The classic directory layout, refined

Default New takes the structure that made our Default template the most-launched design on Directify and modernizes every detail. The typography system is rebuilt around a cleaner scale, spacing is more generous so listings breathe, and the whole experience feels current without chasing trends.

It's the template to choose when your audience expects polish — professional services, B2B catalogs, and directories where design quality signals trustworthiness.

Who this template is for

  • Professional directories — consultants, agencies, lawyers, accountants
  • B2B service directories where presentation influences buying decisions
  • Upgraded relaunches — if your existing directory looks dated, switching here is a one-click facelift

Design details that matter

  • Refined typography system — a deliberate type scale that keeps long listing pages readable
  • Enhanced mobile experience — most directory traffic is mobile; this template treats it as the primary canvas
  • Improved accessibility — contrast and focus states that work for every visitor
  • Modern color palette — neutral by default, fully yours via the theme editor

Like every Directify template, the visual layer sits on top of the complete platform: hosting, automatic SEO, listing submissions, paid placements, blog, custom pages, and analytics are all included.

From idea to live directory

Describe your directory niche and Directify's AI generates the site in about 60 seconds — categories, starter pages, and structure included. Then pick Default New, tune colors and the hero in the live theme editor, and start adding listings by import, submission, or hand.

Frequently asked questions

How is Default New different from the Default template?

Default New keeps the same proven structure but refines the details — a modern type scale, improved spacing rhythm, better accessibility, and an updated color palette. If you like classic layouts but want a more current feel, this is the one.

Is this listing template included in my plan?

Yes. All 13 templates are included in every Directify plan at no extra cost, and you can evaluate any of them during the free 7-day trial.

Can I preview my directory in different templates before deciding?

Yes. Switching templates is instant and non-destructive — your listings, categories, and settings stay intact — so you can flip between templates and compare them on your real content.

Is the template optimized for SEO?

Yes. Every Directify template renders server-side with clean HTML, automatic meta tags, XML sitemaps, schema.org markup for listings, and fast load times — the foundations search engines reward.

Can visitors submit their own listings?

Yes. Listing submissions with moderation are built into the platform, and you can charge for submissions or offer featured placements on any template.
