Select a package, add any extras you need, then order online — or get in touch to discuss a custom scope.
A directory is not a normal website. It is a database with a front end, and it lives or dies on how quickly someone can find the one listing they actually want.
I build directory and listing sites with WordPress, Elementor Pro and Crocoblock's JetEngine - the same stack behind well-known rental and property platforms, and the one I use for client directory work.
That means custom post types and custom content types modelled around your data, AJAX filters that narrow thousands of listings without a page reload, map views with geolocation, relations between listings and owners or categories, and front-end forms so listing owners can submit and manage their own entries without touching the admin.
Every build is structured so it stays fast as the database grows. Query scoping, indexed meta, caching and lazy loading are designed in from the start - not retrofitted when the site slows down at 500 listings.
Typical projects: business directories, property and rental portals, car dealer listings, job boards, member and supplier databases, event catalogues, and marketplace-style sites with owner dashboards.
Who it's for: founders launching a directory or marketplace, associations publishing member or supplier lists, and businesses moving a listings database off a spreadsheet or a slow legacy plugin.
Budgeting? My directory and booking website cost guide breaks down what each package includes and how long it takes. Listings that also take reservations? See booking and reservation websites.
Tens of thousands, provided the data structure and queries are built correctly from the start - which is the main thing that separates a directory that stays fast from one that crawls at 500 entries. I design the structure around your data before building anything.
Yes, from Standard upward. Owners get a front-end form to submit listings and a dashboard to edit them, with optional admin moderation before anything goes live. They never see the WordPress admin.
Yes - the Premium tier includes paid or featured listings through WooCommerce, either as one-off payments, subscriptions, or credit packages. Tell me your model and I will build it around that.
From Standard upward, yes: map view, geolocation and radius search, so someone can find listings within a set distance of where they are.
Yes. Send me a CSV, spreadsheet or the current site and I will map the fields and import them. Import volume is covered in each package.
Pick a package and check out, or request a quote if the scope is unusual. I then map your data structure and confirm it with you before building - getting that right first saves rework later.
A clear idea of what a listing contains, any existing data, and examples of directories you like. If you are unsure how to structure it, that is exactly what the first stage is for.
