As you know, Yclas' mission is to help you have a professional website where you can publish your classifieds online.
This is why we offer you a wide variety of templates, each one with a different design and style.
We are aware that when it comes to website designs, trends often vary. At Yclas we continuously work to offer you new and better templates, not only to ensure that you find the one that best suits your style and needs but also to ensure that your classified ads page fits the demands of the market.
Titi
This time we want to introduce you to the Titi Template. This one has a modern and very dynamic design that, without much effort, manages to give a lot of visibility to your classifieds.
Its main features include the following ones:
- It allows displaying of any amount of ads on the home page.
- Option to set the HTML that appears only on the home page.
- Toolbar and sidebar.
- Banner and banner at the footer of the page with your social networks (it allows HTML).
- Random banner in a listing.
- You can choose among three different colors for the template: blue, green, and orange.
- It allows you to upload a logo, favicon, apple-touch-icon,, and a profile picture.
Titi today: renamed "Homepage Hero", and how it compares with Nova
Titi is still available, but no longer under that name. In your site admin, under Design > Themes, it is listed as Homepage Hero. It keeps the blue, green and orange colour options and the logo, favicon and apple-touch-icon uploads described above. The templates page now shows only Nova, and since October 2026 every new Yclas site starts on Nova. Nova is described on the features page as built for phones. One accent colour restyles the whole site, and you add your logo and fonts. A homepage builder covers the hero, categories, latest listings and how it works, and custom CSS is there for final touches.
Why the default moved to a phone-first theme
When Titi came out in 2018, many classifieds sites were still designed on a desktop screen first. The numbers have since moved firmly the other way:
- Most visits are on phones. StatCounter Global Stats puts mobile at 58.99% of worldwide web traffic in September 2026, against 39.26% for desktop and 1.76% for tablets.
- Google ranks the mobile version of your site. In October 2023 Google Search Central announced that mobile-first indexing has landed. Google now crawls and indexes sites as a phone sees them.
- Speed is measured with Core Web Vitals. According to web.dev (updated 31 October 2024), a good page has Largest Contentful Paint within 2.5 seconds, Interaction to Next Paint (which replaced First Input Delay in 2024) of 200 ms or less, and Cumulative Layout Shift of 0.1 or less, measured at the 75th percentile of page loads, separately for mobile and desktop.

- Check your category icons, logo size and any custom HTML you added to the homepage.
- Check your Core Web Vitals in Google Search Console before and after the change.
