I read this policy as: it must be possible to find Postgres-related
services by browsing the website starting from the published URL. In
this case, a person looking for Postgres services browses their website,
they won't find anywhere that they are offering PostgreSQL services.
As Jaime said, the post you found just says they are looking to hire
somebody with Postgres experience, which is definitely not the same as
offering Postgres services. I do not think that merely having the word
"Postgres" somewhere in the website is enough to qualify.

Website is back. There's no mention of Postgres anywhere, though the
logo is an elephant. There is some "Lorem ipsum" content so we can wait
a few days to see if they upload something relevant. I do not think
that merely having an elephant as a logo is enough to qualify.
