It looks like a directory website. nowadays business directories are becoming more & more popular. A single listing page can become a small business web site. No doubt about it that hotcourses.com are tough competitor and its will be very hard to reach at their level.
You can find many directory WordPress themes online but if its your first time then I recommend you to use iLister Business Directory Software. iLister Business Directory Software provides an easy way to publish a comprehensive online business directory without technical knowledge for site administrator. You can get iLister Business Directory Software from the source below.
Go to WPMUDEV.org and check out their directory plugin.
They give a plugin and theme for wordpress.
I am thinking of developing a course catalog similar to www.hotcourses.com - I won't be a direct competitor to them as its very different target locations. I guess what I want to know is if this sort of site is a classifieds or directory site? I am inclined towards directory. It's important for me to know so I can search for an appropriate Wordpress theme. Thanks in advance.
