A classifieds CMS for listings and everything around them.

Yclas is a classifieds CMS: the listings your users post and the content you write live in one admin. Pages, a blog, an FAQ, a forum, menus, email templates and search titles sit next to categories, fields and moderation, so you never run a second system to explain your site.

BlogBuying guides and news for your niche, with categories, search titles and AI drafts to start from.
FAQ and forumAnswers grouped by topic, and a forum where your community talks beyond single listings.
EmailsEvery email the site sends is a template you can rewrite, in each language, plus newsletters.

Pages and home page Every plan · code sections on Professional

Pages and a home page you can rearrange.

Create as many pages as you need, each with its own address, search title and description, and link them from the header or footer menus. The home page is built from sections in the Studio, so a welcome text, a list of featured dealers or a map can sit between your listings.

  • Header and footer HTML for a notice, a banner or a script from Theme options.
  • Widgets for sidebars, and custom CSS on every plan.
  • Custom code sections with your own HTML, CSS and scripts, on Professional and up.

Write the guides that bring buyers in.

A blog with categories is built in, and every post has its own search title and description. AI writes a first draft from a topic for you to edit: 5 a month on Starter, 10 on Professional and 20 on Marketplace. The FAQ groups answers by topic, and the forum gives your community a place to talk.

  • Posts and FAQ entries each with their own search title and description.
  • Rich text editor with images uploaded to your media library.

Emails Every plan

Every email your site sends, in your words.

Welcome, new message, listing approved, listing about to expire, payment received: each is a template you can rewrite in each language your site speaks. Send from your own name and address, through the platform or your own SMTP, Gmail, Outlook or Zoho account. Newsletters go to your users from the same admin.

  • Templates per language, copied across with one click.
  • No "Powered by Yclas" in emails on paid plans.

SEO fields Every plan

Search titles on content and listings alike.

Set a title pattern once for the home page, categories, locations, listings, blog posts and pages, then override it on any single page. Old addresses redirect by themselves when you rename something, and the 404 log shows any link that still lands nowhere.

  • Sitemaps with every listing, post and page.
  • Structured data for listings, so search engines read price and availability.

What is a classifieds CMS?

Is Yclas PHP classified software?

Yes. Yclas is written in PHP, on the Kohana framework. It is hosted, so you use it through the admin and never install PHP yourself.

Is there a blog?

Yes. Export everything gives you one ZIP with listings, users, categories, locations, custom fields, pages and blog posts, plus photos.
