Editorial Standards

How this site maintains its written guides, calculator explanations, and publishing boundaries.

Site standards

This site is maintained as both a calculator and a written reference

Art Hanging Helper publishes practical measurement guidance for hanging artwork and planning gallery layouts. The calculator is one part of the site. The written guides are maintained separately so users can understand when a default rule applies and when room context should change the final decision.

What the editorial content covers

Written pages focus on room-specific placement decisions such as how artwork should relate to a sofa, headboard, dresser, landing, or staircase. These pages are designed to explain judgment calls that cannot be reduced to one universal number.

What the calculator covers

The calculator converts wall size, artwork size, hanger depth, desired center height, rows, columns, and spacing settings into exact nail locations. It is a utility for transferring a chosen plan into measurements, not a replacement for room-specific design judgment.

The methodology page describes the calculation logic and the assumptions behind the output so the utility is documented as part of the editorial resource, not isolated from it.

How pages are updated

Guides are revised when the calculator changes, when the site adds new example layouts, or when a topic needs more explanation because common placement mistakes keep appearing. Update work is aimed at making the resource more practical, not simply increasing page count.

How authored review works on this site

The publisher of the site is responsible for both the calculator and the editorial pages, which is why changes are reviewed for consistency across the tool, the examples, and the written guidance. If a page no longer matches the way the calculator behaves, that page is a candidate for revision.

This keeps the site focused on accuracy and practical usefulness instead of publishing broad advice that is disconnected from the tool visitors are actually using.

Review work checks three things before a page is treated as current: whether the measurement advice still matches the calculator, whether the page answers a distinct user problem, and whether links to related guides, privacy information, and methodology remain accurate.

How advertising is separated from utility-only states

When advertising is enabled on the site, it is limited to explicitly approved content contexts. Utility-only screens such as empty calculator states, error alerts, or footer navigation blocks are not used as ad surfaces.

Advertising is disabled by default while the site is in review posture. Any future ad activation is capped by page-level rendering limits so ads cannot crowd the calculator output or replace the main content a visitor came to use.

How pages are connected

Each guide links to the calculator and to related articles so visitors can continue researching a topic instead of landing on a dead-end tool page. The sitemap is kept current so search engines can discover both the utility and the written guide library.

Current content scope

  • Main calculator for exact nail placement and gallery wall measurements.
  • Example layouts and on-page how-to guidance.
  • A public methodology page that documents formulas, assumptions, and planning limits.
  • Standalone guides for picture height, sofas, gallery walls, bedrooms, and stairways.
  • Supporting pages for site background, privacy, and publishing standards.
