# World Web Certified > World Web Certified is a bilingual editorial portal and a human-curated directory of useful reference websites. French is the default language. The French and English homepages introduce the same practical web portal. The 113 practical resources, including 39 detailed guides, and the detailed reference records are currently available in French; English links identify this language explicitly. The French reference directory contains 173 starting-point websites in 13 categories. Its index, category pages, individual records and cross-portal search are generated from one maintained catalogue so new references can be added consistently. ## Reference website directory The directory lists public, institutional, educational, cultural, technical, sporting and widely used online services with a short original description, publisher, country and topic tags. The former World Web Certified subdomain collection is not currently displayed. Inclusion provides orientation, not a commercial ranking or blanket endorsement. - Directory index: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/annuaire/ - Cross-portal search: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/recherche/ - Public services: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/annuaire/categorie/services-publics/ - Health and solidarity: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/annuaire/categorie/sante-solidarite/ - Education and knowledge: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/annuaire/categorie/education-savoirs/ - Search and AI: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/annuaire/categorie/recherche-ia/ - Digital tools: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/annuaire/categorie/numerique-outils/ - Dynamic directory sitemap: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/reference-sitemap.xml ## Reading the practical guides Guides with a dedicated procedure include illustrative examples, topic-specific questions and links to the documentation used. Other entries provide introductory guidance for their category and link to the relevant service when available. They should not be described as individual product tests or certifications. Publication updates and documentation consultation dates are shown separately; a file upload is not an editorial review. ## General-purpose web portal The French portal includes 113 practical resources across nine sections: web search, search engines, AI assistants, browsers and bookmarks, passwords and security, devices, internet access providers, social networks, and useful online services. Thirty-nine entries are detailed guides with a direct answer, an actionable method, examples, cautions, FAQs and identified documentation. Google is the first general search engine presented; Gemini is the first AI assistant presented. External services remain responsible for their own content, pricing, terms and data practices. - Portal index: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/portail/ - Google guide: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/portail/google/ - Gemini guide: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/portail/gemini/ - Search engine directory: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/portail/annuaire-moteurs-recherche/ - AI engine directory: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/portail/annuaire-moteurs-ia/ - Browser bookmarks: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/portail/favoris-navigateur/ - Passwords: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/portail/mots-de-passe/ - Passkeys: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/portail/passkeys/ - Two-factor authentication: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/portail/double-authentification/ - Choosing cloud storage: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/portail/stockage-cloud/ - Safer online shopping: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/portail/achats-en-ligne/ - Internet providers: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/portail/fournisseurs-acces-internet/ - Social network directory: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/portail/annuaire-reseaux-sociaux/ ## Purpose The portal helps visitors understand and explore reference websites covering public services, health, education, media, culture, search, technology, travel, consumption, science, international organisations and sport. Directory records provide editorial context before a visitor follows an external link. Inclusion is an editorial orientation choice; it does not endorse every page, product, recommendation or third-party service on a destination website. ## Publishing method - Every page should answer an identifiable need and add value beyond generic reformulation. - Facts, editorial descriptions and opinions are distinguished. - Sensitive, numerical or fast-changing information receives stronger source and date checks. - Artificial intelligence may assist drafting, structure, translation or illustration, but it is not treated as a source. - Publication decisions and corrections remain a human responsibility. - Advertising or commercial relationships must be disclosed and must not dictate editorial conclusions or directory order. ## Machine-readable resources - XML sitemap: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/sitemap.xml - Image sitemap: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/image-sitemap.xml - Crawling rules: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/robots.txt - Editorial methodology: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/methodology/ - Editorial charter: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/editorial-charter/ - French methodology: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/methodologie/ - French editorial charter: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/charte-editoriale/ ## French pages - Accueil: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/ - Portail pratique: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/portail/ - Le projet: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/a-propos/ - Annuaire: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/annuaire/ - Méthodologie: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/methodologie/ - Charte éditoriale: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/charte-editoriale/ - Politique publicitaire et indépendance: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/politique-publicitaire/ - Dossiers: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/dossiers/ - Évaluer une source en ligne: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/dossiers/evaluer-une-source-en-ligne/ - Créer un contenu IA réellement utile: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/dossiers/contenu-ia-reellement-utile/ - Construire un annuaire utile: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/dossiers/construire-un-annuaire-utile/ - Vérifier un site avant de lui faire confiance: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/dossiers/verifier-un-site-avant-de-lui-faire-confiance/ - Maintenir un contenu web dans le temps: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/dossiers/maintenir-un-contenu-web-dans-le-temps/ - Accessibilité du portail: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/accessibilite/ - Contact et corrections: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/contact/ - Confidentialité: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/confidentialite/ - Mentions légales: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/fr/mentions-legales/ ## English pages - Home: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/ - About: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/about/ - Directory: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/directory/ - Methodology: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/methodology/ - Editorial charter: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/editorial-charter/ - Insights: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/insights/ - Evaluate an online source: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/insights/evaluating-an-online-source/ - Create genuinely useful AI-assisted content: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/insights/useful-ai-assisted-content/ - Build a useful directory: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/insights/building-a-useful-directory/ - Check a website before trusting it: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/insights/checking-a-website-before-trusting-it/ - Maintain web content over time: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/insights/maintaining-web-content-over-time/ - Portal accessibility: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/accessibility/ - Contact and corrections: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/contact/ - Privacy: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/privacy/ - Legal information: https://www.worldwebcertified.com/en/legal/ ## Contact Publisher: Alexis R., publishing under the World Web Certified name, 8 rue Lamarck, 75018 Paris, France Publication director and webmaster: Alexis R. contact@worldwebcertified.com
