Questions, answered

Does it cost anything to list my site?

No — adding your website to Gridly is free and stays free. Choose a section, paste your URL, and you are on the grid.

What exactly is Gridly?

Gridly is a hand-built web directory: a curated grid of websites sorted into sections by people, in the tradition of the early-web indexes.

How are sites arranged?

Each site is filed by hand into one of 22 sections — 794 listings in all — so you can browse by topic instead of typing the perfect search query.

How do I submit my website?

Hit “Submit a site”, choose a section and paste your URL. Leave the description blank and we will fetch one from your page automatically.

Is every listing checked?

Yes. A human reviews submissions so the grid stays genuinely useful and free of spam.

About Gridly

Gridly is a free, hand-built directory of the open web — 790 websites placed by people, not algorithms, into 22 clear sections. Think of it as a tidy grid you can actually browse: pick a section block, scan the listings, and rediscover useful sites you would never type the right words to find in a search box. Every site is reviewed by a person and carries a short description taken from the page itself, so the grid stays honest and readable instead of collapsing into link spam. Whether you are hunting for trustworthy resources or want a permanent, free home for your own link, Gridly is built to be fast, clear, and genuinely human.
