05 / Key Feature

The directory is the centrepiece

The trader directory will be the functional heart of the new site. We will migrate all ~294 traders into structured profiles, giving visitors a filterable, searchable A-Z experience that makes discovery simple. Each business receives its own page, while the core directory becomes a practical resource for the local community, visitors and members alike.

Because the data is being migrated from existing records, the build is designed to preserve momentum and reduce administrative overhead. The result is a smarter association website that is easier to browse and easier to manage internally.

Structured importTrader data imported directly into structured profiles, with no manual re-entry.
Fast discoveryFilter by category, location or keyword to find the right trader instantly.
Easy managementFully manageable by your team, so profiles can be updated without a developer.
