Guides
Short answers to the questions behind a website
Each guide opens with the answer in two sentences, then shows the working. Written from the code that runs the product, with the date it was last checked.
Payments
How to take a deposit when someone books
Set the deposit once, as a percentage or a fixed amount, then ask for it on the services that need it. Only the payment provider confirms the booking.

Payments
Is the thank-you page proof of payment?
No: anybody can open it, paid or not, and somebody who paid may never reach it. Confirm a booking only on the payment provider's signed message.

Glossary
The words these pages use, said once and plainly
Every term, with what it means hereNumbers come from the code
A limit or a retention window is read from the setting that enforces it, so a guide cannot go on quoting last year's figure.
Dated, and sourced
Every guide shows the day it was last checked, and links the pages of other companies it describes.
No stories we cannot show
No invented customers, results or quotes. Where an example is needed, it says it is one.
