Advertiser Disclosure

Last Updated: February 2026

At How Web Design, we believe in transparency. This page explains exactly how we make money, how our relationships with advertisers work, and our commitment to editorial independence.

How We Make Money

How Web Design is an independent, advertising-supported comparison service. The offers that appear on this site are from companies that may compensate us. This happens in a few ways:

  • Affiliate Commissions: When you click on a link to a website builder (like Wix or Squarespace) and sign up for a paid plan, we may earn a referral fee. This comes at no extra cost to you.
  • Performance Incentives: Some partners may offer higher commissions for higher volumes of traffic or sales.

How Compensation Affects Us

While we receive compensation from our partners, it may impact:

  • How and where products appear on the site (including, for example, the order in which they appear in comparison tables).
  • Which products we choose to review and feature.

However, compensation never influences our editorial opinions, scores, or the "Pros and Cons" we list for each product. Our reviews are based on hours of actual testing. If a product has a flaw, we write about it, regardless of how much they pay us.

What We Don't Do

We do not sell rankings. A company cannot pay us to get a 5-star review.

We do not publish promoted content disguised as editorial reviews without clear labeling.

We do not include the entire universe of available offers. We focus on the most relevant tools for our audience.

Editorial Integrity

Editorial opinions expressed on the site are strictly our own and are not provided, endorsed, or approved by advertisers. We strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, but we cannot guarantee that all information is 100% accurate at all times. Please verify all terms and conditions with the provider before applying for any product or service.

If you have any questions about our disclosure or how we work, please contact us.
