Product updates

Added a new Location Directory template for local discovery sites, featuring a map-first browsing experience for places like restaurants, hotels, and city guides.

Added a new Job Board template for directory sites, with tailored listing layouts, category navigation, and a focused hero experience.

DirectoryCraft now supports paid listing submissions with Stripe checkout, including a post‑payment confirmation state before redirecting submitters back to the directory home page. This makes it easier to accept paid submissions on your directory website and keep payment status in sync via Stripe webhooks.

• Stripe setup guide: /blog/stripe-setup-guide-for-directorycraft
• Stripe webhook events required for paid submissions: checkout.session.completed, checkout.session.async_payment_succeeded, checkout.session.async_payment_failed, checkout.session.expired.

We launched a new Free Tools hub to help you ship faster with SEO-friendly generators:

• AI Directory Business Name Generator
• AI Blog Title Generator

Browse all tools at /tools.

Directory templates now include mobile menus, nested categories, improved submit listing styling, better search with filter chips, and more consistent theming across pages.

Added a Design setting to optionally show a subtle DirectoryCraft watermark on public sites (floating badge and footer credit).

Plan feature lists now display clear checkmarks for included features and an X for features not included in a plan.

You can now sign in or create an account using Google, alongside email and password.

Renamed the product to DirectoryCraft, added updated logos and favicons, and refreshed the landing experience (header/nav, pricing, features, FAQ, and CTA).

Added a public /changelog page on the root domain powered by a Markdown file you can update.

Improved project dashboard navigation by reducing redundant server calls and enabling link prefetching from the projects list.

Resolved minor UI issues and improved layout consistency across pages.
