The house rules
Spots are earned. That's the whole idea.
What this is
Earnaspot is a gallery of well-designed websites — 102 of them right now, each with its full-page screenshot, the palette pulled from that screenshot, and a short editorial note on why the design works. It exists for two kinds of people: designers and founders looking for real reference, and site owners who think their work deserves a second look.
How a site gets in
A person opens every applied site and actually uses it — there is no scoring script and no volume target. What earns the spot is commitment: a site that made real choices and carried them all the way through. Safe and merely well-executed is precisely what the wall has no room for. And every decline names its reason, because a bare "no" teaches nobody anything.
Money can move a site up the queue; it cannot move one onto the wall. The fast-track fee is returned whole whenever a site is declined, and there is no featured tier, no sponsored row, no rate card — the moment acceptance could be bought, a gallery like this would be worthless.
About the links
The link on every listing is a plain, followed link — no qualifiers in the markup, because nothing on the wall is an advertisement. That policy only survives while the review stays real, which is one more reason it does. Site owners tend to notice the visits arriving; that's the wall doing its job.
The colors under each card
The row of round spots under every screenshot is that site's own palette, read from the pixels of the capture rather than from anyone's brand guidelines. Follow a spot and you'll land on every site in the gallery that leans on the same hue — it's the honest version of browsing by color.
Made the cut?
Listed sites can show a small badge that links back to their spot. It's entirely optional and changes nothing about the listing — some owners like having proof the site earned something.
