  Benefits of Web Site Certification

  Web Site Certification Standards

Two Year Certification!

Certification is good for two full years. Periodically, we personally visit our certified web sites to ensure they continue to adhere to our standards. If a certified web site has strayed from our standards, then the certification will be revoked until the web site has been returned to the level of our standards. If we receive three complaints regarding your site in relating to our standards, your certification will be permanently revoked if substantiated.

Site Certification Logos

When your site is certified, you will be authorized to display the PSI Certified Web Site Logo and use it in your advertising. Each web site that has been certified by us will be listed in our Certified Web Sites Page as being a Certified Web Site. The logo on your web site must point to the Currently Certified Web Sites page on this site so visitors who visit your site can verify your site's certification.
