Should I put my articles of association or activity report on my website?

A small guide to avoid drowning your visitors in a sea of PDFs

When transparency becomes a labyrinth

Putting your articles of association, activity report or budget forecast online: a good practice for transparency, certainly... but not without thought. In the age of constant scrolling, no one wants to open ten files to understand what you do. The right reflex? Think "readability" and "accessibility" first and foremost.

What (really) needs to be published

No need to throw everything away. Business report? Yes, but in brief. Articles of association? Why not, but as a discreet link in the footer. The idea is to be intelligently transparent, not to scare your visitor away with 40 pages of administrative jargon.

Telling rather than filing

Your site is your showcase, not an archive. Rather than tossing around an 80-page PDF, why not turn that content into storytelling? A few key figures, quotes, a timeline... In short: turn dense into digestible, and make people want to know more.

And for those who are interested?

There will always be partners, journalists or future financial backers looking for raw information. For them, create a small, tidy "documentation" corner, or a professional area. It's not what we put forward, but it's accessible to those who need it.

In a nutshell

Yes to transparency, no to overdose. What's important is to make sure you read the information carefully, and remember that you're talking to people, not controllers.
