The Computeractive website provides simple, clear advice about computers and the internet, and how to get the most out of the latest technology in plain English.

Computeractive.co.uk aims to make home computing accessible to everyone, regardless of their age or technical ability. We do this by demystifying computers and explaining their potential benefits. We avoid jargon wherever possible, but when an explanation of abbreviations and technical terms is unavoidable, we provide readers with a Jargon Buster.

The website is updated daily and gives access to a wide range of step-by-step guides, reviews, PC tips, video tutorials, news stories, consumer rights advice, exclusive offers, competitions and more. The Computeractive forum, in which readers post and respond to PC and technology queries, is very popular.

Editorial philosophy

Computeractive’s no-nonsense and plain-English approach to computers continues in its online presence and use of social media.

Computeractive.co.uk is the UK’s premier site for free-to-view advice, product reviews and free downloads. The Computeractive brand also encourages a strong sense of community, as demonstrated by its thriving Facebook page.

Our approach is not just to post links to articles, but to use the page to talk to readers and bounce around ideas for articles. We try to answer questions posed by members, and this has encouraged other members to offer their own solutions and suggestions, as well as sharing opinions and links to interesting articles and videos from around the web.

Computeractive’s forums are frequented by long-term readers of the magazine who attempt to solve the PC problems of their fellow readers.

Home PC users of all abilities that want to learn about technology in plain English, not technical jargon.
