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 an editorial queue the site itself describes as taking 'a few months'; a $50 express option publishes in under 48 hours and upgrades the link from nofollow to dofollow
Requirements
- Site must be a live website with clean design and strong UX — this is a design gallery, not a general directory
- Website title max 70 characters
- Website description max 150 characters
- Optional private message field for a note to the editors
Prepare before opening the form
- Live website URL
- Site title trimmed to ≤70 chars
- A ≤150-char description — plan the copy in advance, it is very short
- Optional short note for the 'Private Message' field
Workflow
- Open https://www.webdesign-inspiration.com/web-design-site/submit (or /submit or /en/submit)
- Fill the website URL, title (≤70 chars), description (≤150 chars), and optional private message
- Submit the free form — site says 'we will review it quickly' but sets expectations of a few months
- Optional: choose the $50 Express Review for <48h publication and a dofollow instead of nofollow link; payment instructions arrive in the success message
Watch for
- Direct fetches are bot-blocked (403) — use a real browser or expect automation friction
- Free-tier link is nofollow; dofollow only comes with the $50 express route
- Free editorial wait is described as months, not days
- Domain also answers at /submit, /en/submit and /fr/web-design-site/submit — same form
What counts as live
The site appears as an entry/screenshot card on webdesign-inspiration.com gallery pages and is reachable from its category
Not verified
- Whether a user account is needed to submit (form fields were visible in snippets but auth requirements were not)
- Current actual review turnaround for free submissions
- Whether the $50 express fee changed since the snippet was indexed
