At TheDesignLemonade.com, we aim to empower design entrepreneurs with the tools, resources, and insights they need to succeed. To this end, we include product recommendations, affiliate links, and promotional offers that we believe will bring value to our audience.

This Commerce Policy outlines how we select products, earn revenue, and maintain transparency and trust in our editorial and commercial content.

How We Make Money

We may earn a small commission when you purchase a product or service through a link on our Site. These links appear in blog posts, reviews, downloadable guides, resource hub listings, and newsletter content.

We partner with select affiliate programs, e-commerce platforms, and other service providers relevant to our audience.

This affiliate revenue helps fund our content creation and keeps many of our tools and templates available at no cost. You have no additional cost when you purchase through our affiliate links.

Product Reviews and Recommendations

Our experts, educators, and contributors independently produce our reviews, guides, and curated resources. Occasionally, we may receive complimentary access to software, tools, or products for testing purposes. However:

• • We never accept compensation in exchange for a positive review.
  • Our editorial team chooses what to feature based on value, relevance, and usefulness to the creative and business community.
  • If we don’t believe in a product or wouldn’t use it ourselves, we won’t recommend it, regardless of potential revenue.

We do not receive affiliate earnings if the user returns or cancels a product.

Sponsored Content and Promotions

The Design Lemonade, LLC may occasionally feature sponsored content or collaborate with brand partners on educational resources, product launches, or discount promotions. Sponsored content will always be clearly labeled as such.

We uphold the same standards of integrity in sponsored content as in our editorial work.

Financial Tools and Resources

We occasionally recommend business services, financial tools, and platforms to help design entrepreneurs manage their ventures more effectively. These may include accounting software, productivity tools, or business bank accounts.

While we may earn a commission if you sign up through our links, we do not offer personalized investment, legal, or financial advice. Please consult a qualified professional before making financial decisions.

Editorial Independence

Our commerce-related content is developed and reviewed independently of any sponsorship or advertising agreements. Our editorial and commerce teams operate separately to preserve transparency and objectivity.

Feedback and Partnerships

We welcome feedback on the products and services we recommend and are always open to discovering new tools that benefit our community.
