Bindery72 is a web directory maintained on editorial principles: each site listed here has been reviewed for active operation and assigned to one of 22 subject sections before publication. The project does not charge for inclusion, nor does it accept payment to influence listing placement. Its criteria are activity, category relevance, and a functioning web presence.
The name draws on the craft of bookbinding — the practice of gathering loose leaves into ordered, permanent volumes. The directory applies a similar discipline to the open web, assembling what is otherwise scattered and ephemeral into a structured and browsable form.
The directory currently holds 838 listings spread across 22 sections. The largest sections — Wagers & Chance (118 sites) and Miscellany & General (189 sites) — reflect the areas of the web where publishing activity is densest. Smaller sections such as Land & Property and Documents & Credentials represent more specialist corners of the commercial web.
Submissions are accepted from site owners at any time using the form provided. New listings are reviewed before publication and assigned to the most appropriate section. Bindery72 does not guarantee inclusion, but all submissions are read and considered. The directory is updated regularly as new submissions are approved.
Bindery72 is published as a public reference. It is freely accessible without registration and contains no paywalled content. The directory is intended for researchers, industry professionals, and general readers with an interest in the structure and range of the contemporary web.
