing a visitor to
leave feedback? If it does, I'm not sure anyone would go to the trouble.
What if someone "blasts" us? If they did what could we do? I'm sure it could
be edited or deleted but doubt the head of our company would even allow
that. He is a very honest man and would probably say, "Just take our lumps
with the good".We try very hard to satisfy all of our customers, but with
some it's impossible, and I don't want something negative left for the world
to see!
Now that I've written this out, I'm not sure this is a good idea at all. Has
anyone else ever done this for a very small business and if so, were the
results positive or negative? I would really appreciate any comments!
