Smooth Directory is a simple way to add a business directory to a WordPress site. The public view of the directory is a simple, responsive two-column view, while the WP admin is extremely easy to use.
The plugin is ready to start using right out of the box by navigating to /businesses and is easily extendable by developers by overwriting the two public facing templates and styles.
The directory comes with built-in pagination, category filtering and alphabet filtering.
There are quite a few WordPress directory plugins, but if you’re looking for a responsive, easy to get going (and easy for clients to manage) business directory plugin, Smooth Directory will work great for you!

Creating a professional blog, news or business site can take a lot of time: design, layout, post presentation, and responsive adjustments are all needed before you can launch. Many users want great-looking results but don’t want to write code or build layouts from scratch.
<h3>The BlockSpare approach</h3>
BlockSpare provides a library of starter templates, Gutenberg blocks, and patterns so you can assemble production-ready pages quickly. Instead of starting from an empty canvas, start from a thoughtfully designed block or template and adapt it for your brand.
