New Browser Wars

Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7 are slugging out their battle for the hearts and minds of the Web browsing public.

As a web designer I have to use both (as well as many other browsers and different versions) for testing purposes, but when it comes to my personal preference Firefox wins hands-down. In fact ask any web designer/developer which browser they prefer and I'll bet the answer is Firefox. It's better, safer and more standards compliant. Go on rediscover the web!

Latest Website Launch

New website for Eurochem by 939 Design.
Eurochem is a UK distributor of high quality chemicals supporting a range of industries from the Food and Hygiene sector, Public and Leisure Services through to the Building Industry's chemical product requirements.

New Regulations for 2007

Companies in the UK must include certain regulatory information on their websites and in their email footers before 1 January 2007 or they will breach the Companies Act and risk a fine.

Information that must be on your website

The following is the minimum information that must be on any company's website (from OUT-LAW's guide, The UK's Ecommerce Regulations).

• The name, geographic address and email address of the service provider. The name of the organisation with which the customer is contracting must be given. This might differ from the trading name. Any such difference should be explained – e.g. "XYZ.com is the trading name of XYZ Enterprises Limited."

It is not sufficient to include a 'contact us' form without also providing an email address and geographic address somewhere easily accessible on the site. A PO Box is unlikely to suffice as a geographic address; but a registered office address would. If the business is a company, the registered office address must be included.

• If a company, the company's registration number should be given and, under the Companies Act, the place of registation should be stated (e.g. "XYZ Enterprises Limited is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1234567")
• If the business is a member of a trade or professional association, membership details, including any registration number, should be provided.
• If the business has a VAT number, it should be stated – even if the website is not being used for e-commerce transactions.
• Prices on the website must be clear and unambiguous. Also, state whether prices are inclusive of tax and delivery costs.

Finally, do not forget the Distance Selling Regulations which contain other information requirements for online businesses that sell to consumers (B2C, as opposed to B2B, sales). For details of these requirements, see our guide, The Distance Selling Regulations - An Overview.

For help with email notices, such as disclaimers, see OUT-LAW's guide on Email notices.
