Conditional free route
directory

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

## What the free route requires

- Free submissions enter a 3–4 week editorial review queue and are only featured 'if we like it too' — curation is the gate
- Pro membership ($7/mo or $84/yr) gives prioritised submissions and per-site analytics but not guaranteed inclusion

## Requirements

- This is a web-design inspiration gallery — the submitted asset is the product's WEBSITE design, not the product itself; only visually strong sites get featured
- Account required: 'Log in or sign up' to submit and track status
- Accepts websites and templates; entries get tagged by type, category, style, technology, and colour

## Prepare before opening the form

- A polished, distinctive marketing site or product UI — the design is what is judged
- Site URL; A1 generates screenshots/taxonomy itself
- Optional: submit from the account you want analytics on — 'that's how A1 knows it's yours'

## Workflow

1. Create a free account at a1.gallery/login
2. Open /submit and submit the site URL
3. Free tier: wait 3–4 weeks for editorial review; Pro tier: prioritised review
4. If accepted, the site appears in the gallery with filter tags; Pro unlocks impression/click analytics

## Watch for

- Rejection is normal — heavy curation ('if we like it too'); don't resubmit unchanged sites
- Value is designer-audience referral traffic (4,350+ newsletter subscribers), not SEO — outbound links likely unfollowed
- If your site is already listed by someone else, email hello@a1.gallery to link it to your account
- No-refund policy on Pro

## What counts as live

The site has a dedicated page at a1.gallery/website/<slug> browseable via gallery filters

## Not verified

- Acceptance rate for free submissions
- Whether featured sites get followed outbound links
- Newsletter inclusion criteria beyond gallery acceptance
