Audit Report: PinoyBuilt.com Evaluation (January 2026)

---

Based on a comprehensive audit of PinoyBuilt.com—analyzing its content, structure, technical performance, and user experience—here is the formal grading report.

OFFICIAL GRADE

B (3.0 / 4.0)

"A high-performing community asset with an A-grade voice, currently held back by C-grade technical implementation."

Detailed Report Card

1. Content & Relevance: A

• Strengths: The site is exceptionally active. Posting daily or near-daily updates (e.g., January 2026 posts on local protests, sports, and ancestry) is rare for independent blogs. The content is original and serves a specific niche (Filipino-American diaspora).
• Weaknesses: None significant. The archive dating back to the early 2000s shows immense dedication.

2. Trust & Authority: A-

• Strengths: The "About" page is transparent, listing the specific author (J.F.R. Perseveranda) and a clear mission statement. The site does not hide behind anonymity.
• Weaknesses: The lack of a visible Privacy Policy link in the footer is an oversight for a site that runs Google Ads.

3. User Experience (UX) & Design: C+

• Strengths: Functional, text-first layout that is easy to read.
• Weaknesses: The "ADMIN" link in the main public navigation adds visual noise. The design is a standard template that could benefit from modern spacing and typography.

4. Technical & SEO: B-

• Strengths: The site uses HTTPS (Security) and loads quickly on Google's infrastructure.
• Weaknesses: The site uses date-based URLs (e.g., /2026/01/post.html) which is less optimal for SEO than category-based structures.

Action Plan: How to Get an "A"

To immediately elevate the site's quality and user experience, the following three fixes are recommended:

1. Remove "ADMIN" from Navigation: This link should be hidden from the public menu.
2. Add a Privacy Policy: Create a dedicated page for privacy/terms and link it in the footer (crucial for AdSense compliance).
3. Modernize the Header: Replace the standard text header with a custom logo to establish a stronger brand identity.

Let's build something Filipino together.
