Listed in Unexpected Category

Hi there.

I submitted our company web site (http://www.ultimatepresence.co.uk) this side of the new year, and to my surprise, I today noticed that we'd been listed. I'm very pleased about this, but I have a question regarding the fact that the site appeared in an unexpected category.

I cannot remember exactly which category I submitted for, but it was something surrounding 'web design'. We have however, popped up under our home town of Billingham, at http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/Cleveland/Billingham/.

This is not a problem at all, I'm merely trying to ascertain whether somebody else, some time ago has submitted the site to that category or whether Dmoz editors simply move sites if they deem another category would be more sutiable.

I'd genuinely appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on the matter.

Keep up the good work!

Jonny

The site was originally submitted to http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/Uni...uters_and_Internet/Web_Design_and_Development however in the regional part of the directory we list companies based on physical locations (as opposed to alleged coverage area etc).

As yours is Billingham that is where the editor moved it to and listed it within.

Thanks for clearing that up so quickly. Could I ask, is it possible at any point to be listed in more than one category, or is it strictly limited to one?

I'm sure I've read the answer to that somewhere on the site, I just can't find it right now.

Thanks.

Yes you can suggest one more listing other than Regional - most likely [you should make the final decision as I only looked at your site for a few seconds] in a subcategory in http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers/

Because you originally suggested it at NE Region level and because we could find no statement claiming wider coverage, we deduced that you only serve the NE Region. That makes your website eligible for a locality listing which is what you've got.

If this conclusion was incorrect and you actually serve the entire UK, then by all means additionally suggest your website to an appropriate UK level Internet category.

It's great that you claim to conform to US accessibility standards. Had you thought of viewing the website in Firefox and then increasing the font size?

There's a sweeping statement in there about meeting US accessibility standards. And you're right it doesn't, and it's something we'll look into. Either the statement shouldn't be there, or it should meet the standards.

To my best knowledge though, it does meet the minimum requirements for the UK. Thanks for pointing this out.

Do I need to submit the site to a second category differently to how I did the first one, or do I simply repeat the process?

I don't want to harm my current listing by doing something wrong.

Just repeat the process please.
