Giftay — a directory of the independents, not everywhere.

The places round the corner, not everywhere.
Search anywhere else and the chains come first, then everything else, ordered by whoever spends the most on being found. Giftay is being built to list only independents: the one-off shops, cafes, salons, studios and services with one owner and no head office.
A smaller list, on purpose — every business on it is somebody’s own.
What it will do
Four things, done properly.
Ranked, and aware of where you are
What is good and what is close, in one list. The nearer places first.
What customers actually say
Posts from people who have been, and a plain summary of what they add up to.
Tags for the things people ask about
Not a drop-down of categories written by somebody in an office.
Free to browse, and it will stay that way
No paywall on looking. Not a launch offer.
How the list will be built
Built from where you are standing.
No region to pick. The list draws around you and moves when you do, so near enough to walk is the default rather than a filter you have to set.

Giftay covers getting found. Three more products from Neirfeno cover the rest of what an independent business runs on.
