If you’re choosing between WordPress and Joomla to create a custom directory, the better one would be the one that you find a directory plugin for that you like – or if you’re a coder, the framework/set-up that you like better. With either platform, you have to extend the features to create a custom directory website; it’s not a built-in feature.

I would choose UltimateWB to create a custom directory website. It has a directory app built-in and it is very customizable, with lots of features, including monetization options, such as charging for posts, adding photos/videos to posts, or to set posts as featured, or to highlight posts or make bold.
