How to use these guides
Four things we write about
We publish what we needed and could not find. That keeps the range narrow on purpose.
- Websites and SEO for small businesses, including what things cost
- MVP and SaaS build economics, with real ranges rather than it depends
- AI coding tool comparisons, tested rather than summarized from docs
- Industry guides for the verticals we build in
How we write them
Every guide carries a date and gets revisited. Prices and tool features move fast, and a 2026 guide written in 2024 is worse than nothing.
Where we cite a number, we say where it came from. Where we are giving an opinion, we say that too.
Where to start
If you are weighing a build, start with a cost guide. If you are choosing a tool, start with a comparison. If you run a local business, start with the SEO guides.
