Site Atlas Family

The SiteAtlas Family

SiteAtlas is not just one website. It is the centre of a small family of specialist websites, each using the same underlying archive of website screenshots while concentrating on a different part of the web.

At the heart of the family is SiteAtlas.co.uk.

SiteAtlas provides the technology, screenshot archive and common infrastructure behind the other sites. It photographs websites, checks and records them, and builds a visual history showing how individual websites change over time.

The other members of the family take selected parts of that archive and organise them for particular subjects or audiences.

SiteAtlas — the complete archive

SiteAtlas.co.uk is the parent site.

Its purpose is broader than any of the specialist sites. It is a visual directory and historical archive of websites, recording screenshots over time rather than simply maintaining a conventional collection of links.

A current screenshot can show what a website looks like today, while older screenshots can provide a record of how it previously appeared.

SiteAtlas also provides the membership and technical infrastructure used across the family.

1-2-3-4-5 — the UK construction directory

1-2-3-4-5.com concentrates on the UK construction, building and home improvement industries.

Its categories include businesses involved in areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, doors and windows, building materials, contractors, architects and other suppliers and specialists connected with buildings and their improvement.

Rather than attempting to cover the whole web, 1-2-3-4-5 provides a construction-focused view of the SiteAtlas archive.

This makes it easier to browse related companies visually and to discover businesses that might otherwise be buried inside a much larger general directory.

5-4-3-2-1 — international property and related businesses

5-4-3-2-1.com has a more international outlook.

It concentrates particularly on property and related businesses around the world.

Some of its subjects naturally overlap with 1-2-3-4-5. Kitchens, furniture, architecture and property services, for example, do not stop at national borders.

The distinction is primarily one of focus: 1-2-3-4-5 is centred on the UK construction market, while 5-4-3-2-1 provides an international view.

Together they allow similar subjects to be

At its heart is a simple idea: websites change constantly, but most of those changes disappear without leaving any visible record. SiteAtlas periodically takes screenshots of websites and builds a visual history of them, allowing a site to be seen not simply as…
