Web Directory Service Launched
Web Directory Service Site
Having opened the web directory service domain some weeks ago, it was time to reflect and give the site a quick face-lift. In anticipation of the DirectoryPress Plugin, Fetch Meta Tags plugin, I needed to create a frame from where I could potentially launch and track the development of plugins for niche wordpress web directories. The Web Directory Service Domain itself holds little value, and will at some stage potentially end up in the back-end somewhere of the create web directory domain. For the time being however, it served a purpose to separate the web directory service aspect.
The site itself offers some service descriptions, with lots of contact us buttons. Specifically, we are only focusing on the release of the fetch meta plugin for directorypress.
VISIT the WEB DIRECTORY SERVICE domain.
Web Directory Service Site Frame
What is interesting on the web directory service domain is the theme setup. This frame makes an excellent static page frame for a website. The description that follows will most likely bore you to death, so I will summarize the highlights of using this frame setup for websites requiring minimal static pages.
- Web Directory Service Domain : Slider details consist from choosing a specific category. Add new category, add some data, and specify the category to get the clicks flowing.
- Web Directory Service Domain : The SERVICES aspect (defined in web panel for theme) places the three image links below the slider.
- Web Directory Service Domain : Using simple 301 redirect plugin, I created additional pages to mirror the SERVICES section, and created landing pages to correspond. Simple.
- Web Directory Service Domain : Editing these and creating new landing pages will be painless.
- Web Directory Service Domain : Using ARCHIVES sidebar feature, I can easily ”link” to all posts, even if they are not relevant. This will satisfy navigational SEO requirements.
- Web Directory Service Domain : If I change static pages in the future, might have to create a link somewhere to call old pages links.
Quite easy to set up, and now with some cloning I can tweak this and some more of these type of themes.
Service Sites : Backlinks & SEO
One of the projects we wanted to do the same with was the backlink section, started some weeks ago. This will be the next project that gets a face-lift and will look somehow very different by February 2012. The concept at this stage is to continue with the development projects, but quickly throw together some service related sites, like web directory service, and start researching the process of service provision online. The BackLinks website project will use a similar theme to the web directory service project, and although I aim to make them look completely different, the theme ”function” must stay similar. Should be interesting to see hoe the web directory frame function on a live project.
