About & Submission Policy

Cadence96 operates as a curated web directory — a structured catalogue of websites organised by subject and maintained in the manner of an institutional archive. The name reflects a commitment to consistent, measured cataloguing: each submission is reviewed before it is filed, and each record group is maintained to the same standard across the collection.

The directory holds 826 reviewed entries distributed across 22 subject record groups. These range from the General Accessions & Sundry Listings — the archive largest and most eclectic deposit — to specialist collections such as Oral Health & Dental Custody and Identity & Credential Registry. Every entry is catalogued by the primary subject of the deposited website, ensuring that browsers can navigate by category with confidence.

Cadence96 accepts submissions from any operator. Submission is free of charge and open at all times via the Add a Site page. Each submission enters a review queue, where it is assessed for category fit and general quality before accession. Sites that pass review are filed under the appropriate record group and become browseable immediately.

The archive does not rank entries by traffic, authority, or payment. Sites are listed in the order in which they were accessioned. Cadence96 is not a search engine — it is a directory in the traditional sense, maintained for those who prefer structured, categorical browsing over algorithmic retrieval.

Cadence96 is part of a wider network of independently maintained web directories. Each directory in the network holds the same inventory but presents it under a distinct design and editorial voice.
