How The Free Website Team documents evidence and research.
THE SHORT ANSWER
The Free Website Team distinguishes its own service terms from general guidance, illustrative examples, and measured research. Published research must identify its question, sample, collection dates, method, limitations, and accessible sources. Client case studies require real projects and permission. We have not published a client-results dataset or an industry benchmark.

Identify what each claim represents.
| Category | Required support |
|---|---|
| Our offer | The published scope or process |
| Third-party product fact | The provider’s current primary documentation |
| Illustrative example | An explicit example label; no claim of observed results |
| Original statistic | Sample, dates, method, limitations, and underlying records |
| Client result | A real project, permission, and a clearly defined measurement period |
An organization byline identifies The Free Website Team as the publisher. It is not a claim that a named professional reviewed the page. Tools calculate from the inputs supplied; they do not substitute an estimate for an observed market price.
Publish a method someone else can assess.
Define the question
State exactly what will be measured and which population the answer describes.
Document collection
Record the dates, inclusion criteria, sample size, measurement units, and source records.
Explain the calculation
Publish the formula, exclusions, missing-data treatment, and relevant limitations.
Separate observation from interpretation
Report what was measured before suggesting what it may mean. Do not turn correlation into a causal claim.
For example, a future audit of ten selected websites would describe those ten websites and the selection method. Even a perfect pass rate in that sample would not establish the same rate for all small businesses. A usable dataset also needs a download, variable descriptions, and a license.
Keep dates and corrections meaningful.
Publication checklist
- Open with a complete answer that makes sense on its own.
- Cite the primary source beside the claim and explain what it supports.
- Record a genuine first-publication date and update the modified date only for a substantive change.
- Label estimates, assumptions, and fictional examples.
- Keep incomplete articles out of feeds and sitemaps and mark them noindex.
- Check links and revisit claims when the underlying offer or product changes.
Sources are selected for relevance to a specific claim, not to decorate an article. Guides about our free-build scope rely on our published terms; they are not independent reviews of our business. If you spot an issue, use the contact address in the footer when available. Corrections should describe the changed fact and update the article date.
Related questions, answered.
Are the website concepts real client case studies?
No. They are explicitly labeled fictional design concepts with illustrative photography. They cannot be used as evidence of client work or results.
Why does a research page not contain a Dataset schema?
A methodology page is not a dataset. Dataset structured data is emitted only for a published research entry that includes real data, a download, variables, a license, and a documented method.
