SCRAP customer sign-up, put up Clear & Colorful Sales Page
It's time we get rid of the confusing entry page into our business, and replace it with a colorful Pick the red, or blue button page. We need to have an actual SALES page, professionally written by John Carlton, and nice friendly graphics to lead our prospects to WANTING a Premium Listing.

PayPal Page Style
PayPal is the primary way to pay for listings on our directories it would be good to either provide an entry in the admin backend to enter a "page_style" or hard code a default directory "page_style" in the payment code. This way we can create our own custom header inside Paypal that displays our directory name and makes the whole purchase process more seemles

Add a proper welcome page to the directory
At present the directory looks like a book without a cover - the index page is showing but there is no welcome. If we are to promote the main URL's of the sites, then this is the first page that the visitors reaches, and at present the first impression is a poor one, with no welcome and no strapline to tell them what the site is all about. We have about 2 seconds to catch attention and at the moment I fear we aren't.

Follow Me on Twitter
Give the directory owners access to this link for their Twitter accounts. At least we will then have the option to promote our directories and not have this link to a twitter account that Isn't updating regularly.

Add subcategory of Steak & Barbecue under "Food/Restaurants"
Coming from a big market, I find it odd that, especially in the States, we have no subcategories for Steak houses, Barbecue joints, or Seafood Restaurants...first things I look for in "the Book" when I'm out of town

Add About Page to Directory
We have a little room at the end of the Nav Bar on our Directories, and I'd like to suggest we get an "About" page that we the owners could put information on.
Besides telling a bit about the company, it would be great to also be able to talk about the areas we cover. I know for the larger metropolis areas - it's important to be able to say what areas / neighborhoods we cover - as many of these smaller areas may have a city name, but the population is so small we'll never do a separate directory.

Option for listing in multiple categoires and sub categories
I own a niche directory and believe the *Submit listing* sign up form on my website should be customized accordingly:
I believe it would prove more effective for the niche directory owners in particular to hav the option for companies to list themselves in multiple categories and sub categories as many companies would offer services in multiple spaces.
So rather than them having to register 10 individual category registration forms, and paying 10 different invoices, why not offer the option of listing in multiple categories.
Sign up listing options would also need to include *additional* fees. For example:
1-2 Categories… more10 votesunder review ·

Separate Trackbacks from Comments in Blog Templates
We really need to get the pingbacks / trackbacks separated from our end-user comments to encourage discussions on our blogs.
The regular comments should come first, and then Pingbacks / Trackbacks can be placed below.
This, however, requires modifying the comments.php files to separate this - so it is best done by the DNA team and pushed out to us.
Once this is done in the templates, then other options like using threaded comments plugins become more viable.

Coupon Discount for listings
Provide coupon codes into the purchase of Standard and Premium Directory listings
Upsell Local companies from Free listings by offering special discount coupons for upgrading to a paid listing.
Probably need to have coupon codes and discount amount in our backend...
If we think it's a good idea, can someone add to the feedback section for me?

Option to remove "number hits" from listings
First of all, I'm not sure what exactly this means - and if it refers to the number of hits from our site's listing to their site, it's always going to be low and unimpressive looking when the listing is first posted at the very least (possibly for much longer) - and is just a reason for potential advertisers to say these listings aren't working.....so why list it there?
At the very least, please give us the option to remove it if we choose.

The ability to do this for premium listings is one of the ‘tab’ features planned for new listing detail layout page.
