When starting up in any industry, creating a directory for your niche market is a crucial step to gather and manage information about relevant entities.
With Sheetany, you can easily turn Google Sheets into a complete directory website in just a few clicks.
Here are the simple steps to create a directory from Google Sheets using Sheetany:
Step 1: Define the Niche Market and Information Structure
First, you need to clearly define the niche market your startup is targeting.
A niche market can be a small group within a larger field, such as "AI tools for marketing" or "SaaS boilerplate template lists".
Once the niche is identified, prepare a list of the entities you want to include in the directory. For example:
- Product name
- Tagline, a brief description
- URL, website, or product link
- Contact information
- Detailed description of the project, MRR, founder information, etc.
Step 2: Choose a Template on Sheetany
Sheetany offers a variety of pre-designed templates suitable for different types of websites. For creating a directory, you can choose a template like "Directory Template", which allows easy data input from Google Sheets and quickly displays it on the website.
Step 3: Prepare Your Google Sheet
- Create a Google Sheet with clear column headers, including details like Company Name, Website URL, Short Description, Email, etc.
- Enter your data into this sheet. You can add as many rows as needed to complete your directory list.
Step 4: Connect Google Sheets to Sheetany
Access Sheetany and follow these steps:
- Create a new website on Sheetany.
- Choose the directory template.
- Connect the project to your Google Sheets. Sheetany will automatically sync the information from your Google Sheets to the website.
- Select your website name and domain. SheetAny provides a default domain under "sheetany.site", or you can customize it if you own a personal domain.
- Customize the website details in the "Information" sheet, such as logo, colors, adding links, call-to-action (CTA) buttons, or extra pages like Contact or Feedback.
Step 5: Customize the Website Design
Once Sheetany has synced with your Google Sheets, you can personalize the website:
- Add your logo and adjust the header, footer, and other visual elements.
- Select the color scheme and fonts that match your brand.
- Customize links, CTAs, or additional pages as needed.
Step 6: Publish the Directory Website
