Need a WordPress Directory Theme?

Offering a directory of informational sites can be a valuable sales and/or revenue tool. I’ve been testing all the directory themes I can find for one of my own pet projects I’m trying to find the time to work on.

Right now I’ve got three in my sights that I thought I would share with you due to the ongoing requests I receive for a recommendation of a Premium WordPress Directory Theme.

Each of the three has a unique look and structure. Each is well supported by the developers. The key is to look at if each theme’s features and functionality, which are different amongst the three, offers what you need while providing the layout and look you desire.

Be sure to go to each site and take the time to go through the demo with a fine tooth comb. If you are unsure of how a feature works — e-mail the developer and ask first before spending your hard earned money.
