Recommendations for a good FAQ system

[TrevorJones]

Hi I am looking for an FAQ system that is seo friendly, naturally , so wondered what other people use or would recommend for a website that's isn't using a cms like wordpress etc.

Basically looking to add the question as the title and the answer as the page content to get the pages indexed.

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you want a way to add content to your site where you use a web based form to input the title (question) and body (answer) and then have them linked together in a sort of index. Possibly with extra things like "related questions".

If all that is true, then what you're asking for is a CMS.

The quick and dirty non-cms way is to create a template for your FAQ questions and use it whenever you want to add a new question to your list. If that's too hands-on with html, a modified WP installation in a folder named /faq may be what you need.

Hi Ryan

Thanks for your reply.

Just been looking at knowledgebase-script which seems to offer all that is required as the client is looking for a 'ready to go' kind of solution rather than add on cms like wp - which would be cheaper but require more work to set up.

Any experience with this or similar packages?

Thanks again for taking the time to reply, it's appreciated.

Some simple php would help you. I've been using zend framework. Great for building simple things... and more complex as well

Hi Ennovation Thanks I'll take a look at zend.

I used it for the q&a section - see here   and worked great.. Just to know I'm a designer not a programmer... Just know the basics of PHP ...

I'm sorry to say I don't know anything about that script. My point was that from the code point of view, a question is like any other content and so a CMS should be able to handle what you're after.

Unfortunately I don't know of any out of the box FAQ scripts. Best of luck, and if you find the killer solution be sure to let us know

Hi Ennovation Thanks for link - site looks nice. I will chat with my client and see if that could be a better option for them. Thanks again. Trevor

Trevor, I just found this site the other day and I thought of this question. Perhaps this service can help you?

http://faqme.com

faqme.com works by directing your site's traffic to their site. I would classify their service as being SEO unfriendly. You are taking your users away from your site.

Hi Ryan (x2)

Looked at that faqme system and thanks for the tip but would have to agree that faqme looks very seo unfriendly.

We've found a couple which we're looking at and I will update with the 'chosen one' soon.

Thanks again guys for your help.
