New UK Website Law 2007

Do you display all your registered company information, and your VAT number on your website and email footers? If not, you will fall foul of the Companies Act and risk a fine as of January 1st 2007.

A little known requirement also states that companies must also include details of membership of trade or professional associations.

Although this seems like another time consuming task to fulfil for businesses already burdened with bureaucracy – the directive does highlight the vital role your website plays in conveying information to the world.

The legislation extends to any electronic communication, including order forms and emails. So, if you have yet to formulate a standard email signature, now is the time to introduce this, and ensure all staff use it in all communications.

Serious Web Support offers a flexible service for the smallest amends to complete re-design, contact us now for a chat about how we can help you now, and in the future.
