PHP Business Directory Screenshots
Home page of the administration panel
The administration panel has different features and functionality allowing the administrator to manage the listings, the different settings, the website pages and content and many others.
Default front-end template
The default front-end template and home page shows a search form and sections for browsing the listings by category, location and the latest business listings and random featured listings. All the colors and texts on the main site can be easily changed from the administration panel. The administrator can also choose which sections to show up on the home page.
A different template for the main website
PHP Business Directory is using a flexible template system - the templates can be customized and custom ones can be added. Please check our Online Demos to see different template integrations and demos with different designs.
Changing the template colors from the admin panel
The template colors can be changed with a single click from the administration panel - this makes really easy to customize the website colors and set the ones you prefer or make the website colors match your logo (the website logo and background can be also changed easily from the admin panel).
Managing the pricing plans from the admin panel
The administrator can create different listing packages - free and paid and let the users choose the one they prefer when adding a new listing.
The form for adding new pricing plans in the administration panel
When adding new pricing package, the administrator can set the name, price, description, if the listing listed with this package will have a featured status (showing up at the top of the category, search results and special featured listing sections) or not, if it will get a do-follow link and the possibility to list it in more than one category.
Website pages management
From the admin panel the administrator can rename or remove the current website pages, edit their settings (like meta description, keywords, title and others), edit their content and others. New pages can be also added easily and also for multi-language websites, the page names can be set separately for the different languages.
Pages web editor
Using the pages web editor, the administrator can edit the content of website pages, change the texts and add images on them.
Browse the listing by map
The browse by map feature on the main website allows the users to zoom-in and zoom-out the map with the current business listings and find a company around their preferred location.
Reviews page on the main site
The Reviews page shows the latest reviews posted on the website and also makes it possible to browse the reviews by company.
Business listing details page
The business listing details page shows the company information and it's divided in different tabs showing the company details, the Google map and address, a tab to share the listing on social networks or recommend it to a friend and a tab allowing to write a review for the company.
Adding a new listing, step 1
When adding a new listing, during the first step, the user has to select the listing package he prefers (which are set and can be managed by the administrator / website owner).
Adding a new listing, step 2
During the second step, the user has to enter the business details like business title, description, select a category, enter the web address, phone, add a map to his listing etc.
Configuration options in the admin panel
From the Configuration Options page in the admin panel, the administrator can set the general configuration settings on the website like the listings expire time.
Modifying the business categories
The business categories can be changed easily from the administration panel, allowing the administrator to set the categories he prefers. If the website is multi-language then the categories can be changed separately for the different languages.
Changing the locations from the admin panel
Like the categories, the locations can be also modified easily from the admin panel. Please note that we also have ready locations lists for the different countries in the world, which we can provide for free on request - please don't hesitate to contact us for more information.
Adding custom fields for the business listings
New custom fields for the business listings can be added directly from the administration panel - no modifications in the sources are required and the new fields will show up instantly on the new listing forms after that.
Banner spaces management
The functionality for creating banner zones / banner spaces allows the administrator to create special places for banners on the main website and let the users upload in them their own banners for a fee.
Language versions management
PHP Business Directory is multi-language and new languages can be added from the admin panel. Adding a new language requires also the language file to be translated to it (we also have ready translations, which we provide on request, please don't hesitate to contact us for details).
Modifying the language file from the admin panel
Except of modifying the language file directly, the administrator has also the option to edit the texts and words in it (which are the texts and words showing up in the user interface) directly from the admin panel.
Changing the website logo from the admin panel
The administrator can easily change the website logo from the admin panel by either uploading it as an image file or setting it as a text.
Colors page in the admin panel
From the Colors page in the admin panel, the administrator can change with one click the main website color (accent color) or also set a different background for the website.
Adding Google AdSense and Google Analytics in the admin panel
In the last version of PHP Business Directory we tried to make easier adding Google AdSense advertisements and Google Analytics tracking code by adding this new page in the admin panel allowing directly to paste the html codes in the corresponding fields (instead of pasting these codes directly in the template as it was until version 3).
News page in the administration panel
Using the News page in the admin panel, the administrator can easily post news on the website (showing up after in the Latest News section and also on the News page).
Newsletter functionality
The newsletter functionality allows the administrator to send newsletter to the registered users, to some selected users or to the users who posted a business listing on the website.
F.A.Q. Manager
The frequently asked questions functionality makes it possible to add questions and answers to be published on a FAQ page on the main website.
User groups and permissions
The user groups and permissions functionality can be used to create additional administrator user groups and users for the administration panel and set different permissions for them.
Dashboard of the users admin panel
PHP Business Directory allows both not registered and registered users to add business listings (any of the options can be turned off if not needed). The registered users can use their own administration panel to post and manage their business listings.
Showing companies around the user's location
This functionality allows to get automatically the user's location from the browser and show a map with the companies near him. There is also a search form on the main page allowing to search the companies within a specified distance from the current location.
Setting the business hours
The users now have the possibility to add and edit their business hours - the information is displayed after on the business details page on the main site.
Claiming a business listing
This new functionality makes it possible for the users to claim very business listings - they can fill a form, sending a message to the website administrator who can review the claim and assign the listing to the users. The functionality could be especially useful when the business listings are bulk imported from csv files, in order to allow the companies to get possession of their listings after that.
Setting multiple images or videos for the business listing packages
The administrator can allow multiple images or for example to allow an YouTube video to be added to a listing - this can be set separately for the different listing packages / pricing plans and in this way to allow more images, video or more categories to the more expensive business listing plans.
