Which Platform for Your Directory?
There are many ways to go about creating a directory website. Directory scripts, Software with Hosting, and Ready- Made Themes and Plugins.
Scripts: These are useful pre-packaged directory websites that can be used on your own server.
Software or SaaS (Software as a Service): The all combined 1-stop shop for directory websites. This is a service in which you receive the hosting included in the package price.
The software is pre-programmed and are usually monthly subscriptions (most convenient option for beginners).
Ready-Made Themes and Plugins: Excellent ready-made themes that will include certain features, but you will be responsible for getting your own hosting. In addition, you will also need to get your own preferred plugins.
