The Everyday Guide

About The Everyday Guide

The Everyday Guide is a small, independent how-to site. We write clear, practical guides for everyday problems — the kind of thing you search for when something is not working, you are starting something new, or you just want to do a job properly the first time.

The site launched on 3 November 2026.

What we cover

Four areas, and only four:

and everyday software.

and workplace skills.

money decisions that come up in real life.

packing, and organising.

  • Tech How-Tos — phones, computers, Wi-Fi, apps, passwords,
  • Work & Career — CVs and résumés, interviews, remote work,
  • Money Basics — budgeting, saving, credit, and the everyday
  • Home & Daily Life — cleaning, maintenance, cooking basics,

We keep the scope narrow on purpose. A site that tries to cover everything ends up saying nothing useful about anything.

How our guides are written

Every guide is written to be used, not just read. That means:

  • Checked before publishing. Steps are verified against

What we are not

We are not a news site, not a review site, and not a place for hot takes. We do not publish sponsored guides, we do not sell rankings, and we do not recommend products we have not looked into. If a guide mentions a product or service by name, it is because it is genuinely useful for the task — not because anyone paid for the mention.

Who runs this site

The Everyday Guide is run by its editor, Jordan Ellis.

Jordan writes practical, step-by-step guides for everyday problems — tech, work, money, and home. Every guide is checked before publishing, and readers’ corrections keep them up to date.
