Comprehensive PDF reference documents — not personalised advisory
Workvera's Digital Guides & Reference Kits are pre-produced, professionally formatted PDF documents covering their subject in full. Unlike our personalised advisory plans — which are tailored to your specific situation — these guides are comprehensive reference documents written for a broad audience. They are purchased once and delivered immediately.
Home Office Reference Kit
Everything you need to know to set up, organise, and manage a productive home-office environment — from equipment selection and positioning to connectivity, file organisation, and daily workflow checklists. Written in plain English for home users and people transitioning to home working.
Device Connectivity Reference Kit
A structured reference covering printer and peripheral connectivity, driver installation and management, OS configuration for Windows and macOS, network and wireless setup, and common issue resolution checklists. A permanent document to consult whenever a device stops communicating correctly.
Small Business Online Presence Kit
An in-depth guide to everything a small business needs to know about appearing online — Google Business Profile setup and optimisation, UK directory listings, review management strategy, website SEO basics, and an ongoing visibility maintenance checklist. Comprehensive and written for non-technical business owners.
Reference kits vs personalised advisory plans
Both are structured written documents from Workvera — but they serve different purposes. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right option for your situation.
Personalised Advisory Plans

- Best when you have a specific problem or goal that needs direct attention

Every guide fully explained
What each PDF guide covers in full — written for home users and small business owners without prior technical knowledge
Home Office Reference Kit
A comprehensive structured reference guide for anyone setting up, reorganising, or managing a home-office environment from scratch or improving an existing one.
This guide is written for people who work from home, are transitioning to home working, or manage a home-office setup independently. It covers the full scope of home-office setup — not just the technology, but the organisation, the ergonomics, and the daily digital workflows that make a home office function effectively. Written in plain English with no assumed technical knowledge. The guide is structured as a permanent reference document, not a step-by-step walkthrough — so you can return to it whenever a specific question arises or when your setup changes. Covers Windows and macOS environments.
- Home office layout — desk positioning, lighting, ergonomics, and cable management
- Equipment selection guidance — computers, monitors, keyboards, mice, webcams, headsets
- Printer and scanner selection, setup, and maintenance reference
- Network and router setup — wired vs wireless, boosters, and speed optimisation
- Cloud storage setup — Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox — comparison and best practice
- File organisation, folder structures, and naming convention reference

- Delivered by email within a few hours · Yours to keep, print, and reference permanently

A structured reference guide covering device and peripheral connectivity in detail — the permanent document to consult when a printer, scanner, or connected device stops working.
This guide is written for home and home-office users who manage their own devices and peripherals and want a comprehensive, structured reference they can consult independently rather than searching online every time something goes wrong. Covers the full landscape of device connectivity — how devices communicate, why they stop communicating, and the documented steps to restore and maintain communication. Written for both Windows and macOS environments, covering the most common device types used in home and home-office settings. Includes specific reference sections for the most common printer and scanner makes — HP, Canon, Epson, and Brother — alongside general guidance applicable to all makes and models.

- Professionally formatted PDF · Structured with make-specific and OS-specific sections
- Delivered by email within a few hours · Yours to keep, print, and reference permanently
Small Business Online Presence Kit
A comprehensive reference guide covering everything a small business needs to know about appearing, ranking, and growing its presence online — independently and without an agency.
This guide is written for UK small business owners who want a comprehensive, permanent reference for managing their online presence — without needing to pay an agency or rely on confusing and often contradictory advice found online. It covers the full landscape of local online presence in one structured document — from the technical aspects of Google Business Profile setup to the practical strategy of acquiring customer reviews, from UK directory listing management to website SEO basics. Updated to reflect current UK platforms and Google guidelines. The guide is structured to be actionable — each section includes a what-to-do checklist alongside the explanatory content. An ongoing visibility maintenance checklist at the end of the guide maps out what to do monthly and quarterly to maintain and improve your presence over time.
- Google Business Profile — setup, verification, category selection, and full optimisation reference

