Compass89 is a web directory that indexes sites from across the open web and files them under 22 subject precincts. It is designed as a reference tool — a gazetteer of the web — giving visitors a systematic way to locate and navigate online resources by category.
No. Compass89 accepts listings at no charge. You supply a domain and select the most relevant precinct; the team reviews and files the entry in the index. No account or payment is required at any stage.
The directory is divided into 22 precincts covering distinct subject areas, including Capital & Finance, Medicine & Clinics, Software & Computing, and Lodging & Travel. Each site is filed under the precinct that best describes its primary activity, making the index navigable by subject rather than by keyword alone.
Review periods vary with submission volume. Most entries are assessed within a few working days. Once filed, listings appear permanently in the directory and in the sitemap. You will not receive a notification email; check the relevant precinct to confirm your entry has been charted.
To request an update or removal, contact Compass89 directly using the details on the About page. The directory aims to keep filed entries accurate and current, and corrections are processed on a rolling basis.
The current index contains 829 active entries spread across 22 subject precincts. The directory grows as new submissions are reviewed and filed. The total count is updated as entries are added or retired.
No. Compass89 is a neutral reference directory. It does not rank, score, or editorially endorse any listed site. Entries are charted by domain within each precinct; visitors are encouraged to assess sites independently using the directory as a starting point.
