Simple Directory suggestions (should I use plugins?)

[ad_1]

Hi,

So I want to create a simple directory. There won’t be a log in feature for users, no payment system other than a simple PayPal link. I don’t need a map either.

All I really want is to be able to easily create new listings, in alphabetical order (i.e. if I get a new listing I will be able to add it to list before an already added listing that begins with a later alphabet), in different categories by city and there should be a search feature that shows listings.

It seems to me that this kind of functionality might not even require a plugin and might be doable just with a normal theme (although is this advisable?) Is there some more efficient way of doing this though? Would not using a plugin make the site load faster?

I’m willing to pay for a plugin, theme etc. I suppose I’d like to keep things simpler though so hopefully I don’t have to rely too much on a plugin that might eventually disappear. But if the plugin is worth it, then I’d go that way.

I’ve read about GeoDirectories ([https://wpgeodirectory.com/]), Vantage ([https://www.appthemes.com/themes/vantage/]), but they seem a bit full featured and like I might end up paying for lots of features I really don’t need.

Thanks
