Why Choose the Professional Edition?

- The ability for users to include multiple photos with their ads
- User interface enhancements
What distinguishes the distributed version of the e-Classifieds Professional Edition?
Quite simply, our high-end classified ads programs are the best classified ads programs that you can buy. Our programs contain features available nowhere else, and we are continuously improving our products in order to remain the premium vendor of web-based classifieds solutions. We have seen some vastly inferior classified ads programs out there that claim to have similar features, but these features don't even work in their programs. Moreover, these programs cost as much or more than e-Classifieds, and they have an interface that only a mother could love (in other words, they're ugly). Don't be ripped off by these other programs. Here are some of the features of our high-end programs that are missing in other programs:
- Powerful database searching capabilities. With other inferior programs, your users will not be able to conduct searches based upon 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.
- Portable to virtually any server. Most of the other programs will not even work on Windows NT/2000. Our program has been specifically designed to work on both Unix and Windows NT/2000. Even if you're using Unix, our program will give you more flexibility in that you will be able to easily port it to a Windows server if you ever decide to move your web site for some reason.
- Scalable to hundreds of thousands of ads. Other programs are not nearly as scalable as ours. You certainly don't want to lock yourself into a program that will not be able to expand as your site grows. Our program, on the other hand, is scalable to hundreds of thousands of ads. Moreover, our program gives your users the option of displaying as few as 10 ads per page, or as many as 250. In fact, you can easily change these settings to whatever you want.
- Secure through the use of encryption-based authentication for the administrator. Other programs have very serious security deficiencies. In some programs, the administrative password is simply stored as plain text within a configuration file. As you may already be aware, this is very dangerous, because other people can potentially see this file and get access to your administrative password. Then they can alter your program, and possibly other files on your server. Under our program, the administrative password is stored as an encrypted password in a separate file, so that that file or directory can also be password-protected for double protection. Even if someone was able to find it, all they would see is a bunch of computer gibberish, so they wouldn't be able to do any damage.
- Configurable through a myriad of options. No other programs offer as many configuration options as e-Classifieds. In addition to changing font text or colors, e-Classifieds also lets you change the general HTML layout for the entire page through special header and footer variables (These two variables do not modify the "guts" of the program such as the forms created on the fly. Some of these can be changed relatively easily, but others can be tricky. We may be able to assist you with modest customizations). e-Classifieds even lets you easily add banners to your pages. No other classified ads program available offers you this option.
Moreover, the e-Classifieds Professional Edition is part of a family of classified ads programs that includes our high-end, database-driven Commerce, Premium, and Corporate Editions, which offer unrivaled performance and features. As a result, it benefits from our expertise as the market leader in producing premium-quality web-based classifieds solutions. In addition, all of these programs share a similar interface, and registered owners of the Professional Edition are eligible for discounted upgrades to the higher versions. That way, you won't have to face the dilemma of either being forever locked into a low-end solution or having to pay full purchase price again later on to obtain a higher-end program, as you would if you were to purchase from one of our competitors, who do not even offer any high-end versions. No matter what your budget may be, we have a classifieds program designed for you.
