Corporate Edition
Why Choose the Corporate Edition?
What distinguishes e-Classifieds?
- Powerful database searching capabilities, including our unique range searching abilities. For example, your users will be able to conduct searches based upon specified criteria such as the city, or based upon a price range, number of bedrooms and bathrooms (for housing ads), age range (for personal ads), specific features (such as automatic or manual transmission for auto ads, or fireplace, etc. for housing ads), date range, and many, many more. With our "Auto-Notify service", users can set up their own personal search agent that automatically retrieves and sends them new ads matching their desired criteria.
- Easy setup because we install and configure the program for you. There's no software to download or install.
- Unparalleled support because we include free support forever, for as long as you use the software.
- Free upgrades forever ensure that you're always up to date.
- Scalable to millions of ads.
- Secure through the use of encryption-based authentication for the administrator, security conscious coding techniques, and a fully locked down, known server environment that avoids the myriad configuration problems and security holes that plague old fashioned "scripts".
- Configurable through a multitude of options. There are numerous variables for setting fonts, colors, and other aspects of the program's appearance. You can also change the general layout of all HTML pages generated by the program. e-Classifieds even lets you easily add advertising banners to your pages.
- Loaded with dozens of powerful features found nowhere else. In fact, no other classifieds program on the market even comes close to offering the rich feature set found in e-Classifieds.
- Stylish interface that is attractive, professional, and easy to use.
- Standards compliant feature set includes compliance with XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS 2.1, UTF-8 (for all international character sets), XML, RSS, and more.
- Continuously and automatically updated. For example, our zip code radius search feature is unique and unrivaled by mere "scripts" because our zip code database is continuously and automatically updated for all of our customers, without the need to manually send out update patches that the customer would need to install every day or every week, as would be necessary to keep an old fashioned PHP, Perl, ASP, or other type of script up to date.
