Directory Listing Website Template

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.
