I decided to set up the Daventry Directory as an online resource displaying information about local small businesses and organisations.
I chose the Divi theme from Elegant Themes because it is a nice, clean, responsive theme with a built in page builder that enabled me to set up my pages in the way that I wanted.
I used the Custom Post Type UI and Advanced Custom Fields plugins to create a special post type called “Business”. Local business owners can apply to have an advert in the form of a business post.
As well as the business adverts, I included a section listing links to organisations and groups in the Daventry area. These are displayed using Divi’s accordion module as shown below.
