Pleased to announce that the eSOS site has just been certified as an Australian Certified Website!

Whilst the organisation providing the certification is relatively new I felt that this was not as important as the spirit/intent of the service they were providing which, according to their Terms & Conditions, is:

“… established to certify websites that are operated by real people who reside and operate their websites from within Australia ….  aims to showcase websites that are Australian owned and operated … The certification will save time for Australian consumers who are looking specifically to shop in Australia with Australian owned and operated websites … The business was established for consumers who are looking specifically to shop or gain information from Australian owned and operated bodies via their website. Our website can be used as a portal for consumers who are looking for Australian certified websites as well as being able to identify a certified site by the gold logo being displayed.”

I also liked the fact that they are independent of government bodies/agencies and specific industries.

It’s important to note that this is NOT Quality Assurance and that they are certifying sites only – not businesses per se. So it’s not business certification but site certification – ie you are legitimately an Australian owned/operated site.

Why did I choose to have my site certified? I think given the issues we currently have with offshore suppliers pinching our IP this is a good way for clients to know I’m legitimate and they can be assured that the service provided is 100% Australian owned.

If you’ve used eSOS for work in the past feel free to give a recommendation or rating at the site!
