Why do you need helpdesk/support on your website
What will you loose if you dont have helpdesk available
The fact that Internet marketing gurus have support desks on their sites should be a good enough reason for you to have one too.

Having a support system on your site can make you look more professional.
Problems of emails : With support desk 90% of your questions are answered automatically and the rest can be taken care by you. With the problems of spam blockers there are chances that your support email might not even go through. So this is one more reason why you need to give online support through your website.
Your repeat customers will increase : It’s a known fact that it is easier to sell to a satisfied customer than to acquire a new one.
Saves time : How many times do you have to copy paste or type in the whole answer again. Why not just provide it once in your support desk ?

On your site a user can:

Reopen or close ticket according to the user’s choice.
