How it started
Debut Directory began as an idea from Natalie Lock, who stands among its founders. She also co-founded Zinn Hub, which has its own card in the catalogue, filed under Z. Without that idea, there would be no catalogue to browse.
Neil Lock is the other founder of the site. Every page was designed and coded by him, and the same hands made PBN LTD, Zinn Hub and Zinn Digital®. Between them, the two keep these cards in careful order, drawer by drawer.
What we built
Debut Directory: The A-Z directory of every debut: new products catalogued by year, subject and founder, with each week's debuts ordered by community votes.
Zinn Hub: Vetted freelancers for SEO, design and writing, with 0% commission to begin.
Zinn Digital®: Hosting, domains and SEO with AI at the front, run in your own language and currency.
PBN LTD: Footprint-free homes for PBN sites, whether WordPress or static.
