Who is it actually for?
Every useful listing should make the intended user and use case clear before talking features.
TOOLS
Tools worth understanding, not just clicking.
A curated directory of software and services for building, running and growing websites — with enough context to understand who each tool is actually for.
No arbitrary scoresCommercial links disclosedTrade-offs included
EDITORIAL STANDARD
Useful first. Monetisable second.
SiteBaba can earn from some tools without turning the directory into a wall of affiliate buttons. The recommendation has to make sense independently of the commission.
Where does it fall short?
A real recommendation includes the situations where another approach would make more sense.
Separate verdict from commission.
The official destination and affiliate destination are stored separately, and commercial relationships are disclosed.

Editorial rule: A higher affiliate commission never earns a better verdict. Affiliate links should be identified as sponsored, and the non-affiliate official destination remains available where appropriate.
