I preffer brilliant directories becus of their support, price and the web app user friendly. The best directories portal i have ever gone through. Thanks vrilliant directory
The Brilliant Directory software has a lot of features that you need to have a successful directory at a very reasonable price. From CSV upload of data to email notification to the new businesses about their page, these were just some of the features we were looking for. We were very impresses with the numbers of folks (6000) that were already using a Brilliant Directory, other companies had built hardly directories any yet wanted big bucks for their products.
It looks like a great product with a well designed user interface and professional support
... for helping us make our business goals a reality!
Our business success hugely depends upon our Directory. Brilliant has made the complicated simple; and the seemingly unaffordable---attainable!
Thanks to our Sales Rep Kelvin Vaughn----who is 'hands down' one of Brilliant's greatest Assets!

Thank you so much for the kind words, Macdonald! We're constantly doing our best to improve our product and customer support - your review means a lot!
We've tested many web directory scripts over the last couple of years but none of them was so easy to set up like brilliant directory. The ordering process was fast and easy and after a couple of minutes we were able to start working on the site.
The site and functions so far have been good and easy to work with. Looking forward to digging into things further and testing what it can do, and of course making some money :) Overall, happy with things at this point.
Thanks for the review Jason! We're all looking forward to your prosperous new site :)
I just want to get going not do a course in coding so I have said goodbye to the money I spent on other Directory software and decided to just go for it with BD
Thanks for the joining the Brilliant Directories family! One of our greatest priorities is to make it as easy as possible for users like yourself to get their websites up and running as fast as possible while still making the site incredibly easy to fully customize.
I have suffered through several hacks and near-hacks with my Wordpress sites (and many clients using WP). I was stoked to finally find a solution that didn't require my own hosting, security, plugins, firewall, and maintenance.
I'm looking forward to building AND OFFERING to my members a powerful, feature-rich directory (with a calendar to boot) that also gives me a great business asset as well.
Hi Drew! So glad that the Brilliant Directories platform has the features you need to start profiting from your new site. Our founders were WordPress develops and they went through the same security issues that you had. That's why we make it a priority to ensure fast load times and top of the line security for all of our users' websites.
I haven't tried the new boot strap software yet but it is supposed to be 100 percent responsive. The company has sold me 3 directory licenses and it appears they have many themes available that off er a wide variety of turn key directory styles that I plan to utilize for a very prosperous future.
Thanks for the review! I'm glad you've been enjoying the software with your three sites and we all look forward to seeing your future ones!
I chose directories brilliant because I think a it´s a very powerful tool to create a membership directory with a very modern design tool, the listings are very well organized and I'm sure I'll get my website get to have a very professional look. I also like the idea that the host is managed by you giving me an assurance that I will not have to be technically keeping. Their support from the beginning has been very friendly and allowed me to evaluate this tool something that other vendors have not allowed me to do. I would like to start with a directory with the examples shown to modify the page with the content created is this possible? Thank you very much for everything and congratulations for your product
Dennis at Brilliant Directories was knowledgeable, responsive and straight talking. I appreciate that. He answered all my questions and I am confident my experience with the support team will be just as positive. I'm really looking forward to getting my site live.

Hi Brent, thanks for the review! Our support team typically responds in less than 1 business day to any inquiries. They understand time is important for business owners like yourself and strive to make managing your directory website as easy as possible. Best of luck with your new website!
From my first contact with them super friendly awesome support, very responsive to any issues. And best option in comparison to other similar companies that offer same solution but at a much, much higher price tag. Highly recommend if your starting a directory based website!
One of the reasons why I purchased Brilliant Directories was that it is 'out of the box' and go. I am looking forward to not having to code but instead being able to go right to product pricing and selling.
I have been looking around the different membership websites to find one that will fit what I need and this one looked very well invested in. I call someone at 10pm my time and I got ahold of a real person! If I did not get ahold of a real person I'm not sure I would be writing this review. A personal touch means the world of difference to me and thats one of the main things that sold me.
Hi Kyle. We take the personal connection very seriously here at Brilliant Directories and understand that it is often times far better to speak with a real person than to not have someone to reach out to and answer questions. Thank you for your feedback!
I have been a Brilliant Directory customer for over 2 years now and I have to say that I find it to be truly powerful membership directory. I have now purchased my second site a real estate directory targeted specifically for real estate investors. You can literally have your site up and running in as little as 1 hour depending on how prepared you are with logos, photos, content, etc. They customer support is professional, knowledgeable, and responds in most cases 4-5 hours. I am now building my entire business around membership sites thanks to Brilliant Directory ease of use, features, support, and built in merchant services. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking to build a online business for membership directories and need a platform that offers videos, reviews, blogs, photos, coupons, and audio files. It truly provides you with everything you need to get started with the exception of members. However that is where your business skills come into play. I plan to purchase many more sites going forward.
Thanks, Conscious, for the terrific feedback! The Brilliant Directories platform is designed to have every feature that is necessary for our users to succeed. Though it might take some time for new directory owners to build their members database, we share many tips on our company blog and in our monthly webinars on how directory owners can drive traffic to their sites better and attract more members. Thanks so much for your continued support!
I have been working with Dennis for a few weeks on a specific project for the Tolland County Chamber of Commence. After trying the free trail, I purchased a full license account for the TCCC and look forward to developing our site. I have been very impressed with the staff and the flexibility of you software. I look forward to developing this site for the Chamber working with your professionals.
Enjoy the Labor Day weekend, Perne R. Maynard
