Moreover, if you ever need to customize any of the HivePress page templates or email notifications, you can do this without coding skills using the familiar WordPress editor.
<h4>Monetization Options</h4>
With HivePress, you can create a business, not just a website. There are at least a few ways to monetize your directory, for example:
<ul>
<li>Paid Listings – Charge users for adding listings.</li>
<li>Featured Listings – Charge users for advertising listings.</li>
<li>Claim Listings – Charge companies for claiming their listings.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Free & Premium Extensions</h4>
Enhance your website functionality with just a few clicks using HivePress extensions. While you can build a fully functional directory using free extensions only, <a href="https://hivepress.io/extensions/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=wordpress.org" rel="nofollow ugc">premium extensions</a> may also be useful depending on your website requirements.
<h4>Niche-Specific Themes</h4>
HivePress comes with a free <a href="https://hivepress.io/themes/listinghive/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=wordpress.org" rel="nofollow ugc">ListingHive</a> theme that is fully compatible with HivePress and its official extensions. Also, there are a few <a href="https://hivepress.io/themes/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=wordpress.org" rel="nofollow ugc">premium themes</a> with more tailored design and functionality for various directory and marketplace niches.
<h4>Developer Features</h4>
If you have at least basic coding skills, then look no further because HivePress is powered by a highly customizable and extensible <a href="https://docs.hivepress.io/developer-docs/" rel="nofollow ugc">framework</a> for directory websites:
<ul>
<li>Structured Code – We follow the WordPress coding standards, so the codebase is well-structured and readable.</li>
<li>Easy Theming – Styling and overriding layouts is very intuitive due to block-based templates and BEM CSS notation.</li>
<li>Hooks API – A collection of actions and filters for customizing or extending the core HivePress functionality.</li>
<li>REST API – There’s an API endpoint for every action, so you can integrate HivePress with third-party platforms.</li>
<li>Docs & Snippets – Never get stuck with our collection of ready-made code snippets, API references, and docs.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Support & Community</h4>
HivePress is directly supported by its developers, people who know the plugin inside and out, so any issues are resolved in the optimal way possible. Join the <a href="https://community.hivepress.io/" rel="nofollow ugc">community</a> to report a bug, suggest a feature, or vote for suggestions to help us make HivePress better!

HivePress – Business Directory & Classified Ads Plugin


Lots of good things to say about this theme and the team behind it. They have a wonderful support forum that is very active and responds quickly. If their support doesn't have an answer to something that is more customizable (like custom code), often other members do. I have enjoyed it so much that I am using it on a second website now. Kudos!
