How to Launch a Cloud Based Marketplace with Yclas

April 19th, 2022 | 2 min read

Hello OC friends,

Next to our open-source Open Classifies script we also offer Yclas. With Yclas everyone can make a classifieds website without any knowledge in website design. So you don't need to know what PHP is or how you have to make your design using CSS. Yclas is an idea of the Open Classifieds team. We wanted to create a platform that is very user-friendly that enables anyone to create classified websites.

In the following weeks, we will show you how easy it is to create your own classifieds website with a series of "how to's" explaining how to create your marketplace using Yclas. This week the first one, showing you how simple it is to register on yclas.com and create the basics of your classifieds site.

Step 1 - Register on yclas.com

Navigate to www.yclas.com and register using your email address and a website address of your choice.

Step 2 - Choose a plan

On the next page you get after your registration you can choose the plan you prefer. We offer four paid plans, starting from only 15 dollars per month. If you want more advertising space you can choose for our growth or business plan. With the custom plan, you can even get your customized template.

For this example, we will be using the "growth plan", which costs 35 dollars per month. Click on the "14 Days Free Trial!" button.

In case you are not happy with it, you can cancel your subscription at any time.
