Short description
158 characters — fits a 160-character fieldEpicDirectories is a directory management platform: a public API and an admin UI for running a directory. You build and host the front-end — we hold the data.
-
Long description
372 charactersEpicDirectories is directory infrastructure. It gives you an API, an admin UI, media processing and an import pipeline for running a directory of any kind — local listings, product catalogs, or events recurring across time and place. It deliberately does not host your website. You pull your content at build time and publish it wherever you like, on a domain you control.
-
Boilerplate
The "About EpicDirectories" paragraph for a press releaseEpicDirectories is a directory management platform built around a public API. It handles the parts of running a directory that are tedious and easy to get wrong — structured listings, taxonomies, media processing, imports, submissions and enrichment — and deliberately stops short of hosting your site. Consumers pull an entire directory at build time through a single export endpoint and a typed SDK, then publish it on infrastructure and a domain they own. epicdirectories.com is itself built that way.

About this catalog
When the subject is epicdirectories.com rather than the platformepicdirectories.com catalogs 164 directories, databases and searchable archives across 13 categories. Every entry is checked by hand, categorised, and screenshotted, so you can see what a site actually looks like before you click through to it. It doubles as a working demonstration of the EpicDirectories platform: the whole catalog is pulled from the public API at build time and published as static HTML.

Two offset cards — one behind, one overlapping. Use the reversed lockup on dark backgrounds; the standard wordmark is near-black and disappears.

Using it
- Don't recolour it. The two colours are the mark.
- Don't rotate, skew, add effects to, or redraw it.
- Leave clear space around it of at least the width of the blue card.
- Below about 20px tall, use the mark alone — the wordmark stops being legible.
- Don't use the mark to imply a partnership or endorsement that doesn't exist.
Colours
- Directory Blue
Primary. Links, accents, the rear card of the mark.
- Signal Red
Secondary. The front card of the mark. Never for body text.
