Classifieds Software Overview

Similar to the theory that the life originated in the ocean, the origin of our classifieds software started with the ocean too, or to be precise with boats and yachts, which navigate the ocean, and for which the new software was intended. The original name of the Company and of the product was reefLESS, hoping that the way for our software will be free of reefs and other obstacles. Even though we didn't hit the reefs, we had to overcome difficulties of an online start-up. When writing the code, we sometimes doubted whether we’ll be able to take our niche in the market or not, which was already shared by a few classified companies by that time.


It took us a year to write a code of our first script. All doubts dispelled, the first version of our classifieds software released, full of positive expectations. We still remember our first customer. It was a moment of truth that all our efforts weren’t a waste of time but the real attempt to succeed in the classifieds software market. Flynax took its first breath with version 3.2 when the Company was also rebranded into Flynax. Having covered a long way, Flynax was taken to new heights and performance setting a new benchmark in the classifieds area.

Framework

PHP classifieds software

Flynax Software is a PHP script developed based on the MVC architecture representing a unique CMS, which supports a plugin system, graphical templates (SMARTY template engine) and language system. Flynax uses MySQL as the database server and also different javascript libraries for making the user interface dynamic. We try to keep pace with the latest technologies and web trends adding new and wanted things to every update.

Features

Features and flexibility are tightly interconnected: the more features classifieds software has the more flexible it is. Flynax offers an impressive list of admin and user features that give you freedom and enough flexibility to start a custom project targeting a particular product or a large marketplace with multiple listing types and categories from back end without getting into the code.

Our feature-packed CMS allows you to rearrange structure of the entire site, add custom sections with their own categories, plans and fields, add custom pages, manage listing and registration forms and do many other things. With every update or upgrade we add more features to make Flynax software even more flexible and functionally powerful.

If the software basic functionality doesn’t offer you the things you want, you may check our plugins, some of which offer really massive functionality and can significantly boost your site.

SMO & SEO Friendly

Today search optimization is taken as a complex process involving two major elements: search engine optimization and social media optimization. Flynax offers you both SEO and SMO tools to make sure that your site will take a decent position in the SERP. Apart from standard search engine optimization functions like building SEO friendly URLs, Flynax also gives you the ability to generate meta data with field values, which in URLs might be connected with syntax. Even if you choose to change the order of fields, you have nothing to worry about as the system will find the latest listing of the two and mark it as the main one allowing you to avoid duplicate content in search engines.


Classifieds software features

For indexing links you can use our Sitemap plugin that generates XML sitemap files for Google and Yahoo. To prevent duplicate content in case of sorting or filtering, the software offers canonical meta tags.

The software has a clear division between contents of different language versions, which allows you to increase content of your site and traffic to it accordingly. Such plugins as SSL certificate, Navigation and Tag сloud will also contribute to better SERPs.


As part of SMO we offer you facebook connect, Bookmark and Share and Social meta tags plugins to make sure that your users can sign up with their Facebook accounts and share their listings in social networks.
