the net-progress philosophy |
|
holistic
|
| net-progress believe the value of
analysis of all aspects of online performance is far greater
than the sum of its parts, because many aspects impact each
other. |
|
| |
objective |
| our analysis is always objective,
independent and impartial. Since we are usually acting as a
third party with no agenda of our own, you can trust the results
and recommendations. |

| |
ethical |
| we only use legitimate methods to
gather data for our analysis and always strive to maintain the
highest ethical standards in everything we do. |
| |
giving something back |
| An essential part of the net-progress
philosophy is giving something back to the internet community,
particularly where people are experiencing real challenges.
|
| |
Charity days |
| Each of our consultants recieves
one Charity Day a month, to work for an organisation that is
important to them, be it an online project, or helping in a
shop. |
| |
net-guide |
| A natural extension of our work on
website accessibility, we founded and maintain the accessibility-focused
search engine net-guide. Uniquely, net-guide is not only accessible
and easy to use itself, it also provides search results which
are classified by accessibility as well as relevance, so that
a sight-impaired user knows which of the returned websites will
be accessible. |

campaigning |
| our intention with our survey work
is always to reward excellence, rather than naming and shaming
poorer performers. Through an ongoing programme of industry
surveys, our award scheme, specific campaigns, we hope to incentivise
organisations to provide the best possible online performance
for the benefit of both themselves and others. |
