Who reads this

Your message lands with the same editors who write and curate the directory, not a support desk or an outsourced inbox. That matters for a couple of reasons. When you flag a wrong credit, the person fixing it is the one who published it, so there's no game of telephone. And when you pitch a designer or a styleframe, it's read by someone who looks at this work every week and has opinions about it.

We keep the operation deliberately small. There's no sales team, no media kit, and nothing on this site is for sale, which is why we can say no to placements without it costing us anything. The flip side: bandwidth is limited, so we triage. Corrections and removal requests jump the queue. Thoughtful pitches get read when we surface for air. Mass outreach and templated "collaboration" emails get archived, usually unread, and we won't feel bad about it. If you've taken the time to look at the work and have something specific to say about it, that comes through immediately, and it's the kind of message we actually look forward to opening. So skip the preamble about our "great platform" and just tell us the thing.

What to write about

• 01

  Corrections & feedback

  Spotted a wrong credit, a broken link, or a factual slip in a guide? Tell us which page and what is off. We fix verified corrections fast and note substantial changes on the About page.

• 02

  Designers: attribution & removal

  Every designer profile links back to the artist's own portfolio for full credits. If you are a featured designer and want your attribution updated, a different work shown, or your profile removed entirely, email us from an address tied to your portfolio domain and we will action it within a few working days.

• 03

  Collaboration & writing

  Pitches for guest guides, interviews, or collaboration proposals on UI, layout, motion, and typography. We don't run sponsored posts or paid reviews, so please don't pitch those.

• 04

  Press & licensing

  Citing Art of Styleframe, or asking about reuse of our editorial writing or charts? Reach out and we'll point you to what's reusable and how to credit it.

Before you hit send

A quick note on what works and what doesn't. We're a tiny team, so we can't take on guest posts, paid placements, or link swaps, and pitches like that get a polite no. What we do read closely: a designer or studio we've missed, a styleframe that deserves a wider audience, a factual slip in something we published, or a sharp disagreement with a take. Honestly, the corrections are our favorite emails. Tell us what you saw and where, and point us at the source if there is one.

Replies aren't instant. One person reads the inbox, usually between other work, so give it a few working days before nudging us again. If your message is about your own work, a direct link to the piece helps more than a long write-up. We'd rather watch the reel than read about it.

It helps to know which pile your message falls into, because the reply speed genuinely differs. Corrections and designer removal requests usually get answered the same day or the next one, since they're short and there's nothing to weigh up. Freelance and commission enquiries take longer, typically three to five working days, because someone has to check calendars before answering. Pitches for guest guides sit in a batch we go through roughly once a fortnight, so a two-week silence there isn't a no, it's just a queue. Tool bug reports get triaged fast even when the fix doesn't ship fast, and we'll tell you honestly if something is going to sit in the backlog for a month.

If you're writing about paid work, put the practical details in the first message rather than waiting for a discovery call. A budget range, even a rough one, saves both of us an email round trip and a fair amount of politeness. Add the timeline, including whether the date is fixed or aspirational, a link to the product or brand so we can see what we'd be designing for, the deliverable format you actually need, and who signs off. Four sentences covering those is more useful than four paragraphs of context. We won't share the numbers, and quoting a range doesn't lock you into it.

For a styleframe critique, send the frame itself as a link and tell us what you were trying to prove with it. Feedback on a frame with no stated intent is just taste, and taste isn't much use to you. If the frame is part of a sequence, say where it sits, because a frame that reads flat on its own can be doing exactly the right job at second 12 of a film.

Some things reliably don't get a reply, and we'd rather say so than leave you wondering. Link-building outreach, guest post offers with a placement fee attached, generic SEO audits we didn't ask for, "I noticed a broken link on your page" emails that are really link pitches, AI-written compliments about our recent article that never name the article, and anything sent to a scraped address with our brand name merged into a template. None of those get read past the second line. We don't report them and we don't reply to them. If your message is genuine but reads like one of these at a glance, lead with the specific detail that proves otherwise, and it'll land fine.

Common questions

How long until you reply?

Usually two to four working days. One editor reads the inbox, so a slow week happens. If it's a removal or a correction, flag that in the subject line and we'll bump it up the queue.

Do you accept guest posts or sponsored articles?

No. We don't run sponsored posts, paid reviews, or link insertions, and we don't sell placements in the directory. Every designer and styleframe is here because an editor chose it, not because someone paid. Pitches for those get a quick no, so save yourself the email.

I'm a designer. Can I submit my own work?

Yes, and we'd like to see it. Send a direct link to the reel or project rather than a deck. We weigh the work on its own terms, and a strong piece from an unknown studio beats a weak one with a big logo behind it. We can't promise a feature, but we read every submission.

Something about me is wrong or I want my profile gone.

Email us from an address on your portfolio domain so we can confirm it's you, then tell us exactly what to change or remove. Verified requests get handled within a few working days, no questions asked.
