Hi,
Creating a subscription-based directory website with filtering, search tools, comparison features, and user profiles is an ambitious project. Below is an outline of the steps and considerations involved in making your template functional:
Website Development:
Content Management System (CMS): Select and set up a CMS like WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal to manage the website's content efficiently.
Template Integration: If you already have a template, integrate it into the chosen CMS.
Directory Listings:
Business Profiles: Create a structured database for business profiles. Each profile should include essential information such as business name, description, contact details, services, images, and customer reviews.
Filtering and Search: Implement advanced search and filtering options to allow users to search for businesses based on various criteria, like location, category, ratings, and services offered.
Subscription System:
Subscription Plans: Define different subscription plans (e.g., free, basic, premium) for businesses who want to list their profiles on your website.
Payment Gateway Integration: Integrate a secure payment gateway to handle subscription payments.
Access Control: Restrict certain features or content to subscribers, offering added value to paid subscribers.
Looking forward to hear a positive response to get started ASAP.
Regards,
