Alternative products to suit specific requirements
The variations on the product include a multi-location consultation website, which is a very cost effective tool for developers running more than one consultation and the mini consultation website – a slimmed-down version for developers of small schemes.

Additionally, a CommunitiesOnline website is an adapted consultation website (or can be put in place as a new website if you don’t have a consultation website in place) which enables the development team to continue to communicate effectively with local residents during construction.
