Software Development: What is the best affordable software option for a Craigslist-style classified site?
JB
JB
Joy Broto Nath , Global Corporate Trainer & Strategist answered:

Craigslist is a classified ad website spread across 70 countries and 700 cities. The whole story of building a classifieds website like Craigslist started with its launch in 1995 – namely a single email was sent about 2 upcoming events in San-Francisco to around 12 people. Craig Newman, the founder of Craigslist, kept sending emails about various subjects, including events, selling, and buying. The need for a website was apparent. That is when Craigslist was created. Before Craigslist, there were only a few websites that allowed advertisements but only on a paid basis. The purpose of creating Craigslist was to give people free access to posting ads online. Craigslist is not the only classified advertisement website. There are a lot of websites like Craigslist, but Craigslist remains the most popular since it does not charge a lot and is present in 70 countries.
