WCF Service without a client

Hello,
I am new to C# and WCF. I am looking to implement a WCF service which will require no installation of  client software on user's PC's. So for example any user on any device should be able to access the service without any software updates. I have already implemented a client/server version where the client takes the data returned from the service and formats the screen to be output to the user. However I'm am not sure how I would go about putting this client logic into the server, if indeed that is how a clientless service is achieved.   Any information, tip and pointers would be most welcome.

regards
Pat

What I want is not to have to install client software on every PC, Laptop & device and achieve the same functionality as I can in the client/server version. How to go about this , I do not know.

Unfortunately the previous Client/server solution is on my Home PC and I am away until the weekend. Basically I had 2 two projects in the solution. The 1st was the WCF service and the 2nd project calls the WCF service and uses the returned data from the service to update and display the web page(s). Whilst I have written this version, it has not been implemented , as I only recently realised that it would require the 2nd project to run on the client PC. My remit is to develop a service which requires no software to be configured on the client side

How do websites like paypal.com and xero.com work ?  There is no requirement for me to install any client software and these websites can be called from any device and have a user input requirement.
