Membership is now available and open to all! For only £20 per year, you’ll get:
- Voting rights at Web Matters meetings (e.g. AGMs)
- Free or discounted access to events that we put on
- Access to private Slack channels and other forms of communication that will not be available to non-members
- Other benefits, to be determined in the future.
By becoming a member, you’ll also be helping to fund and shape Web Matters as we work towards consultative status and build up our public profile.
Your membership details and payment are handled via Membermojo. For more information, see our Privacy Policy and Membermojo’s data protection standards.
Here’s how membership works:
Individual membership
Membership is open to individuals, not to companies. This is so that the many members of our industry who work entirely through freelance and/or short-term contract roles, and who are never affiliated with any employer, can still be a part of an industry body.
This also means that your membership stays with you even if you change companies or roles. Anyone who makes a living working on the web, in any role, on any platform, is welcome to join.
The annual cost of a Web Matters membership is £20.
To find out more about Web Matters and what we stand for, please read our manifesto, check out our blog or sign up to our Slack team. If you have any questions about the membership process, drop into the #membership Slack channel or email us at membership@web-matters.co.uk.
I’m only at the very start of my tech career but as someone who believes that this industry needs more than a few awards ceremonies as representation, I’d be interested in becoming a member. How do I go about it?
Please notify me when membership signup is opened…
Will do!
With what have happened over last few years it looks like this is definitely needed, please let me know you’re ready to take on members
Watch this space! We’re planning to collect names and email addresses ASAP, in preparation for when our banking and membership system is up and running. In the meantime, feel free to join us on Slack if you’d like to be involved.
Very interested in membership, meanwhile am heading over to the Slack group.
Is this only for folk based in Scotland?
Hi David, not at all! While the roots of Web Matters are in Scotland, the germination is happening across the UK. I, for example, am based in Leeds, and we’ve had interest from other places around the UK. Please join our Slack team to ask more questions, or if you’re ready sign up here. If you want a 20 minute video as a primer, this one went online just today (apologies, it’s me rambling in it!)
