What it does
Running a directory means organizing a lot of entries so visitors can actually find what they need. This theme handles that with a clean, organized layout, multiple listing display styles and advanced search with filtering, so people can narrow results by several criteria at once. Integrated map functionality shows where each business or event is located, which helps visitors who are searching by area.
The look of the site is controlled through a theme panel where you can change colors, fonts, layouts and other settings without writing code. The design is responsive, so listings display properly on desktops, tablets and phones. Listing submission lets users or clients add their own entries, which helps a directory grow over time. The theme also works with WPBakery Page Builder and Contact Form 7 for building pages and adding forms.
Best for
