Idea to live directory
in three steps
Describe it
One sentence is enough. "A directory of wedding vendors in Texas with pricing and reviews."
AI builds it
Template, categories, custom fields, sample listings, SEO — generated and assembled in about a minute.
- 6 categories & 14 tags
- 8 custom fields
- 5 sample listings
Make it yours
Add real listings (CSV, Google Sheets, Chrome extension), tweak the design live, connect your domain.
16 templates, built for real niches
Not generic themes — each template is designed around how its niche actually works: maps for local, dates for events, profiles for members, galleries for weddings.
Your brand,
not a template look
Change colors, fonts, hero, homepage sections and footer in a live editor — see every change on your real site before you publish. No CSS required (but custom code is there if you want it).
- Live preview on your actual content
- Curated palettes & font pairings — or build your own
- Reorder homepage sections like building blocks
A directory is a business.
Run it like one.
Connect your own Stripe, Lemon Squeezy or Creem account and charge the businesses you list. Directify takes 0% of your revenue — ever.
Paid listings
Sell one-time or recurring listing plans. Submissions publish automatically on payment — and unpublish if a subscription lapses.
Sponsorships & ads
Sell hero placements, "first listing" slots and banner campaigns with built-in scheduling and targeting.
Members & paywalls
Password-protect your directory or put premium content behind access — perfect for communities and curated data.
Lead collection
Capture inquiries with custom forms on any listing — export them, or route them anywhere with webhooks.
Claims & upgrades
Import real businesses, let owners claim their listing, then upsell featured placement — the classic directory playbook.
Built to rank, built to scale
SEO that's done for you
Clean URLs, sitemaps, meta tags, structured data and instant typo-tolerant search out of the box.
Blog & AI content
Publish articles, generate listing descriptions with AI, and keep the content engine running.
Import at scale
CSV import, two-way Google Sheets sync, a Chrome extension, and a full REST API.
Analytics built in
Visitors, top pages, referrers and devices — privacy-friendly, no Google Analytics required.
For developers & power users: REST API, webhooks, custom code injection, and an MCP server for AI agents.
Loved by directory builders
“Before discovering Directify, I had used other directory platforms that were complicated, restrictive, and difficult to scale. Building and expanding a directory often felt like working around the platform's limitations instead of focusing on growing the business. Directify changed that experience completely. The platform is straightforward, easy to use, and scalable enough to support several different directory concepts. I have used it to build One Love Pages, Irie Pages, Taste of Negril, and other online directory brands. I have personally watched ideas from users — including some of my own — be implemented within a week. Questions are often answered within hours. Directify has given me the confidence to stop viewing online directories as an optional side project and make them a significant part of my long-term business model.”
“Directify is the best no-code software to build and deploy directories with no hassle of hosting. One of my directory ideas is live and I am already working on the next one. Love it, and I'm looking forward to all the features on the roadmap.”
“It was one of my goals to build a platform where people will find deals on software and SaaS to save money. I tried several WordPress plugins, themes and also stand-alone coupon web scripts but none worked for me. Some kept breaking and some are too complex to handle. Directify made it very simple to build and manage the platform, Core Web Deals — almost 400 listings and 100+ users who saved money. I made affiliate commission from a few products that I am using as well as promoting.”
“I had the business idea for a long time, but never found a tool that was able to do what I needed. With Directify (and the awesome support) I was finally able to start building and launching my dream business.”
“I launched YogaLife.World in under a month — four months later it had 120,000+ page views and 39,000 visitors from 110+ countries, with affiliate revenue from month one. Directify gave me the foundation to launch quickly, but the real value was being able to customize and build around it. YogaLife.World became much more than a simple directory — it became the foundation for a scalable discovery platform.”

What is a directory website builder?
A directory website builder is software that lets you create a searchable directory of listings — businesses, products, locations, professionals, anything — without writing code. Directify is an AI-powered directory website builder: you describe your idea, the AI generates your categories, custom fields, and sample listings, and you launch in minutes.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Describe your idea and the AI builds the whole site. Everything is editable from a visual panel — design, content, settings. Custom code is available if you ever want it, but it's never required.
How do I make money with my directory?
Charge businesses for listings (one-time or subscriptions), sell featured placements and ad slots, collect leads, or gate access. Payments go straight to your own Stripe, Lemon Squeezy or Creem account — Directify takes no cut.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes — connect any domain you own on the Starter plan and above, with guided DNS setup and automatic SSL. The free plan includes a yourname.directify.app subdomain.
Can I import existing listings?
Yes — bulk import from CSV, keep a two-way sync with Google Sheets, add listings while browsing with the Chrome extension, or use the REST API.
What does the free plan include?
One directory with up to 10 listings and 5 categories, AI setup, all 16 templates and the theme editor, hosted on a Directify subdomain. No card required. Paid plans start at $12/mo with a 7-day free trial.
