Webflow for directory websites? Absolutely!

One of my favorite things to do is show the many capabilities of Webflow…and today, I’m sharing how wonderful Webflow is for creating directory websites. Here are some directory or listing-based websites I’ve created using my ever-competent friend, Webflow.

Examples of Webflow directory websites

LandHolders

LandHolders is a modern Webflow template for real estate agents and agencies, featuring responsive design, unique layouts, and easy customization.

Curated X

Curated X is a Webflow template for curators and content creators, offering customizable pages, design assets, and easy CMS integration.

Stock X

Stock X is a Webflow template for photographers and stock image providers. It features 17 pages, smooth animations, and easy customization.

LocalListing X

LocalListing X is a modern Webflow template for local directories, featuring 24 pages, SEO-focused design, CMS, and eCommerce support.

How do I use Webflow to create directory websites?

On the sites I develop, users can submit a free listing, or they can pay for an upgraded listing using e-commerce functionality (because Webflow is also awesome at ecommerce). When a company submits a listing, it creates a post that’s pending, for the administrator to approve. And on the sites above, all of these listings are visible to anyone who visits the website.

With a Webflow directory website, the options are endless. Coupled with great design and keyword-rich content, the functionality of your directory website can be set up the best way that works for you:

  • Businesses can create a variety of free or paid listings (with integrated checkout)
  • Listings can be approved by the administrator, or automatically
  • Listings can be set up to expire in a set timeframe, based on the plan chosen

“Thank you for your steadfast support and expertise.

“You took the original vision, a handful of images, and our colors and crafted something that was so much more. The quality of our site has given me the confidence I need to write new blog posts and drive traffic to it as a resource. Often, people I speak with that have navigated the pages offer unprompted praise. I am grateful for the initial work and the ongoing maintenance and revisions we make together.”

“Working with Mo has been a smooth, effective, happy process from start to finish.

“He is a great listener who took the time not just to understand what we wanted done, but also to get to know our ‘organizational personality.’ He executed what we wanted flawlessly. We tried not to have too many last minute, ‘urgent’ requests, but they did happen (sorry, Mo!)—and he always helped immediately! Knowing that he's watching over our site's backend has also been amazing so we don't have to worry about it.”
