conference on UK web and internet development

Statement of Policy

Our prime aim is to assist in the spread of communication between UK business and residents via the World Wide Web.

  • New and small businesses in particular will be supported in their efforts to make effective use of a growing medium. Competing without a viable website in the 21st century is a handicap.
  • Consumers searching for goods or services can be presented with wider choice, information and contact details. This allows them to save time, compare value options and increases the likelihood of spending within the UK economy.
  • Apart from benefitting both parties, a strong web economy makes the UK attractive to new, or incoming businesses. Both are essential to sustain a sound social and business environment.

Working Methods

As an organisation working in an ever changing field, we have a responsibility to understand that change and react accordingly. The principles underlying our support should however remain consistent.

  • The provision of free advice, or at reasonable cost, technical support and mediation to help resolve website related disputes.
  • Transfer of knowledge and encouragement for all parties to understand the opportunities to move forward, end disagreement.
  • Helping ensure professional website design or development organisations provide real and ongoing value to their clients.
  • Encouraging these specialists to work by methods which are beneficial to clients, to their own business and the wider economy.

The Website Report Service does not itself provide services beyond those mentioned on this site, primarily website reports and mediation. This is to preserve independence and ensure all parties receive the best possible advice, with no consideration of selling other services.

Operating Ethos

We can only succeed by being part of the business community and equally, by members of that community working with us. Any person with knowledge to add is an asset and that knowledge can be diverse. Whether or not others have in depth technical skills, they can often add a perspective to our work which comes from running real world businesses of great variety. There are no barriers to business owners who wish to put forward ideas to develop our services, they have much to offer.

Whether business owners, professionals, or interested UK residents, we welcome suggestions and direct input from all parties. A strong commitment is in place to ensure all members of the community are treated equally, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, marital status, responsibility for dependents, disability, race, national origin, age, religion, political or trade union affiliations.

Confidentiality is essential to good support and always maintained. Other than to people involved in direct support, no details are disclosed for any reason. This ensures website owners feel able to interact freely with those offering advice but does not prevent development of services through understanding their needs. If you would like to comment on our services, or talk to us for any reason, you are welcome to contact us.
