Directory WordPress Theme

Description

Best Directory WordPress Theme 2020

First version of our Directory WordPress theme was released in January 2013 as an absolutely unique theme concept, first time ever on themeforest. You’re able to easily set up an online directory portal listing categorized items of any type – companies, shops, websites and so on. We’ve spent quite a long time developing the theme as many things were changed several times to make it right.

WordPress Directory Theme was continuously updated with new features, it was getting better and better. Over the two years Directory WordPress theme received almost 100 free updates, which is remarkable.

In the beginning of 2015 we started working on new Directory WordPress theme update. We made a list of our customer requirements and new theme was born. This brand new Directory WordPress theme is coming to all our existing Directory customers free of charge.

Extension plugins are not included in the Directory WordPress theme package. Yes – theme and plugins do cost more that a generic multi-purpose theme, but you’re not buying just a WordPress Directory theme, you’re buying yourself a fully working and proven online directory business.
