[web content + usability]

Ladies and gentlemen, coming to you live from the Orbit Arena: the WWW Client-Conversion World Championship.

In our last issue of the Orbiter, we talked about the importance of conversion - the process of turning visitors into customers.

This month, we'll uncover the best tool for making that transition seamless by pitting the E-Mail Link against the Contact Form in the ultimate face-off.

A 7-Round Showdown: Forms vs. Links

In the red corner, the former featherweight junior runner-up: the E-Mail Link.

In the blue corner, the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world: the Contact Form.

"A customer is the most important visitor on our premises.
    "He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption of our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider to our business. He is part of it.
    "We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us the opportunity to do so."


- Mahatma Gandhi
