Hiring a web developer without getting burned
What it costs, what to ask, and what to own.
Sourced throughout — ICANN policy, the Copyright Act, and six real FTC and state enforcement actions. This guide is not in our interest, which is rather the point of publishing it.
Who it is for
Anyone about to hire someone to build their site.
Why this one is different
Every threshold and every claim of “Google says” is traced to a primary source, listed at the back so you can check it. Where the evidence is weak, the guide says so — including the widely-quoted statistics that fall apart when you look for their origin.
It is also free, ungated, and yours to share with clients or teammates. There is no email wall on this page.
