PhpFreeChat is a completely free chat. It can easily be embedded in your html code thanks to a customizable JQuery module. You will therefore be able to precisely personalize the chat according to your needs. Thanks to an active community, it will be possible for you to exchange about all the integration related technical specificities, whether it be about installation, use or customizing.
The server part of PhpFreeChat is coded in PHP. This language facilitate great compatibility with most web hosts, with good speed of execution. The RESTful architecture used offers a great modularisation: the chat code does not mix with your site's. The server part allows you to retain client data in order to use it afterwards, for instance, for statistical purposes.
The client part of PhpFreeChat is coded in Javascript and the JQuery library. It is a JQuery plugin which you can directly install in the HTML code of your website. This plugin then communicates with the server part thanks to AJAX requests. You have at your disposal 4 free themes and you can create your own, if you have CSS and/or LESS skills. Your chat will then fit closely to your graphical identity.
Finally, as the aim of the chat is to answer in the best way to your needs and expectations, and as all ideas are welcome, you will be able to contribute to the evolution of PhpFreeChat in every way, thanks to its github repository. Your donations will be greatly appreciated et will allow us to increase the development efficiency and pace, as we will be able to make available resources for the achievement of your ideas and suggestions.
