Directory for Self-Organizing Collectives

Introduction
In most municipality there is no central location to get various information about the town or the area and I believe our directory architecture and technology will be a key component to connecting residents and visitors with businesses, services and amenities of the town and has a huge potential for facilitating all kinds of connections and increasing commerce within the community and beyond.

This directory will facilitate exporting of products and services to the national and international web community through digital downloadable products, international shipping and services that can be performed at a distance.

In addition we will offer online courses, community forums, digital art sales, self-help, fund raising for non-profit organizations and more.

We have also created a system for a local exchange based on a digital token system to greatly facilitate local bartering.

High street and commercial rents are very expensive in most towns and therefore many businesses cannot afford to get a brick and mortar location. However with a thorough online directory with a “multi-vendor market place”, people will be able to work from home and offer a pick up service or a delivery service without having to rent separate premises on a monthly basis, thus increasing availability and reducing cost of goods and services for the community as well as supporting new entrepreneurs and helping them thrive.

I firmly believe that this directory is the single most significant addition to any town or community because it will greatly facilitate access to all the information from all the providers and community services and amenities and improve efficiency and satisfaction in many areas of daily life for everyone. With the rating and comments functionality, it will increase accountability of providers and encourage them to improve their goods and services.

With the progression of decentralization as a result of people realizing that globalization works against the interests of the local community and that “Self-Organizing Collectives are the only forward to viable and sustainable communities, now is the perfect time to launch an innovative directory that will take your community into a new level of thriving.

My knowledge and experience
As an expert Web Architect for 20 years, I have built up a repertoire of innovative revenue sources and functionalities for Web Directories. I am the only such agency I know of offering such an exhaustive list of revenues for Directories or large Web Portals in the World. This list has been compiled over 12 years and would costs you 10s of thousands of dollars in time to research and compile yourself.

There are many levels to this knowledge, starting with the revenue sources all the way to the packaging of this product for ease of conversion/sale, how to adapt it to your specific needs and designing a very user-friendly interface. Depending on the revenue generating streams, steps will vary. For more on this process, see:

In addition we implement a list of features (best practices) that all good Directories and Portal should have. These add value to your site for users and members.

We have devised an innovative architecture and platform to facilitate a multivendor marketplace environment, which is ideal for Community directories. We have not seen any other directory in the world using this methodology.
