WordPress Directories and Resource Hubs

We help nonprofits create user-friendly resource hubs for their community

Make your resources easy to explore and simple to manage

Directories, archives, and resource guides are tools your team, members, and community depend on. We'll help you develop an organized, filterable hub that's easy to manage and intuitive to explore.

We think long-term and plan for future growth, with an emphasis on usability, accessibility, and searchability. Technology changes, but your directory shouldn't have to be scrapped and rebuilt when that happens.

The problem with WordPress directory plugins

Sure, you can install a directory plugin. But most are designed for a list of businesses. What if you need a directory of programs, resources, members, or webinars? What if you need different fields, filters, or layouts?

Sooner or later, you’re stuck with a tool that doesn't work because the structure doesn’t quite fit, can’t connect to your other data, and leaves little room for growth.

Our Approach

We’ve built enough directories to know it's better to start with your needs and design around them, instead of forcing your content into a structure built for something else entirely.

Our vision of a well-built directory, resource guide, or information hub means:

  • Visitors can search, filter, and quickly find what they're looking for
  • Your team can easily manage listings
  • Resources can be customized with the exact fields you need
  • Fields, categories and layouts can grow over time without breaking your directory
  • Listings can be imported, exported, and updated in bulk
  • Data can connect and display in any area of your website
  • Third-party tools and platforms can be integrated
  • Schema and meta fields are structured correctly for SEO

Our process focuses on strategy and usability and is entirely centered around your specific needs and resources.

  1. Planning: Review your goals, and define the information types and taxonomies.
  2. Design: Design the structure and map data in a way that's scalable and intuitive.
  3. Development: Build custom post types, custom fields, sorting filters, and integrations.
  4. Launch and support: Training, management, and support for future growth.

Why Choose Surelutions

We start by understanding your organization's goals, the type of information you'd like to share, and the people who will be using it. Then we design and build your directory or resource hub to be easy to manage, integrate with your existing tools, and adapt as your needs change.

Nonprofits and community organizations are our people.

We understand the realities nonprofits and community organizations face — mission-focused goals, limited capacity, changes in staff, lots of ideas and tight budgets. With 20 years of experience, we've built long-term partnerships with our clients and worked through many challenges and opportunities together.

We make sure it works for you and your community.

Your resource hub and information guides should work for the people who use it and the people who manage it. There's no point in having a great tool if it's too difficult to keep up-to-date. We make sure your content (and your website overall) is simple for your team to update, and intuitive for your visitors to use.

Our design process anticipates future needs.

We approach every project with both current and future needs in mind. We can't predict the future, but we can spot opportunities and integrations you might not have thought of yet. From the start, we plan for growth, share ideas along the way, and make sure your directory is ready for what’s next.
