Page Builder

Design Every Page Your Way

The Page Builder is the heart of MakeADir's customization engine — a visual, drag-and-drop editor that lets you shape every page in your directory without touching a single line of code. Whether you're building a landing page, an About section, or even customizing system screens like login and signup, the page builder gives you full creative control.

What You Can Build

The page builder goes far beyond your listing pages. You can design and customize:

• Custom content pages — About, contact, resources, landing pages, and anything else your directory needs
• System pages — Login, signup, password reset, and email verification screens that match your brand from the very first interaction
• User-facing pages — The user listings page where members manage their submissions, styled to feel like your own platform

Drag-and-Drop Components

Build pages by dragging ready-made blocks onto your canvas. Here are just a few examples of what's available:

• Hero blocks — attention-grabbing headers with customizable text, buttons, and background styling to set the tone for any page
• Rich Text blocks with an AI-powered content editor to draft, refine, and polish your copy
• Listing grids — drop a dynamic, filterable grid of listings onto any page to showcase categories, featured entries, or curated collections
• FAQ sections to answer common questions in a clean, accordion-style layout
• Timeline blocks (vertical and horizontal) to showcase milestones, histories, or step-by-step journeys
• Steps blocks (vertical and horizontal) for how-to guides and process walkthroughs
• Signup and member screens — embed registration forms, login panels, and member dashboards wherever they fit your flow
• Container blocks with customizable borders for structured layouts
• YouTube blocks to embed video content seamlessly

And this list is far from exhaustive — new components are added regularly based on user feedback, so your toolkit keeps growing.

Dynamic Tokens for Smarter Pages

Use dynamic tokens like @Listing Name, @Listing Categories, and @Post Title to automatically populate content where it matters. One template adapts to infinite scenarios — no manual updates needed when your data changes.

Built for Workflow

• Draft and preview — Work on pages privately, preview changes, and publish only when you're ready
• Duplicate pages — Clone existing pages to use as templates for new ones, saving time on repetitive layouts
• Group by path — Organize content pages logically, just like you would with categories
• Edit anytime — Return to any published page, make changes, and push updates instantly

Common Use Cases

• Sponsorship landing pages — Build dedicated pages for local sponsors with highlighted listings and custom branding, all managed through the page builder
• Membership welcome screens — Design a branded experience for new members after signup, reinforcing your directory's identity
• Resource hubs — Combine text, video, and FAQ blocks into comprehensive resource pages that keep visitors engaged
• Custom category landing pages — Go beyond the default layout and create curated introductions for high-value categories
• Agency portfolios — Run multiple directories from one account, each with its own distinct pages and branding

No Code, No Designer, No Limits

The page builder is designed to be intuitive — simply drag components onto your page, edit the content, and publish. No coding or design skills needed. And because MakeADir itself is built on the same platform, the pages you see here are exactly what you can create.
