SJZ Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 We have a question regarding the uploading and organising of information for our 'business directory' on our website. We have a spreadsheet with all the details (name, type, address, number, opening hours etc) for businesses in our area and would like to use this to create a local 'Traders Directory' for users to search on our website. The Traders will be organised into : Type (Categories) - eg. Baker, Bank, Dry Cleaner etc Description (Tags) - eg. Open Late, Delivery, Vegetarian etc Also - by 'Good Trader' - ie. those businesses that we would recommend and 'All Traders' which would be a general directory for everyone else. We are not sure how best to organise this information on the back-end of the website. Currently we have used Blog posts for each individual business (see example below) , but are finding it difficult to manage this information (there will be close to 300 individual businesses). For the users, the Categories and Tags will make it easier to navigate and search the different businesses, but for us, organising this via the Content Management System is laborious and difficult to organise. Ideally, we'd like to upload our existing Excel database to Square Space, but understand that's not possible? If we have no option but to create individual business /traders as stand alone blog posts on the Blog Management Page, these will just appear all together and will be difficult for us to organise (ie. no folders etc). Currently there are only 4 posts, but when there are 300+ businesses it will be much harder to manage and update. What would you suggest?! Thanks Link to comment
