Accepting User Input on Your Website
Web 1.0 was noninteractive and primarily relayed information. Web 2.0 introduced more interaction between website and visitor. A website may have any number of interactive elements, each designed to engage visitors so they will return to a site. Having interactive elements is a great addition to a site, but they may introduce security considerations including phishing, bullying, and cyberstalking.
Despite the risks, today’s corporate sites provide various forms of user input including forums, surveys, feedback forms, and email. Each of these input mechanisms is designed to increase interactivity and communication to visitors.
