Web
interactivity is the essential ingredient for a successful
Internet-based business, whether it is commercial, academic
or
social. It is imperative to know your customers' and
visitors'
opinion to gauge your site's success and identify future
online
strategies. Creating an online guest-book gives visitors to
your
site a user-friendly format to provide valuable feedback, at
the
same time reducing your efforts in collecting and recording
this
information.
WebGenie's Guestbook*Star lets you create a guest-book
and its CGI scripts with very little or no programming
experience.

Guestbook*Star is an easy-to-use Guestbook creator
