Drupal Questions & Answers Theme
Update: The Drupal Question & Answers theme is available
We are wrapping up the last few days of debugging our newest solution, the Questions & Answers Drupal theme. We are excited to release this theme because of the type of solution it will provide to customers. The concept came from Stack Overflow, a popular Q&A website that has attracted hundreds of thousands of users over the past few years. The benefit of such a Answers-type website solution is that it allows users to add content freely and quickly, building up more and more content for the website so that the popularity and rankings improve over a short period of time.
Google and other search engines are indexing the web extremely fast, with Twitter, blog posts, and newly added content being indexed within minutes after posting. Many Q&A websites, like Yahoo Answers or Stack Overflow, also do exceptionally well ranking for long-tail keywords. This means that, while they are not optimizing each page when added by users, the pages end up ranking well for 3, 4, 5, or more long keyword search phrases in search engines. I also don't know of many business owners that would not welcome the addition of hundreds or thousands of keyword-rich pages on their website, especially if the website owner is monetizing the content with ads or another revenue model.
The Questions & Answers theme is a great solution for practically any business wanting to take advantage of the above mentioned things. Whether it's business, finance, sports, technology/web, or even more niche related like a pet Q&A or shopping site, this solution will add value to any business model.
Some of the Question & Answers theme feaures include:
- 7 to 10 custom-built pages
- Integration of the Drupal Views module for user tags, user profiles, and questions display/sorting
- Blog section (other Q&A sites don't offer this)
- One-level threaded comments/replies for question pages
- Quick Answer/reply forms
- One-click Twitter posting for question pages
- and more...
Built on Drupal, we know this Q&A solution will be very solid, unlike other open-source Q&A clones built by one or a few people. The risk of hacking and other security risks are far less when using Drupal for a solution such as this.
We'll be updating this post once we're done with the Question & Answers theme. Please leave any questions or comments you have below. Thanks!
Great theme Idea
This theme is very attractive to the website visitor from an intuitive standpoint. I just stumbled across it and see it is an excellent medium for my real estate business. it just might be my next site.
When and how much?
Hello,
When will you finish this theme? Also i would like to know how much are you going to charge? And is it really going to be similar to Yahoo Answers? I mean rating system, choose best answer, registration etc. If so that would be great. I appreciate if you contact me through my e-mail or answer my questions here. Thanks, keep up good working.
Question Answers theme / module
Hi,
Thanks for the comment. The theme is complete (version 1.0). We will likely reduce the price from $139 to our standard $99 price.
The Q&A theme will have a rating system, registration, etc. but will not have "choose best answer" -- at least in version 1.0.
There will be tabbed browsing to view the users with the most points, i.e. the ones who have asked or answered the most questions. You can vote up/down user's answers to questions and this affects their overall points number.
If this theme becomes popular, we will add to it and customize more advanced options in each version.
Very nice
I love this idea. This looks very clean and attractive. If you get this ready, I would like to purchase it. Keep up the good work.
