First of all, an electronic catalog is necessary in order to organize a large amount of information. It allows you to split data into groups, which greatly facilitates access to them.

Step 1
First, think about why you need an electronic catalog. If, for example, you want to increase the number (thematic citation index) of several web resources by placing links to them in a directory, then you need a link directory. If you need an electronic catalog for an online store, then the method of creation and its type will be different. So, if you still want to increase the thematic citation index of sites, select the subject of the catalog. Develop headings, design using graphic editors. You can entrust this lesson to a specialist, so you will save a lot of time.
Step 2
Find a domain and hosting that supports mysql and phph. Be sure to pay special attention to the domain level. The level must be at least the first if you want the thematic citation index of sites to be high. Use special programs to create an electronic catalog. There are both paid and free applications. Be careful when downloading - you can download files containing viruses to your computer. That is why, first, explore the applications for creating online directories. After you choose which program to use, go to the official website of this application (usually the resource is named the same as the program itself).
Step 3
If you have knowledge in the field of web programming, you can write the code for the electronic catalog yourself. This can of course take a long time. Register the catalog in the electronic catalog database after it is ready. The advantage will be that it will be possible to send mailing to sites in order to subsequently include them in the catalog.
Step 4
Hire a moderator to keep track of your online directory, or do it yourself. It is not enough just to make a catalog, you must also update it periodically and maintain the stable operation of the web resource. This is especially true when it comes to the electronic catalog of an online store.
