Portfolio85 is a web directory maintained by an editorial team that reviews and indexes websites from across the open internet. Our work is straightforward: locate sites that are live, purposeful, and findable, and file them under one of 22 clearly labelled sections.
We started with the observation that the web is large and navigating it by search engine alone is imperfect. A curated directory with consistent editorial standards gives readers a complementary tool — one that is browsable rather than algorithmic.
Every site in Portfolio85 has passed a basic editorial check: the URL resolves, the site describes what it does, and the content is publicly accessible. We do not charge for listings and do not sell positions within the directory.
Our 22 sections cover a broad spectrum, from the Gaming Desk and Medical Beat to the Travel Desk and Publishing Desk. The flagship Digital Bureau hosts the widest range of general-interest sites. Specialist desks like Records Bureau and Property Bureau are intentionally compact — we list only what we can stand behind.
Portfolio85 is open for submissions. If you operate a website that belongs in one of our sections, use the Add a Site form on any listing page. An editor will review your submission and respond through the queue.
