A classified website builder that starts from one sentence.
Yclas is a classified website builder for people who want a working classifieds site without a coding project. Describe what people will list, and the setup wizard writes your categories, an About page and example listings. Then pick one of 109 looks and change it in a visual editor. No code, no plugins, no server.

A classified website builder made for listings, posts and searches.
A general website builder makes nice pages. A classified ads website builder also has to handle what visitors add: listings with fields, photos, search, accounts and messages. Yclas builds both parts at once.
From an empty screen to a site you can share.
Real screenshots of the sign-up wizard and the Studio, the visual editor every Yclas site has.
Mile High Bikes is an example site made with the wizard, not a customer.
109 looks, each with a template for its trade.
Every look sets the fonts, colours, buttons and card style. The template under it sets the home page for a kind of site: a car site leads with make and model search, a local site with categories and what is new nearby. Filter the gallery by trade or mood and preview a look on your own content before you choose.
- Switch looks at any time; listings, users and settings stay as they are.
- Every look is built for phones first.
Move sections, change words, see it live.
The Studio shows your home page next to a list of its sections: hero, categories, latest listings, featured listings, a map, text blocks. Add, hide or reorder them, change their text and colours, and preview the result on a computer, a tablet and a phone. Changes wait in a draft until you publish them, and every published version can be restored.
- Drafts and history: publish now, schedule it, or roll back.
- Custom CSS on every plan for the last pixel.
Describe the change, check the draft.
Type "make the header dark green and put the map above the latest listings" and the AI page builder makes the change in a draft for you to check. It is useful when you know what you want but not where the setting is.
- AI design edits: 30 to start on Starter, 75 a month on Professional, 150 on Marketplace.
- Copy a design from any website link, on Professional and up.
Check every change on a phone before it goes live.
Most buyers will see your site on a phone, so the Studio previews it at phone size with one click. The site itself installs on the home screen like an app and sends push notifications for messages and saved searches.

What is a classified website builder?
A tool that creates a classifieds site for you: the design, the pages and the parts visitors use to post, search and contact sellers. With Yclas it is hosted, so there is nothing to install.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The wizard, the looks and the visual editor cover the whole site. Custom CSS is there if you know it, and custom code sections are on Professional and up.
How long does it take to build a classified site?
The wizard gives you a working site in about two minutes. Most owners then spend an hour or two on their logo, colours, categories and first listings.
Can I use a classified ads website builder for a niche like cars or property?
Yes. Templates and field packs exist for cars, property and equipment, and any other niche gets its own categories and fields.
Can I change the template later?
Yes, as often as you like. Your listings, users and settings stay; only the design changes.
Is there a free plan?
There is a 15-day free trial with no credit card. After that Starter is $19 a month.
Will my site appear on Google during the trial?
No. Trial sites are hidden from search engines until you choose a plan, so you can build in peace.
Can someone build it for me?
Yes. Our team designs custom looks and sets sites up for you; see Custom design and development.
