As the UK's best-selling internet magazine, says IPC, Web User includes the best of the net and offers simple-to-follow internet and computing advice. The title also delivers authoritative hardware and software reviews in an easy to understand style.
Webuser.co.uk features a mix of advice and reviews and boasts an active and involved community on the forums.
The deal sees Dennis acquire the brand – currently published within the IPC Inspire portfolio – with immediate effect. There will be no interruption to the publishing schedule of the title.
Dennis Publishing is a leading independent publisher, with over 50 magazines, digital magazines, websites and mobile sites in the UK and offices in New York, Sydney and New Delhi.
Dennis Publishing chief executive James Tye says: “Web User has a distinctive style and a strong consumer voice and will make a superb addition to our technology portfolio. This is now the fifth acquisition we have made in the last 18 months and underlines our commitment to continue to grow the company, both in print, online and the digital magazine space.”
IPC Inspire managing director Paul Williams adds: “As publisher of a number of leading computing titles, Dennis is a great new home for Web User. I would personally like to thank the Web User team for continuing to do a fantastic job over the course of the strategic review and acquisition negotiations, and wish them all the very best for the future.”
