Submit your tool to Dessign

Dessign.net is a WordPress site running since 2010 that now lists AI tools and software for designers, developers and marketers. Listings are paid, one time and permanent, and each listing page links out to the product with a followed link.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link $69 once, or $399 with newsletter and blog post

Is Dessign worth it?

A reasonable paid backlink if you sell an AI or design tool and have $69 to spend. The product link on listing pages is dofollow and the listing does not expire. Traffic numbers are the site's own claims and the homepage is crowded with similar AI tools, so expect little direct traffic. The $399 Pro package adds a newsletter slot, a written review and social posts, which only makes sense if the newsletter audience matches yours.

Who should submit to Dessign?

Suits AI tools, design tools, no code and marketing software that want a permanent followed link from an older domain. It suits less well developer infrastructure, mobile apps or B2B products aimed at large companies, and anyone who needs a free option, since free submissions have ended.

What you need before you submit

  • A live product URL
  • Payment of $69 or $399
  • No NSFW or adult products

How to submit to Dessign

  1. Open dessign.net/submit-tool
  2. Choose Single Product Listing ($69) or Pro ($399)
  3. Pay and send the product details
  4. Wait 1 to 2 business days for the listing to go live

Dessign: pros and cons

Pros

  • Dofollow product link, checked on several listing pages
  • One time fee, listing never expires
  • Fast publishing, 1 to 2 business days
  • Full refund if the product is not published

Cons

  • No free option
  • Homepage and categories are crowded with similar AI tools
  • Visitor and newsletter figures are self-reported
  • DR80 in the menu is the site's own marketing claim

Tips for Dessign

  • Start with the $69 listing and judge results before buying Pro
  • Write a clear one line description, since cards show only the opening sentence
  • Pick the category closest to your product so the listing appears there
  • The newsletter goes out once a month, at the start of the month, so time a Pro purchase for that
