Find a starting point.

Prepare a trip, find something to read, learn or explore a project at home. Each topic brings together direct links and practical guides.

  1. News & media

    Read about events, find original material and compare coverage. These starting points separate daily reporting, archives and claim checking.

  2. Travel & holidays

    Plan a destination, organise the stops and choose accommodation. Start with destination information, then use booking services for your itinerary.

  3. Education & learning

    Review a concept, take a course and prepare study choices. Start with the level, language and time available for learning.

  4. Internet & computing

    Choose access, resolve a problem and discover digital tools. Technical documentation, usage guidance and service providers complement each other.

  5. Housing & home

    Prepare a housing project, understand renovation and examine the surroundings. Legal, energy and geographic questions require different sources.

  6. Art & museums

    Explore collections, find an artwork and prepare a visit. Museum records and image resources help distinguish an artwork from its reproduction.

03 — Direct answers

Understand first.
Then act.

Short answers designed to stand on their own, followed by an English editorial guide when you need the method, examples and limitations.

01

How do I identify an official website?

Check the domain, the named publisher and the purpose of the page. For an important action, reach the service from a recognised institutional directory or a previously verified address.

Check a website before trusting it
02

Can I trust an answer produced by AI?

Treat it as a starting point when the facts matter. Isolate each claim, open the cited material and confirm important details with a recent source that is competent for the subject.

Learn how to evaluate a source
03

What makes a directory genuinely useful?

A useful directory explains why each destination belongs, identifies its publisher and limits, and helps visitors choose by need rather than presenting an unexplained list of links.

04

How should web content be maintained?

Review the claims and outgoing links, not only the publication date. Record meaningful editorial changes and make corrections easy to request.

Maintain content over time
04 — Questions

A clear portal.
Clear limits.

Each external service remains responsible for its content, terms and data practices.

What can I find on World Web Certified?

Thirty general-interest topics cover news, travel, work, culture, science, home and leisure. They provide direct web links, links to detailed reference records and clearly identified websites in our network. Practical guides and tools help with everyday online tasks.

Which languages are available?

The general-interest topic pages and 24 everyday practical guides are available in French, English, Spanish and German. Detailed directory records and 183 digital guides are available in French and English. Links to those pages identify the destination language. External websites control their own language editions.

How are websites and services selected?

The editorial review considers the identity of the publisher, practical usefulness, clarity, information freshness and the precautions a visitor may need before using the resource.

How can I tell when a page was reviewed?

Detailed guides show their update date and, when external documentation is used, the date on which those sources were consulted.

Which services appear first?

Google is the first general search engine shown and Gemini the first AI assistant. This order is a starting point, not a claim that one tool is best for every task.

Are the listed services partners?

Not unless explicitly stated. A link helps you find a destination and does not imply a partnership or endorsement of all its content or terms.

How can I request a correction?

Use the Contact page and include the relevant URL, the passage concerned and, when possible, a supporting source.
