Directory Websites
We design and build directory websites with search, filters and listing management — as trusted by belperlocal.co.uk and online-directory.co.uk.
Overview
Directory websites bring together listings, categories and local search into one easy-to-browse site. We've built and maintain directory platforms including belperlocal.co.uk and online-directory.co.uk, so we understand exactly what it takes to make a directory both useful for visitors and manageable for the person running it.
Our Process
- Define your categories, listing types and how listings will be submitted or curated
- Design the listing card, search/filter experience and detail page
- Build the directory structure with schema markup for each listing
- Populate initial listings and test search/filter behaviour
- Launch, plus ongoing support for adding categories or listings
Frequently Asked Questions

Many of our directory clients monetise with featured/paid listings or a simple subscription model — we can advise what suits your niche.

belperlocal.co.uk and online-directory.co.uk are both directory platforms we've designed and continue to support.
