It used to be that the Yellow Pages was the directory everyone in a city used to find a business when they needed repairs or home improvement or any other service. Today, people search online, and when they find a good online directory for their city, they make it one of their frequent stops on the web.

Well-known WordPress developer, Maulana Malik has created a WordPress theme that makes it simple to build an attractive directory for your town, where you can sell listings to local businesses.

Malik’s Locate Press – Business Directory Portal theme lets you build a hub where an entire community can find the goods and services they need, and where merchants can be found when people search. You play matchmaker, and you charge merchants a fee for advertising in your directory.

This theme makes your job easy. It has been designed specifically for this purpose. So you can create merchant listings local businesses crave:
• It’s Google Maps ready so visitors can see where a store is located.
• The control panel is designed to make it simple to insert a new listing in just a few minutes
• It’s responsive to mobile devices, so smartphone and tablet users can use it easily
• It supports dynamic geo-location. When a smartphone user clicks on a listing, they can get directions from wherever they are to the store.
• It includes a sliding photo gallery, so you can show multiple snapshots of the merchant location.
• It includes a pricing table so you can offer listings to merchants online.

There’s a lot more to this theme. For now, it’s enough to say that for under $20, you get a developer’s license that lets you build, own and sell as many directory sites as you want.
