A directory website with real listings — built by AI
Local businesses, niche suppliers, member pros — describe the directory and Mortar builds it: structured listings people can search, filter and review, on your own domain.
What your directory gets
- ✓Listings with the fields your niche needs — categories, location, photos, opening hours, links.
- ✓Search, filters and sorting that fit how visitors browse — plus reviews and ratings if you want them.
- ✓A submission form so businesses can request a listing — you approve before anything goes live.
- ✓Charge for featured or premium listings by card — your Stripe account, or one Payments via Mortar sets up (3% fee).
- ✓Notification emails from your own domain when a submission or review needs your approval.
- ✓Hosted 24/7 from $6/mo — a real database underneath, and code you own.
Frequently asked
Can I charge businesses to be listed?
Yes — free basic listings with paid featured spots, or paid-only: describe the model and the card checkout is wired through Stripe into your account.
Do I moderate what gets published?
Yes — submissions and reviews can wait in a queue until you approve them, and you can edit or remove any listing at any time.
Do I own the code Mortar generates?
Yes. Every project is a real Django repository you can export in full and run anywhere — there is no proprietary runtime and no vendor lock-in.
