Why AskPert™?

If you're in the business of providing answers to people, then AskPert is the perfect solution for you to provide those answers and accept payments from the people asking the questions.

If you've ever searched the web for an answer before, you'll probably end up with multiple sources that never give you the complete answer. People on the discussion boards end up being rude, give partial answers without links or examples, or just don't answer your question at all. Don't you wish that there was a definitive source that you could go to for a nicely researched answer?

Google Answers™ is an excellent resource, but what about the knowledge you have in your head? AskPert makes it possible to setup your own answers service where you can charge customers for answering the questions. Practically any person who has to frequently answer questions about their area of expertise can benefit from AskPert.

AskPert Handles Existing Support Departments

If you have a support department that relies on emails or other manual methods of tracking the numerous requests that arrive each day, AskPert can be used to quickly bring some order.

Setup categories that mirror your support sub-departments to provide free or paid answers. Its a great way to recoup some of the money you spend running your support department.

Easily Customizable

Because AskPert cleanly separates code from content, it will fit right into any site when you just edit the templates. And if your customers don't speak English, we've made it easy for you to translate the text in AskPert by editing a single file.

In addition, AskPert comes with complete source code and is written in Object Oriented PHP (it works with PHP 4 and PHP 5), so you can customize the source code for your own internal purposes. See the complete requirements for the system in the documentation.

Looking for that missing feature? We offer customization and installation services. If you don't have hosting setup, we will be glad to offer hosting services for you.
