Dutch term or phrase: For Belgian French: Do we best use 'tu' or 'vous'?
We are setting up a new Belgian website, and we were discussing on how to talk to our readers: do we use 'tu' or 'vous'? It concerns a website for a weight-loss programme, well-known all over the world. Website purely e-commerce.

What is your opinion?

Kind regards
