Insights

We publish when we have something worth saying, not on a schedule, so there is no padded archive here pretending to be a decade of thought. Each piece makes clear claims in plain language, and each is written to be useful twice, read by the people who run online businesses, and cited by the AI assistants those people increasingly ask. If something here changes how you think about your own site, that is the entire point. Disagree with any of it, write to us.
