About Mara Ellison
I am Mara Ellison, and I edit Help4Web. I run every review published here myself: I open the public demos, I take each screenshot on the day I use it, I read the pricing and allowance grids line by line, and I build the comparison tables criterion by criterion. What you read is the result of that work, not a rewrite of press releases.
What I do myself
Collection, verification, writing: it all starts from my desk. I walk through the interfaces that are open without an account, I date and keep every screenshot, and I cross-check the official pages before writing a line. Every link is checked before publication, and every page carries its verification date.
Declared, observed, measured
I have not opened a paid account and I have not launched an audit on these products. What comes from the vendors is marked declared; what I have seen myself in a public interface is marked observed; what has been measured is marked measured. Without retrievable evidence, the cell stays empty.
What I refuse
Overall performance rankings, invented scores, fabricated testimonials and comparisons without sources. Scopes and units differ from one product to another: I document criteria, I do not hand out medals.
