A listing website builder for any kind of listing.
Yclas is a listing website builder: one platform for a directory of businesses, a classifieds board, a rentals site or a property portal. You decide what a listing is, which fields it has and what visitors filter on, and the search, map, accounts, messages and payments come ready.

A listings website is defined by its fields.
A café, a used car and a holiday flat are all listings. What changes is what people need to know before they get in touch, and how they search. That is all settings in Yclas.
The same listing platform builder, four ways.
Real screenshots of demo sites made with Yclas. Each one is the same product with different fields and a different look.
You decide what a listing is.
Create categories and add fields to each: text, numbers, dropdowns, checkboxes, dates. A field can be required, shown on the card, and used as a filter. For common kinds of listing a pack adds the fields in one click: opening hours and services for businesses, make and mileage for vehicles, bedrooms and area for property, hours, power and capacity for equipment.
- Expiry and renewal so stale listings leave on their own.
- Import from a spreadsheet, or move from another script.
Visitors narrow thousands of listings to five.
Keyword, category, location and every field you made a filter, plus a map and distance search. Visitors save a search and get new matches by email. On paid plans, AI search reads a plain sentence such as "quiet café with free Wi-Fi in Clifton" and turns it into filters.
- Map search with OpenStreetMap, or Google Maps with your own key.
- AI search: 500 to 2,000 searches a month, by plan.
Listings people book, not only contact.
On Professional and Marketplace, a listing can take booking requests by the day, night, hour or session. Booked dates are crossed out, the total shows before the request, and search gets an "Available on" date. On Marketplace, paid bookings take a card payment when the owner accepts.
- Price rules for weekends, seasons and longer stays.
- An iCal link to show bookings in another calendar.
Charge for what listers value.
Pay to post in chosen categories, featured listings, bumps and boost packages, banner space and, on Professional, memberships for businesses that list a lot. Payments go to your own Stripe or PayPal account. Yclas takes no commission.
- Prices per category, so property can cost more than bicycles.
- Marketplace plan: checkout and your commission on every sale.
What each kind of listing site needs.
Pick the row closest to your idea. Every part named here is in Yclas; the last column says where.
| Kind of site | What visitors need | Where it is in Yclas |
|---|---|---|
| Business directory | Hours, map, reviews, a way to ask for a quote | Directory mode and the directory fields, every plan |
| Classifieds | Price, photos, condition, message the seller | Every plan, with offers in chat |
| Rentals | Dates free, total price, a booking request | Bookings, Professional and up |
| Property | Bedrooms, area, a map, viewing requests | The property pack, every plan |
| Vehicles or equipment | Make, model, year, mileage or hours | The vehicles and equipment packs, every plan |
| Several of these | One search across them | Categories with their own fields, on one site |
The packs and directory mode are switched on in Settings. Property listings do not connect to MLS or IDX feeds.
Everything the listing website builder includes.
Starter is $19 a month for up to 5,000 listings; Professional and Marketplace add more listings, bookings and selling tools.

What is a listing website builder?
Software that makes a site where many people or businesses publish listings and visitors search them: a directory, classifieds, rentals or property site. Yclas is hosted, so you build it in the browser and we run it.
Can one listing website builder handle different kinds of listings?
Yes. Each category has its own fields, so a site can list businesses, items for sale and rentals side by side, with one search.
Do I need to code?
No. Categories, fields, filters, the look and payments are all settings. Custom code sections are there on Professional if you want them.
Can listings be booked?
Yes, on Professional and Marketplace: by the day, night, hour or session, with a calendar on the listing.
How much does it cost?
Starter is $19 a month, Professional $99 and Marketplace $149. Yclas takes no commission on what your site earns.
Can I move listings from another site?
Yes. Import from a spreadsheet, or ask us to move you from Osclass and other scripts. Redirects keep old links working.
Will listings show up on Google?
Yes, once you are on a paid plan. Every listing has its own page, title and description, and the sitemap updates itself.
