Targeted Geographical Location

Target customers here in Orange County. When you advertise in a national directory not only are you paying more to be visible throughout the entire U.S., but you are also competing with a large number of similar companies.

Advertising in a local design directory means:

  • Less competition than a national directory
  • Higher visibility in your targeted geographical area
  • Local leads that you can have face-to-face meetings with who are more likely to do business with local design firms like YOU!

Sophisticated Listing Features

We've visited just about every directory out there, and we know that most of them really don't have much to offer. In most cases, they allow you to include your name, contact info, a description, and maybe even your logo (if you're lucky!). Our directory has all those features plus a lot MORE! Because we offer such a wide variety of features, your potential customers really have the opportunity to see what is so great about your company.

  • Google Maps – (Premium & Elite members only) Google Maps make it easy for your potential customers to find you
  • Design Portfolio – (Premium & Elite members only) Showcase your best work with images and descriptions of each piece.

  • Rotating Portfolio Slideshow – (Premium & Elite members only) within your listing page, a slideshow automatically rotates through each of your portfolio pieces. Users can enlarge a desired thumbnail, click to visit your full portfolio, or just view a snapshot of each individual portfolio piece without ever having to navigate away from your listing!
