Sites which are incomplete, which have Under Construction notices, or which contain broken graphics or links have a poor chance of being listed. Please wait to submit your web site until it is complete. Please double-check the URL, and, if possible, include an e-mail address so we may contact you if we have questions. Duplicate submission (i.e. same site submitted repeatedly to single or multiple Web Design and Development categories) is not considered to be an acceptable practice by the Open Directory Project. If your site is submitted repeatedly, it may be removed from the Directory altogether.
All sites within Commercial Services are listed with the company name as the Title. Submissions to a Regional Web Design and Development category should include the business location in the description.
Designers and Developers:
We invite you to submit to the correct letter beneath the Designers subcategory beneath the Web Design and Development area alphabetically. Please submit to the appropriate subcategory, rather than to the main Web Design and Development category.
You may also submit the site to the appropriate category in the Regional tree.
If you provide more than one service (i.e. Hosting, Promotion, Marketing), be sure to mention each of the services in your description.
If your site is related to business activities (eg. Consultancy services), please submit your site to: Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Accessibility/Companies_and_Consultants
If you are a designer or design company looking to list your business' page, it belongs in: Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers/
Please do not submit websites directly into this category, but rather select the most appropriate subcategory for your site.
The editors reserve the right not to list your site, and to delete it after its addition. Multiple submissions, especially to inappropriate categories, will not be tolerated.

Guidelines for submitting sites:
The editors reserve the right not to list your site, and to delete it after its addition. Multiple submissions, especially to inappropriate categories, will not be
tolerated. Submissions that include a referal ID will not be reviewed.
Hosted components for web sites and hosted services for web site owners. These don't require software to be downloaded or installed on a web server. The component or service must be hosted on the servers of the site providing the component or service. If the component or service is hosted on the web site owner's server or the web site owner's hosting company server then the site can not be listed in this category.
Some of these are intended only for the site owners, though most are intended for visitors to the site. In the case of the latter, the site owner usually just needs to link to the site or copy and paste some script or markup.
Services listed here can be pay, ad-supported, or free.
Submit sites offering a specialized hosted service with no appropriate subcategory, or sites offering services that span multiple listed categories.
Sites offering non-commercial online tools in multiple areas of web site development, or provide a usable service to webmasters to help design/build/maintain a website will not be listed here -- they should be submitted to the appropriate subcategory underneath Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Authoring/Online_Tools/.
Sites selling software to help design/build/maintain a website will not be listed here -- they should be submitted to the appropriate subcategory underneath Computers/Software/Business/.
Sites offering hosted promotion services will not be listed here -- they should be submitted to the appropriate subcategory underneath Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Promotion.
Sites offering web hosting plans will not be listed here -- these should be submitted to the appropriate subcategory underneath Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Hosting.
sites offering web design, development, and programming services will not be listed here -- these should be submitted to the appropriate subcategory underneath Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers.
Companies that primarily offer web design and development services are listed under Designers under the appropriate letter.
The web is continuously changing: websites may disappear, they may be replaced by redirects to other sites or they change content. Links pointing to changed or disappeared websites break, or become incorrect because the content they were supposed to point to got lost. This phenomenon is called linkrot.
The editors reserve the right not to list your site, and to delete it after its addition. Multiple submissions, especially to inappropriate categories, will not be
tolerated. Submissions that include a referal ID will not be reviewed.
Companies offering commercial services such as site creation, graphic design, or website promotion should search for the proper sub-category from the Web Design and Development tree. Foreign-origin sites written in languages other than English should search for the proper sub-category from the World tree.
Web site Design firms DO NOT belong in this category. If your site offers Design, Hosting and Promotion, please submit to the appropriate letter in the Designers section.
Search engine optimization and submission firms should be submitted to the appropriate letter in the Search Engine Optimization Firms section.
If you have a general marketing agency that goes beyond the scope of Internet marketing, please look for the appropriate subcategory in the Business: Marketing section.
All other firms specifically related to website promotion, please look for the subcategory that best fits your site services.
Failing to submit to the proper subcategory may cause delays in your site being listed.
