How we write these guides
Three rules. First, practical over dramatic — we don’t do fear-mongering, because most small-site risk is boring and fixable, and scaring you into a purchase is how the industry got its reputation. Second, priced for small business — when a guide mentions costs, we use real market numbers, including the awkward ones, and we’re upfront that our own $49 audit is a productized small-site scope, not an enterprise engagement. Third, written from casework — everything here comes from what we actually find when we audit websites by hand, not from recycled vendor content. If a guide says scanners miss access-control flaws, it’s because we keep finding access-control flaws that scanners missed.
