Templacity publishes long-form reviews and guides alongside selling templates, which raises a fair question: who pays for the blog, and how do we keep the recommendations honest? Short version: we don’t take payment for reviews, and we don’t use affiliate links. The longer version is below.
Who pays for the blog
Templacity is funded by template sales. Nothing else. The blog exists because the readers we want as customers tend to research a device or workflow extensively before buying anything, and we’d rather be the most useful answer in that research than the loudest ad.
How posts are produced
Drafts start from outlines built on manufacturer specs, public community discussion (Reddit, manufacturer forums, reviews) and our own working knowledge of the devices and templates we cover. Every published post is edited by hand before going live. If a claim doesn’t survive a sanity check, it doesn’t ship.
We don’t claim things we haven’t verified, we don’t invent quotes or user testimonials, and we don’t write under fake personal bylines. When we describe a “frustration that keeps coming up in the community”, that means we’ve actually seen it surface across multiple sources, not that one of us is pretending to have had it.
Affiliate links
We don’t use affiliate links. Templacity earns from template sales only.
Paid placements
We don’t run paid posts. We don’t take “sponsored review” deals.
Comparisons and “best of” lists
When a post compares products head to head, every product is judged on the same criteria, written out at the top of the post. We don’t move the goalposts to make any product look better. If a Templacity template loses on a criterion to a competing one, we say so. If a device we sell templates for has a flaw, we say that too.
Corrections
If a fact, price, spec, or claim in a post is wrong, please tell us at contact@templacity.com. We update posts in place. Material changes (a verdict reversal, a corrected spec that changes a ranking) also go into the studio letter so subscribers see them.
Updates to this page
We update this page whenever the answer to “how do we work” changes in substance.
