When submitting a site, please consider the following questions. The vast majority of sites submitted to this
Is there landscape design content on your site ? If there isn't, you're in the wrong category. If your site sells stuff to landscapers, you're in the wrong category (try Business: Industries: Construction and Maintenance: Materials and Supplies) Is the site just advertising for a local service ? There are two issues here. First, sites for local stores that do not offer online sales should go to the appropriate Regional/ category. This is the primary reason that sites don't get listed here. If you don't sell nationally, submit to an appropriate regional category. Second, a one-page web site with just information about a store, don’t belong in the directory. Is the site targeted at consumers ? Sites for wholesalers and distributors that do not sell to the general public go to Business/Industries/Wholesale ; sites for companies that make a product, but do not sell it to the general public directly, go to Business/Industries. Does the site have a list of services for sale ? If it doesn't, it doesn't belong in shopping Are prices posted or is there a reasonable process to get prices ? With landscape design, some sites may sell fixed priced designs, while others will require substantial interaction with the client before a price is derived. Can purchases be made from home ? This may be accomplished through a sophisticated shopping cart system, to a price list with a phone contact or just about anything in between. Would the site be likely to exist without sales ? This is another way of looking at whether the site belongs in shopping. Does the site have substantial original landscape design content ? This is not a requirement, but sites with substantial original content will be reviewed more favorably. Is the site only a collection of affiliate links only ? For a site with affiliate links to be listed, it should offer unique content Is the site a mirror of other sites ? Mirror sites contain the same content as another site, but have a different URL. We will only list sites once. Is the site substantially under construction ? If it is, please wait until you’ve finished before submitting. |
A landscape design provides a plan (or map) showing where plants should be installed to achieve a desired appearance. The selection of plants should consider the purpose of the garden, the preferences of the homeowner, the environment (climate zone) and the nature of the garden area (sunlight, type of soil, etc.).
