Classified website development that starts with the hard part done.

Classified website development usually means months of building listings, search, accounts and payments before any of your own ideas get built. We start from Yclas, where all of that already works, and spend your budget on what makes your site different: its design, its features, its integrations and moving your listings in.

What we build

A classified website development company that works on its own platform.

We are the team that writes Yclas. When we build for you, it is on the same code we maintain every day, so your custom work keeps getting our updates.

Custom themeYour own layout, home page and brand, designed for your market and built for phones.
Features and integrationsNew fields, workflows, payment providers or connections to systems you already run.
Moving to YclasYour listings, users and photos brought over from another platform, with redirects for old links.
Ongoing developmentA monthly plan with our developers for sites that keep growing.
Already built

A readymade classified website, before we write a line.

Listings with your fields, search with filters and maps, accounts, messages, offers, featured listings, memberships, moderation, SEO and an admin for all of it are already there on day one. You do not pay us to build any of it, and you can use your site while we work on the custom parts.

  • Start the site yourself with the free trial, then send us the link.
  • Your team learns the admin while the design is being made.

Custom theme

A design of your own, on top of every Yclas feature.

Motor Gear Trader, a powersports marketplace, is one example: we designed its brand-led home page, category photos and layout, and it runs on the same Yclas software and admin as every other site. A custom theme is yours alone, and the platform under it keeps updating.

  • You review the design before we build it.
  • Built for phones first, like every Yclas look.

Features and integrations API on every plan · webhooks on Professional

Connect your site to the systems you already run.

Many integrations need no custom code: every plan has a REST API, and Professional adds webhooks for Zapier and Make, so a new listing or a new user can reach your CRM or a spreadsheet. When you need more, such as a new payment provider or a dealer stock feed, we build it.

  • Webhooks with a delivery log and resend.
  • New field types and workflows built by our team.

Moving to Yclas

Your listings, users and photos, moved for you.

The importer reads CSV files and exports from Osclass, Flynax, LaraClassifier and WordPress, with a dry run before anything is saved and an undo for the latest import. For anything else, or when you would rather not do it yourself, we move the site for you and set up redirects so old links keep working.

Questions

Classified website development FAQ

Part of:

What does classified website development cost?

It depends on the work. Our brief form has bands from under $2,000 to more than $15,000, and we send a fixed quote before anything starts. The plan for your site is separate.

Are you a classified website development company?

Yes, for sites on Yclas. We build custom themes, features and integrations, and move sites from other platforms. We do not build on other software.

Can I get a readymade classified website instead?

Yes. Every Yclas plan is a readymade classified website: pick a look, add your categories and start. Custom development is optional.

Do I own the code?

You own your design, your content and your data, and you can export everything. Yclas itself is a hosted service, so there is no access to the code, database or FTP.

Will my custom design break when Yclas updates?

No. We build it on the same platform we maintain, and your site keeps receiving updates under your design.

Is custom work covered by the money-back guarantee?

No. The 30-day money-back guarantee covers plans. Custom design and development work is quoted and agreed separately.

Can you move my site from another script?

Yes. The importer handles Osclass, Flynax, LaraClassifier, WordPress and CSV files, and our team moves anything else.
