Website check

Reading a supplier's website as evidence, not as an introduction.

A website is the supplier's own account of itself, written to persuade. That does not make it useless: it is the easiest place to find claims you can then test elsewhere. This guide is a short routine for extracting those claims, noting what the page structure suggests, and handing the testable parts to a second source.

The decision question

What does this site claim, and which of those claims can I test elsewhere?

Read the site as a list of statements: who they are, what they make, where, for whom, with what proof. Copy each statement that your decision relies on onto a sheet, then put a second source next to it. A site that gives you little to copy is also a finding.

Spend time on the pages that commit the company to something: about, quality, certificates, contact and terms.

What to look at and what it may suggest

What to look at and what it may suggest

Legal identity on the page

Company name, legal form and registered address in a footer or terms page. Absence is a question, not a verdict.

Range and detail

Narrow range with process language may point to production; broad unrelated range may point to resale.

Proof offered

Named certificates with numbers, named customers or case notes, as against general adjectives.

Contact routes

A real address, a named department, a domain-matched email versus only a form or a free mail address.

Language and consistency

Changes of language quality or terminology between pages may indicate reused content.

What a website cannot establish

What a website cannot establish

That the facility exists

Photographs and descriptions cannot be confirmed from a desk.

That claims are current

Pages may be undated and may stay up after a claim stops being true.

That the company is independent of others

Shared templates and sites may point to links between companies or may be ordinary practice.

A structured read

LATYNEX's verification report compares site statements with public records and other sources, citing each, and marks what could not be checked.

Step by step

Quick checks anyone can do

01

Compare the legal name with a register entry

Match the name and legal form on the site with the official record, character by character.

02

Look at the domain

Check how long the name has been in use where public records show it, and whether the mail domain matches.

03

Search a distinctive sentence and an image

See where else they appear.

04

Read the terms and contact pages

Note what they say about who contracts and where.

Good to know

What this is, and isn't

Research reports what can be established from public and provided sources. It is not a guarantee about a counterparty's future conduct and not legal advice.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is a professional-looking site a good sign?+

It tells you about the site's cost. Look at what it commits to.

Do I need technical tools?+

Basic checks need none. Treat any technical finding as a prompt for a question.

Does a missing certificate on the site mean the supplier lacks it?+

No; ask for it. The point is to test claims, not to assume the opposite.
