Listing Guidelines

These guidelines describe what can be listed in the DesignBookmark directory. They apply to every listing, whether it was added editorially or paid for. By submitting a tool you confirm that it meets them.

What qualifies

A listing is a single tool, website, app or resource that a designer, developer or person working with AI would find useful. It has to be something a visitor can actually go and use.

• It must be a real, working product or service, live at the URL you submit.
• It must be relevant to one of our published categories: design, development, AI, no-code and web, marketing and growth, productivity, business, content and media, platforms, libraries and templates, or learning and community.
• It must fit an existing category. We do not create new categories for individual submissions.
• It must be understandable in English, since that is the language of the directory.

Quality requirements

• The URL must be a secure address, starting with https://, and must load without a login wall, an interstitial or a country block.
• The name is what people call the product. Not a slogan, not a keyword string.
• The description is one plain sentence saying what the tool does, up to 200 characters. Not marketing copy, not a list of keywords.
• The site must be substantially complete. A waiting list page, a coming-soon holding page, or a page that is still placeholder content does not qualify.

What we will not list

• Scams, fraudulent offers, or anything designed to deceive people about what it is or who runs it.
• Malware, phishing, or anything that puts a visitor's device or accounts at risk.
• Content that is illegal where we operate, or that infringes someone else's copyright or trademark.
• Adult or sexually explicit material.
• Parked domains, expired domains and domains for sale.
• Pages that exist mainly to carry affiliate links, redirect elsewhere or funnel traffic rather than provide the tool itself.
• Submissions that misrepresent the product, its ownership, its price or its capabilities.
• Link shorteners, tracking redirects and URLs that do not resolve directly to the product.

Duplicates

Each product gets one listing. We check submissions against the directory by name and by domain, and a tool that is already listed cannot be bought a second listing. If your product is already in the directory and something about the entry is wrong, email us and we will correct it at no charge.

Separate products from the same company can each be listed, provided each one meets these guidelines on its own. Two URLs that lead to substantially the same product are a duplicate, not two products.

How your submission is published

The name, URL, category and description you enter are what get published. Nobody rewrites them for you. We may make small edits for consistency: fixing capitalisation, trimming a description to fit, correcting obvious typos, standardising how a name is written, or moving an entry to a category that fits it better. We will not change what your product is or what it claims to do.

We also capture a screenshot of the submitted page and store a copy of the site's icon, so the listing has an image. Both are refreshed from time to time.

Removal

We may remove a listing that no longer meets these guidelines. In practice that means one of the following: the site has gone offline or become a parked domain; the product has materially changed into something that would not have qualified; the submission misrepresented the product; or the listing turns out to fall into the "what we will not list" section above.

Where we remove a paid listing, the refund policy in our Terms & Conditions applies. We will always tell you at the email address on the submission.

If you disagree

Email [email protected] and a person will look at it. If we got it wrong, we will put the listing back.
