I want to create a local directory website

ope this works out for you! It seems like your going down a friggin rabbit hole lol. Good luck!
 
I've helped a customer once and they were using "brilliant directory" - it can be pricey for some but i looked under the hood they have many widgets that you can optimize ... programming codes are very well written and it does have many themes to choose from - The back-end is open enough that you can hire others to help you with anything with this directory.
