Custom Directory WordPress Theme
Searchable listings, a map view and featured spots for directories
A directory earns its keep in the moment someone finds what they came for, whether that's a dog-friendly patio, a licensed electrician in the next town or a fellow member who speaks Portuguese. Foxco builds directory sites a WordPress theme with listing pages that carry hours, photos, contact details and a map pin, plus keyword search with filters for category, location and the features your audience cares about. A map view shows what's nearby, a submission form lets businesses add themselves pending your approval and featured spots give you something to sell from day one. It's $999 installed and configured, so the structure is right before you spend months filling it.

Directory theme questions
Do you use an off-the-shelf directory template?
We use our own: Foxco's directory framework handles listings, search and maps, then gets built out with your brand, categories, filters and content so it fits your audience instead of looking like an old phone book.
When can the directory go live?
7-10 days is typical after your logo, photos and content land in our inbox. If you need to launch around an event or a season, rush work is possible when bandwidth allows.
Can businesses pay for a listing or an upgrade?
Featured listing spots and a submission form with admin approval are built in, so you can sell upgrades on your own terms. Automated paid plans with renewals and self-serve checkout are available as a custom build.
Can you import our existing list of businesses?
A starter set of listings is set up during the build. Bulk importing a spreadsheet with hundreds or thousands of entries, including placing every address on the map, is handled as a custom project.
Whoever is hunting for that dog-friendly patio has about two minutes and a restless dog, so every listing has to show the answer at a glance.
Listings with the useful details
Each listing page holds the name, a short description, hours, phone, website, photos, amenities and a map pin. You decide which fields matter for your directory, like license numbers for contractors or wheelchair access for venues. Those fields turn into filters people can search on, which is where a niche directory beats a general one.
Search and map working together
Visitors type a keyword, pick a category and narrow by city or features, then flip to the map view to see what's close. Results load quickly on a phone, which matters because plenty of directory visits come from someone standing on a sidewalk deciding where to go next.
A directory that pays its way
Foxco gives you featured spots at the top of category pages, a submission form for new businesses and a claim-this-listing request for owners who want to update their info. Those three tools give you something to sell from the start. Paid plans with automatic renewals can be added as a custom project once the directory has an audience worth paying for.
Listings people can trust and use.
