The first Directify template built for people

Every other directory template displays businesses or things. The Members template displays people — and that changes the whole design. Circular profile photos lead every card, names carry credential suffixes, roles and organizations sit where a business card would put them, and the signature A–Z index strip makes a thousand-member directory feel browsable in seconds.

The result reads like a modern association platform: warm enough for a congregation, professional enough for a bar association.

Who this template is for

  • Professional associations — the public "find a member" directory that justifies dues
  • Churches and faith communities — congregation directories with groups and ministries
  • Chambers of commerce — the member roster that doubles as a local business index
  • Alumni networks — searchable graduate directories by year, location, and industry
  • Teams and organizations — a polished public staff directory

Built for finding people

  • Photo-first member cards — avatar, name with credentials, role and organization, location, expertise pills, and contact actions in one scannable card
  • A–Z index browsing — the signature member-directory interaction, one tap to any letter
  • Group and chapter browsing — starter group tags (Board, Mentors, Volunteers…) plus categories for chapters and departments
  • Contact-forward profiles — email, LinkedIn, and website actions up top, with bio, expertise, and details beneath
  • Mentoring filter — surface members who've opted in to mentoring with a green availability badge

Underneath sits the full Directify platform: hosting, automatic SEO with schema markup, moderated member submissions, paid and featured placements, blog, custom pages, and analytics.

Frequently asked questions

What can I build with the members template?

Association member directories, church and congregation directories, chamber of commerce member listings, alumni networks, staff and team directories, and any "find a person" directory where profiles, roles, and contact details are the content.

Can members claim and update their own profiles?

Yes. Members can submit their profile through a moderated flow — you approve before anything goes live — and you can charge for submissions or premium profile placements if your model calls for it.

What profile fields are included?

Selecting the template auto-creates the member field set — role/title, organization, credentials, location, email, phone, LinkedIn, areas of expertise, languages, member-since, and a mentoring-availability flag. You can add, remove, or edit any field.

Can I organize members by chapter, department, or group?

Yes. Categories handle chapters and departments, and the template ships with starter group tags (Board, Mentor, Volunteer, Speaker, and more) that power the homepage's browse-by-group section and filters.

How does this compare to membership software like Wild Apricot?

Dedicated membership platforms bundle dues management and event tools at a higher price point. Directify focuses on the public-facing directory itself — a fast, SEO-friendly member directory you fully control, included in every plan alongside 13 other templates.

Is the members template included in my plan?

Yes — all templates come with every Directify plan at no extra fee. Build your member directory during the free 7-day trial and switch templates anytime.
