We built a directory website using WordPress. Yeah, the same WordPress everyone sh*ts about these days.
Time: <2 Days
Cost: 1/10th of Softr
We documented the whole process in this blog 👆
Great story, Karthik! I'm building a B2B directory for the physical
security industry (integrators, manufacturers, distributors).
We already have a WordPress site with JetEngine + JetSmartFilters +
Elementor. Considering whether to use existing stack or try
aDirectory.
Quick questions:
fields? (We have 5 company types with different meta fields each)
Would love your take on WordPress vs custom-coded directories
for B2B niches.
This is amazing, Karthik!
Rooting for your launch success!
Thanks a lot Shushant!!
Thanks for this blog article Karthik.
I am not an advocate of Softr, but in the free version, you can integrate a custom domain and use most of the features.
However WP has unlimited features
Yeah, Not denying that.
But there is a cap on the free limit and we are also planning to add more products under this website. So we thought WordPress is better.
where did you host the WordPress website?
Vultr hosting Sai.
How is the page loading performance so far? Have you measured via https://pagespeed.web.dev/ ?
Yeah, checked just now
Performance score is 96 and FCP is 0.8 sec.
