Classifieds ads website, software questions, Open Classifieds software alternative

Hi

We are looking for software to create a classifieds ads website in Nigeria. We will start the business in Lagos (population 5 million) and from there work into the rest of the country. Nigeria's population is 180 million. We are currently using Open Classifieds. We are not happy with Open Classifieds software as it can be difficult to customise and we are having problems uploading images from Nigeria.

Can you give us software that will create a classifieds website where we can allow people to advertise their goods and services and where we can decide to charge fees for particular ads or features, such as bold listing, featured ad, etc?

Can we import data and export data in csv format or similar from your software?

Can we adapt the design of the site so the colouring is similar to zirima.com.

Can we select different views on the Home such as a slider with ad, a grid style or a listing style?

Some suppliers cost their service by user numbers. What do you mean by user or how do you define a user?

Is your software responsive, viewable on any screen size? Do you have an app with the software?

Can customers create their own page within the site?

We are based in Ireland, do you offer phone support?

Do you host it or do we host? Can we have a two month trial to test your software?

What are the costs involved with your software?

I hope this is clear for you and not too many questions. If you have questions for me please let me know.

Hi Ed,

Welcome to UltimateWB!

>Can you give us software that will create a classifieds website where we can allow people to advertise their goods and services and where we can decide to charge fees for particular ads or features, such as bold listing, featured ad, etc?

UltimateWB Full software includes a built-in Classifieds app that has those features.

> Can we import data and export data in csv format or similar from your software?

Not sure what you mean here...from your webiste admin panel you can create a backup of your website database (not csv format).  From your web hosting control panel, provided they have the feature (UltimateWB web hosting does), you can create backups of your website database in various formats, including csv.  For the purpose of creating your website, it would be recommended to use your website admin panel to create/manage your website, unless you know web programming.

>Can we adapt the design of the site so the colouring is similar to zirima.com.

You can use your website admin panel Styles Manager to design your website.  You can check out how the software works from our online Demo at https://www.ultimatewb.com/demolinks .

>Can we select different views on the Home such as a slider with ad, a grid style or a listing style?

Yes, you can include a dynamic display/list of current classifieds, for example, or create a photo gallery/slideshow for any page.

>Some suppliers cost their service by user numbers. What do you mean by user or how do you define a user? 

>Do you host it or do we host?

The software is a one-time cost, and comes with 1 year free software updates.  After that time, you may choose to buy the renewal package to get more software updates.  So the cost is not related to how many users or members you have.  But please note, the more users/members you have (people who use your website), the more web hosting resources you will need, and thus a higher web hosting package.  We do offer web hosting packages at https://www.ultimatewb.com/domain-names-web-hosting .  All UltimateWB web hosting packages come with free software installation of your purchased software onto your web hosting (still requires separate purchase of the software however).  You may also choose to use web hosting from another company, provided that they meet the software requirements, as listed at https://www.ultimatewb.com/server-requirements .

>Is your software responsive, viewable on any screen size?

The software comes with a responsive app.  You can find more info on this at: 

How to create your own responsive website without any coding! - https://www.ultimatewb.com/responsive-app/how-to-create-your-own-responsive-website-without-any-coding 

How to make content sections with custom formatting also RESPONSIVE - https://www.ultimatewb.com/responsive-app/how-to-make-content-sections-with-custom-formatting-also-responsive 

Depending on how you choose to create your website/the formatting, you may need more extensive configurations to make it responsive, rather than just turning the responsive app "on".

>Do you have an app with the software?

No, but you can have a customized app built on the software's database system.

>Can customers create their own page within the site?

UltimateWB Full comes with built-in social networking apps.  One of the features is member registration, which can include a member profile page.  You can set it up so that members can fill in their profile info, but not customize the colors/design of it without adding your own custom coding for it.

>We are based in Ireland, do you offer phone support?

No, we offer tech/sales support via email and on the forums at https://www.ultimatewb.com/forum .

>Can we have a two month trial to test your software?

>What are the costs involved with your software?

We offer online demos of our software at https://www.ultimatewb.com/demolinks , but do not offer a trial period other than that.

The costs involved are:

1) Domain name: If you already have a domain name that you own, you can use that, and point it to the nameservers of your new web hosting, or use your current web hosting if it satisfies the server requirements, as listed at https://www.ultimatewb.com/server-requirements .

2) Web hosting: Here is a list of the packages you can choose from: https://www.ultimatewb.com/domain-names-web-hosting , or you can choose web hosting from another company that satisfies the server requirements, as listed at https://www.ultimatewb.com/server-requirements .

3) Sofware: For the classifieds app/social networking apps, you would need the Full version, available for purchase at https://www.ultimatewb.com/buy .

You can check out websites built on UltimateWB at the Showcase page at https://www.ultimatewb.com/showcase .  There are also some listed on the Testimonials page at https://www.ultimatewb.com/testimonials-software-reviews  (including a Classifeds website), and you can also read more on what our customers says about UltimateWB!