Right for you — and when to choose advisory instead
Workvera's reference kits are designed for individuals and small business owners who want a comprehensive, structured reference document to consult independently — and who prefer a lower-cost, non-personalised document over a personalised advisory plan.
They are particularly suited to people who:
- Want to understand a topic fully before deciding whether to act on it or seek personalised guidance
- Manage their own devices or online presence and want a permanent reference to consult over time
- Have general questions rather than a specific issue requiring tailored research
- Are setting up a home office for the first time and want a structured document to follow
- Own a small business and want to manage their Google presence themselves with a comprehensive guide
- Want to share a structured reference document with a team member, employee, or assistant
- Are price-conscious and want strong value from a one-time, low-cost purchase
When to choose a personalised advisory plan instead: If you have a specific, defined problem — a printer that won't connect, a Google profile appearing incorrectly, a website with a known issue — a personalised advisory plan will produce guidance tailored directly to your situation. Reference kits address their subject in general. If your situation requires specific research, choose the relevant advisory plan from Device & Printer Advisory, Digital Presence Advisory, or Website Advisory.
Important — what these guides are not
Reference kits are pre-produced documents. They are not personalised to your situation. Please read the following carefully before purchasing:
- These guides are not tailored to your specific device, business, or situation
- They do not include follow-up advisory responses or ongoing access
- They are non-refundable once delivered to your email — as digital goods delivered on payment
- They do not include any element of account access, remote assistance, or personal contact
- They will not resolve a highly specific or unusual problem in the same way a personalised plan would
If you are unsure whether a reference kit or a personalised advisory plan is more appropriate for your situation, contact us before purchasing and we will advise you honestly on which option fits better.

FAQs about Digital Guides & Reference Kits
Everything you need to know before purchasing
Reference kit guides are delivered by email within a few hours of payment confirmation — typically the same day. The PDF is attached to an email sent to the address you provide in the request form. If you do not receive it within a few hours, please check your spam or junk folder before contacting us.
Note that a full invoice is sent first within 24 hours of your request, for your review. The guide is delivered after you have reviewed and paid the invoice — not before.
The guides are produced to reflect current platforms, interfaces, and best practice at the time of purchase. Where platforms update their interfaces or Google adjusts its guidelines, significant updates to the guides are issued periodically. If you have already purchased a guide and a significant update is released, we will notify previous customers by email and provide the updated version.
For the most rapidly changing aspects of platforms — such as frequent Google Business Profile interface updates — the guides focus on principles and best practice rather than button-by-button walkthroughs, which means they remain accurate and useful even when minor interface changes occur.
Yes. Each guide is purchased independently. Many customers purchase both the Home Office Reference Kit and the Device Connectivity Reference Kit together, as they cover complementary areas. The Small Business Online Presence Kit is often purchased alongside a Digital Presence Advisory plan — using the kit as a general reference while the advisory plan addresses the specific situation of their business.
Each purchase generates a separate invoice and is delivered separately by email.
The guides are licensed for personal and single-business use. You may share a guide with members of the same household or the same business. You may print the guide for your own use. You may not resell, republish, or distribute the guide to third parties outside your household or business.
Digital reference kit guides are non-refundable once they have been delivered to your email address. This is because they are digital goods that are delivered in full on payment and cannot be returned in the way a physical product can. This is stated clearly in the purchase process, on the request form, and in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
If you are unsure whether a guide is right for your situation before purchasing, please contact us and we will advise you honestly. We would rather help you make the right choice than process a purchase that is not suited to your needs.
If you have a specific, defined problem — for example, a particular printer model that stopped connecting to your network after a Windows update — a personalised advisory plan will produce better results than the reference kit. The Essential Issue Advisory (£29) is the same price as the Home Office Reference Kit, but produces guidance tailored specifically to your device, model, OS, and described symptoms.
The Device Connectivity Reference Kit is best suited to people who want a comprehensive permanent reference to understand device connectivity more broadly, or who want something to consult over time across multiple scenarios — not just to solve one specific current problem.
