Editorial Standards
Seera publishes guides about portfolios, hiring, freelancing, and building a professional web presence. This page explains who writes that content, how we research and source it, how often we update it, and how to tell us when we get something wrong. We hold our blog to the same standard we ask of the portfolios our product helps people build: show your work, and stand behind it.
Who writes for Seera
Every post carries a named author who is accountable for it. We do not publish anonymously or under a generic "team" byline where a real person did the work. Our two primary authors are the founders of Seera:
- Ahmed Hussein — Founder of Seera and a Software Development Engineer at Amazon. Ahmed writes the technical and hands-on pieces: tool testing, how-to guides, and anything involving building or evaluating software.
- Mazen Ahmed — Co-founder and Growth Product Manager at Seera. Mazen writes about careers, hiring, pricing, and how job seekers and freelancers grow online.
A small number of general reference posts are published under the Seera organization byline when no single author is the clear subject-matter owner.
How we research and source
- Primary sources first. When a post cites a statistic, we link to the original study, survey, or dataset — with the publisher, and the sample size where it matters — not to a page that merely repeats the number.
- We soften what we can't source. If we can't find a credible primary source for a claim, we either qualify it as an estimate or remove it. We would rather say less than cite something we can't stand behind.
- No invented data. We do not fabricate quotes, statistics, screenshots, or reviewer personas. Hands-on results come from tests we actually ran; where a result is illustrative rather than measured, we say so.
- We disclose our own stake. Seera is a portfolio builder, so many posts mention our own product. We flag that plainly and try to give a fair account of the alternatives, including when a competitor is the better fit.
How we review
Our two founders peer-review each other's work. A post written by one founder is reviewed by the other before and after publication — a second set of eyes on the facts, the framing, and the sourcing. The reviewer is named on the post. We are a small team and do not claim a large editorial board; we claim honest, named accountability.
How often we update
Posts that reference prices, tools, or year-specific data are reviewed on a rolling basis and updated when the underlying facts change. When we make a substantive edit, we update the post's dateModified so the change is visible in search results and structured data. The "last reviewed" date at the top of a post reflects the most recent review, not just the original publish date.
Corrections
If you spot an error — a broken link, an out-of-date price, a stat that no longer holds, or anything that reads as misleading — email hello@myseera.com or reach either founder on LinkedIn above. We fix confirmed errors promptly and, for anything material, note the correction on the post.
