PaidDofollowChecked
DR is Domain Rating by Ahrefs: a 0–100 score of a site’s backlinks, higher is stronger. It isn’t a Google metric. Tranco rank is a research top-sites ranking: lower means more popular. How we check each directory
What to prepare for design directories
- High-resolution screenshots or preview images (no blurry crops)
- A short loop or video if your product has motion
- Links to a Figma community file, Dribbble or Behance page if relevant
- Licence terms if you sell assets or templates
