accessplace.com is a two part resource containing a website directory which is a collection of hand selected websites as well as a UK business database.

Early history

accessplace.com first appeared in 1999 as a collection of individually selected websites that the author considered to be the "best of the web". The collection was added to over the years to finally reach more than 2000 websites spanning 200 plus topics divided between 19 primary categories.

accessplace.com today

Today, accessplace.com uniquely combines this directory of editor’s choice websites with a locally organised and professionally vetted UK business database.

Website directory

The manually edited directory of websites spans both popular and niche subjects, directing users to the best the web has to offer on a wide variety of subjects. The websites listed are primarily from the United States although UK, Australian, Canadian and other English language websites are also represented.

Business database

The business database provides easy access to local businesses, service providers, retailers, charities, clubs and organisations throughout the UK. Divided into just over 200 categories, the entries are organized by region and then by city or town. Each entry is displayed with full contact details and colour maps.

The business database is provided under license by Thomson Directories. accessplace.com's use of the database offers the user a different way of accessing the information, however, by allowing the user to drill down by category and then location. A search function is also provided offering a "who, what, where" database search.

Getting listed

Any UK business, charity, club or organization can apply for a free listing in the database. All applications are vetted by Thomson Directories. Applications for listings in the website directory are open to any English language site. These submissions undergo a strict review process by the accessplace.com editorial team, with approval being reserved for those considered to be the best resources on that topic.
