As we write this, we only have 49 listings on Lev You Lots.
"Only" is an interesting word. Because 49 is a lot. But at the same time, 49 places, events, makers, artists and groups barely scratches the surface of what Levy has to offer.
We have a lot more work to do. And on top of adding more places, we always need to make sure we're keeping things up-to-date enough that we're not sending people to places that aren't open yet - or sending them to the wrong place altogether.
That is a lot of work.
Creating a listing from scratch takes about an hour. And that's before you count any of the time spent designing, building the website.

In the interest of transparency, The Gherkin hasn't paid us for the listing. But we're working with them as a trial, to help us understand what business owners might want from their own.
To help you understand what makes up a listing, we've created a tool that breaks down all of the contents of a basic listing.
You can see how a listing is broken up, and the information that we need to gather to create one.
You can also see most (but not all!) all of the features available in a professional listing, to help you make a choice right for you and your business.
We're introducing professional listings at £99 per year, per place. Or £99 for a one-off event.
Recurring events that happen at the same time every week, month or year will be treated like a place and charged each year.
This might go up. And we'll let you know in good time if it does. To check the price is fair, we're keeping an eye on a few things:
If you're interesting in upgrading to a shiny new professional listing, send us a message.
