Ledger35 — a reading list of the open web

Questions, occasionally asked

What is Ledger35?

Ledger35 is a hand-reviewed web directory: a structured catalogue of 834 websites organised across 22 subject sections and maintained as a reference record of the open web. Entries are submitted by site operators, reviewed individually, and filed in the order they are received.

Is it free to submit my site?

Yes. Submission is free, and browsing the directory is free. There are no paid placements, no premium tiers, and no fees of any kind. Every entry in the catalogue went through the same standard review process regardless of the operator or the type of site.

How are sites organised in Ledger35?

Sites are filed under one of 22 subject sections, ranging from Automotive Trades & Parts and Financial Services & Capital to Technology & Software and Travel Operators & Accommodation. The section is selected by the submitting operator and confirmed or adjusted during review. Within each section, entries are ordered by date of receipt.

How do I submit my site?

Use the Add a Record form at the top of the directory. Choose the section that best describes your site, enter your URL and a brief description, then submit. The submission is placed in the review queue and processed in the order it arrives. You will not receive a confirmation email; entries appear in the catalogue once review is complete.

How long does the review process take?

Review times vary depending on the volume of submissions in the queue. The directory does not operate to a fixed turnaround time. Submissions are assessed in the order they are received; once a record is approved it appears in the relevant section of the catalogue.

What happens if my site moves or goes offline?

Entries are checked periodically against their recorded URL. Sites that are no longer reachable, that redirect to unrelated content, or that have substantially changed their activity may be removed from the catalogue without notice. Operators who have moved their site to a new domain may submit an updated record via the standard form.

Does Ledger35 endorse or recommend listed sites?

No. Ledger35 is a directory, not a recommendation service. Inclusion in the catalogue means a submission was reviewed and accepted — it carries no implied endorsement, quality assessment, or assurance of suitability for any purpose. Users should conduct their own research before engaging with any listed operator.
