Compass Production does not sell ad space to the highest bidder.
We do not run random ads.
We do not promote tools we don’t use.

Every product, service, or platform advertised or recommended on this website meets one standard: we actively use it, trust it, and would confidently deploy it for our own clients. If something does not perform, does not deliver long-term value, or does not hold up under real-world use, it does not appear here—period.

Our reputation matters more than ad revenue.

What You’ll See Advertised Here

Anything featured on this website falls into one of the following categories:

• Tools and platforms we actively use in client projects

• Services we rely on for performance, security, and stability

• Providers we confidently recommend because they’ve proven themselves over time

If it’s here, it’s because it passed real testing—not marketing hype.

How Affiliate Partnerships Work (Plain English)

Some of our recommendations are affiliate partnerships, and some are not.

An affiliate partnership simply means this:

• If you choose to sign up through our link

• We may receive a referral commission from the provider

• You pay the same price—or sometimes receive a better deal

There is no added cost to you.

Affiliate programs exist so companies can reward trusted referrals. Instead of paying for mass advertising, they compensate partners who actually use and understand their products. That’s it.

Why We Use Affiliate Partnerships

Affiliate partnerships allow us to:

• Recommend proven tools without inflating our service pricing

• Continue providing guidance, education, and support

• Keep recommendations focused on quality, not volume

They do not influence what we recommend.

If a product stopped meeting our standards tomorrow, we would remove it—affiliate or not.

Affiliate vs. Non-Affiliate Recommendations

Not everything we recommend is an affiliate relationship.

Some tools:

• Do not offer affiliate programs

• Are recommended purely on merit

Others:

• Do offer affiliate partnerships

• Are still recommended for the same reason: they work

Whether a link is affiliated or not does not change our standards.

Our Commitment to You

We will never:

• Promote products we don’t use

• Run ads we don’t stand behind

• Recommend tools just because they pay commissions

We will always:

• Be clear about how recommendations work

• Choose performance and reliability over hype

• Put long-term trust ahead of short-term revenue

If it’s on this site, it earned its place.

Questions?

If you ever want to know why something is recommended, or whether we personally use it, you’re welcome to ask. Transparency is part of how we do business.
