 * I want to change my business directory view. Please tell me if you have any templates
   available for your business directory or any other option so that I can change
   its look…
 * Also, I want change the structure of permalink like if anyone search for any 
   business currently it is [http://www.website.com/india/listing](http://www.website.com/india/listing)
 * and I want it as [http://www.website.com/listing](http://www.website.com/listing)
 * Please have a look in my concern and revert me back as earlier as possible….

 * Hi guptakushagra16,
 * Right now, we have 3 options for customizing the look of the directory:
 * 1) First is custom CSS to do basic tweaks like fonts, spacing and colors. Here
   is an article about how to use custom CSS with Business Directory in a way that
   doesn’t get overwritten on upgrade of BD: [http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/how-to-use-custom-styles-with-bd-2-1/](http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/how-to-use-custom-styles-with-bd-2-1/)
 * 2) For the more adventurous and layout-based changes, you can override templates:
   [http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/customizing-bd-to-fit-your-theme/](http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/customizing-bd-to-fit-your-theme/)
   And also do more with fields: [http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/advanced-customization-of-the-list-and-detail-views-of-bd/](http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/advanced-customization-of-the-list-and-detail-views-of-bd/)
 * 3) But if that’s not enough, you can go full-bore and customize anything in the
   plugin if you have the proper skill set: [http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/docs/customization-guide/](http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/docs/customization-guide/)
 * Pretty soon, we will be offering “skins” for BD, to make is easiest to switch
   the look of the directory, as easily as you switch the look of your site today
   with a theme. It’s not quite ready for primetime yet, but will be soon.
 * For your permalink question above, if you have your directory on a page named“
   India”, it will always be on [http://website.com/india](http://website.com/india)
   and your listings will show up under it. That’s a current limitation of BD, and
   you can’t just eliminate that /india in the URL because of how we display the
   listings through a shortcode on the /india page.
