The following is a paid review and is completely of my own opinion and is not influenced by being paid. If you’re interested in having me review your site or product, please view my advertising page.

Usually when I am asked to review something its either related to design, content or something of that nature. However this time around we are going to take a look at the new HESK Support Script that is availible for free on Hesk.com. Just click the Download link on that page and you will begin downloading the script. Its fairly easy to install if you read the included instructions but if you have any questions just hit me with a comment or email and I can help you get it working.

This help desk software script has a lot of great features for a free script and today we are going to look at a few of them, however we are mainly going to focus on how it can help your blogging since this is after all what we all love to talk about am I right?

Design & Functionality

As I said before this script offers a lot of features for a free script, the first thing I want to point out however is how great this script looks out of the box, here are some demo screenshots to highlight what I am talking about.

As you can see its very clean and easy to see from the user side, usually these are very complicated looking and newb internet users wouldn’t know what to click on. This script makes it way easier by just having two nice sized buttons for Submitting a ticket and viewing an existing ticket they already opened A+ on that one!

Its not a very complicated help desk software design but simplicity is bliss!

Now on the other hand what about the admin side of thing, does it compare to other scripts and what about the actual admin panel, is it easy to navigate to and answer the support tickets as they come in?

Why don’t you decide? Here is a screen-shot.

I don’t know about you but from first glance of this admin panel it looks very simple to use don’t you think? This is another plus, see so many people start to use scripts but they really cant understand what they are doing so they end up making tons of mistakes and of course costing yourself and customers valuable time.

This scripts admin panel is so simple and easy to use I almost wish I could invent something like it for wordpress and vbulletin so newb users could get their sites going quicker!

How Can We Use This For Blogging?

All of this is great but it raises the question “how can we use this script in our blogging?”.

To be honest I don’t know if anyone has ever covered this before but here is my thoughts on it. When blogging you will most likely at some point and time sell a product, offer a service or if you just want to answer general questions from your readers. This is when a help desk software will come in hany because scripts like this can be used to tie the not and keep you organized. If you want you can even set this script up with ease for dept like products, advertisements, general inquiries and so on. This script has the potential to replace an email client or program on your computer that way you can access all customer and user concerns on the fly from any cell-phone or laptop with internet connection.

Don’t you just love the web 2.0 way guys?

So once again, if you think you can make good use of this script or if you already using it and want to share your thoughts just comment below, we would love to hear what you have to say on the subject!

Overall Score 8/10
