Start buildingFrom idea to a live directory in a repeatable workflow
DirectoryCraft is designed for makers shipping fast: structure your niche, load content, collect submissions, and publish.
Create your directory project
Pick a niche, define your categories, and set up the fields that matter (links, tags, ratings, locations, and more).
Add listings (or import them)
Start manually, or upload a spreadsheet to get your first 100+ listings live quickly, then refine inside the editor.
Collect submissions from your audience
Turn on a submission form so makers and founders can contribute. Moderate before publishing, or auto-publish.
Publish on your domain and grow with SEO
Connect your custom domain, share pages that look great, and grow organic traffic with search-friendly listings.
