Questions about design showcases
What gets accepted into a design gallery?
Galleries feature websites with strong visual design, clear typography and polish on mobile. Submit your best page, not a work in progress.
Is a website built with a builder eligible?
Yes. Galleries credit the website itself, and designers browse them for inspiration, so a feature brings visits and often mentions on other design blogs.
