Web Watch: Anxiety-Free Interaction
The Web site for the Anxiety Disorders Association of America is doing a solidly good job offering online interactivity without an enormous financial investment. It does this by using third-party plug-in applications essentially to support its static Web site. For instance, www.givedirect.org processes online donations securely, while different features are powered by other tools. Using these third parties is a cost-effective alternative to more robust back-end application service providers (ASPs) like Convio or Kintera. (More on those in a moment.)
