Who we are

ContractorUK has been online since 1999. It started as a home for UK IT contractors and grew into news, guides, calculators, a jobs board and a forum for people who work for themselves through their own company. The website guides are written by the same editorial team.

What we write about

Getting a business website right in the UK: what the law says a company site must show, what things really cost, how the main website builders compare, and what different trades and professions should put on theirs. Everything we've published is listed on our website guides page.

How we check what we publish

Every rule, price and figure in a guide comes from the source that sets it: GOV.UK, legislation.gov.uk, the regulator for that profession, or the company's own pricing page. Where a page quotes someone else's prices or rules, it says where they came from and the date we checked them. If we can't confirm something, we leave it out.

When we compare our own service with someone else's, we give their strengths a section of their own and say plainly when they're the better choice.

Corrections

Prices change and rules get updated. If you spot something out of date or wrong, email marketing@contractoruk.com and tell us which page. We'll check it and update the page, with a new date.

How ContractorUK makes money

We sell ContractorUK Websites, the website service these guides mention. ContractorUK also earns from advertising and job listings on the main site. Being paid by our own customers is why we try hard to get the guides right: if they're wrong, people stop trusting the rest of what we say.
