Our editorial process, in the open.

Our editorial process: how each blog post gets made, how we check it, and where AI fits in.

Last updated

The short version

  • Real work comes first.
  • AI drafts. We decide.
  • Every fact gets checked.
  • Mistakes get fixed, and dated.

This is how we write every post published or updated from November 2026. Older posts get the same treatment as we update them.

How a post gets made.

Every new or updated post goes through the same five stages, whatever it covers. Pick a stage.

It starts with real work.

Every post starts with something real: a project we worked on, a question a client asked, or something we tested ourselves. The idea is always ours.

In practice

  • A project we worked on
  • A question a client asked
  • Something we tested ourselves

How we handle sources.

Four rules for every post, whether it's a how-to, a guide or a list of examples.

  • We go to the sourceFacts come from the original: official docs, the site itself, or our own work.
  • Our own screenshotsScreenshots are ours, taken for the post, with the date on the post.
  • We link what we citeWhen we point to a source, we link to it so you can check it yourself.
  • We keep posts currentWhen we update a post, old details get fixed and the date changes.

What you'll see on our posts

  • Who wrote itEvery post carries its writer's name.
  • When it was updatedThe date changes whenever we fix or refresh it.
  • When screenshots were takenIf a post has screenshots, they're ours, and dated.
  • Where facts come fromWhen we cite a source, we link to it.

Independence and transparency.

  • No paid placementsNobody pays to be featured or recommended in any of our posts.
  • Affiliate links disclosedPosts with affiliate links say so at the top. They never change our picks.
  • Our Beaver Builder tieOne of our founders leads marketing at Beaver Builder. Posts about it say so.
  • Our own opinionsOur opinions are our own. They don't speak for Beaver Builder or anyone else.
