UK conference on web and internet development
 

Statement of Policy

Through practical initiatives, 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 given wider choice, information and contact details. This allows them to save time, compare value options and spend 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 opportunities to move forward on the web, sustain their business.
  • Helping ensure professional web design or development organisations provide real and ongoing value to clients and security to website users.
  • Encouraging these specialists to work by methods which are beneficial to clients, to their own business and contribute to 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 by members of that community working with us. Any person with knowledge is an asset and that knowledge can be diverse. Whether or not others have technical skills, they can add perspective to our work which comes from running real world businesses. There are no barriers to business owners putting 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, other than to people directly involved, no details are disclosed. This ensures website owners feel able to interact freely but does not prevent development of services by understanding their needs. If you would like to talk to us for any reason, you are welcome to contact us.
