Build Multiple Directory Types from One WordPress Installation

Running separate websites for different directory niches wastes time, money, and server resources. CLDirectory solves this by letting you create unlimited directory types within a single WordPress installation.

Restaurant Directories

Service Booking Platforms

Hotel and Rental Directories

Automotive listings

Listing Cards That Convert Visitors into Customers

Your listing cards are the first impression visitors get of each business or service. Generic, template-driven cards blend into the background. CLDirectory gives you complete professional pre-defined layouts over how each listing appears in search results and category pages.

  • Set up your listing card as your own
  • Lightweight & faster performance

Three Display Layouts to Match How Your Visitors Search

CLDirectory lets you showcase your listings on creative display options such as grid, list, and map view.

Grid View: The grid layout option displays your directory listings on a grid with listing titles, thumbnail images, brief descriptions, contact information, and location.

List View: The list view presents directory listings in the form of a vertical text-based list format.

Map View: With the map view, the listings appear on interactive maps with a marker or pin for the show of geographical location.

  • Grid View
  • List View
  • Map View

Drag & Drop Single Page Builder

Create professional single listing pages without writing a single line of code. CLDirectory’s visual page builder lets you design exactly how individual listing pages appear to your visitors.
Simply drag elements into position and arrange sections in the order that makes sense for your directory type. Move the photo gallery above the description, place contact details in a sidebar, or position the map prominently at the top, whatever layout serves your audience best.

  • Rearrange content blocks like descriptions, galleries, maps, and contact sections
  • Control which custom fields display and where they appear
  • Adjust spacing, columns, and visual hierarchy
