Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: November 11, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At PixelCraft, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising relationships and business partnerships. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through various advertising methods and affiliate relationships.
We are committed to maintaining editorial integrity while being open about our commercial relationships. This disclosure is provided in accordance with FTC guidelines and applicable European regulations to ensure you understand the nature of our business relationships.
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
Affiliate Programs Participation
PixelCraft participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may receive financial compensation when you click on certain links on our website and subsequently make a purchase or sign up for services. These affiliate relationships help support our business and allow us to continue providing valuable content and services.
We only recommend products, tools, and services that we believe are relevant to our audience and align with our values. Our participation in affiliate programs does not influence our editorial judgment or the quality of our content.
Commission-Based Relationships
When you click on affiliate links and make qualifying purchases, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. The commission structure varies by program and product. These commissions are:
- Paid by the merchant or service provider, not you
- Do not affect the price you pay for products or services
- Used to support the operation of our website and business
Product Recommendation Policy
Our recommendations are based on our professional experience and assessment of value to our audience. When evaluating products or services for potential affiliate partnerships, we consider:
- • Relevance to UX/UI design professionals and businesses
- • Quality and reliability of the product or service
- • Value proposition and pricing fairness
- • Company reputation and customer support
- • Alignment with our professional standards and values
Financial Relationship Transparency
Where applicable, we disclose affiliate relationships directly within content through clear labeling such as "affiliate link," "partner link," or similar notation. This ensures you always know when a link may result in compensation to us. We maintain this transparency to preserve trust with our audience while supporting our business operations.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
Identification of Sponsored Content
From time to time, we may publish sponsored content, paid promotions, or advertorials on our website. All sponsored content is clearly labeled and identified as such. Common labels include:
- • "Sponsored Post" or "Sponsored Content"
- • "Paid Partnership" or "Paid Promotion"
- • "Advertisement" or "Ad"
- • "In Partnership With [Brand Name]"
Sponsored Post Labeling
We ensure that sponsored content is clearly distinguishable from our regular editorial content through prominent disclosure statements placed at the beginning of sponsored posts. These disclosures inform readers that the content is paid for by an advertiser, though the opinions expressed may still reflect our genuine assessment of the product or service.
Brand Partnership Disclosure
We occasionally enter into partnerships with brands and companies in the design and technology space. These partnerships may include:
- • Collaborative content creation
- • Product reviews or case studies
- • Event sponsorships or participation
- • Resource or tool recommendations
All such partnerships are disclosed transparently, and we maintain editorial independence in our assessments and recommendations.
Content Authenticity Guarantee
While we accept sponsored content, we maintain strict editorial standards. Sponsored posts are reviewed for accuracy, relevance, and value to our audience. We reserve the right to decline sponsorship opportunities that don't align with our values or provide genuine value to our readers. Our reputation and your trust are more important than any individual sponsorship opportunity.
Third-Party Advertising Networks

FTC Compliance and Regulatory Standards
PixelCraft complies with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, as well as European advertising standards. We are committed to honest and transparent communication about our commercial relationships.
Our disclosures are designed to be clear, conspicuous, and easily understood. We place disclosures where they are likely to be noticed and understood by a reasonable consumer. When we have a material connection to a product or service we recommend, we disclose that relationship.
We believe that transparency builds trust, and we are dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards in all our advertising and partnership relationships.
Editorial Independence and Integrity
While we participate in affiliate programs and accept advertising, we maintain strict editorial independence. Our reviews, recommendations, and content are based on our professional expertise and honest assessment. Advertising relationships do not influence our editorial decisions or content quality.
We are selective about the partnerships we form and the products we recommend. We regularly review our affiliate relationships and advertising partnerships to ensure they align with our values and serve our audience's interests.
If we believe a product or service does not meet our standards or provide genuine value, we will not recommend it, regardless of potential compensation. Your trust is more valuable to us than any advertising revenue.

We may update this Advertising Disclosure from time to time to reflect changes in our advertising practices, partnerships, or regulatory requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the disclosure was most recently revised.
We encourage you to review this disclosure periodically to stay informed about our advertising relationships and practices. Material changes will be communicated through a notice on our website or other appropriate means.
