Category — Site Showcase

1. Can you tell us a little about you or your site.

LabSales.com.au is the first of many planned websites under the same label, some of which will be in different languages. It is a “Scientific Classifieds Marketplace” where people can buy and sell scientific equipment. We have a huge number of categories, over 400 in fact and our goal has been to simplify as much as possible the process of buying and selling. I think we have achieved that.

2. I see Hills Web Design in the footer did they design your site?

Actually, I am “Hills Web Design” and this site has been developed for my client. We are a small, growing company and have been operating for just over 1 year now and this project has been probably the largest we have taken on. Using and modifying 68classifeds has been the easy part, the time consuming aspect from a web developers point of view has been the constant cries from the client, “can the site do this?” and the answer has almost always been “Yes!”

3. Since you are Hills Web Design do you offer design or modification work for 68 Classifieds?

Yes, I would be happy to do some design and/or 68 Classifieds modification work. Just visit Hills Web Design and get in touch.

4. What made you choose 68 Classifieds?

Well, there wasn’t really many classifieds systems to choose from and I initially chose this system because of the active community of people using it. The site has been quite heavily modified from the “out of the box” package, and 68classifieds lends itself very well to being modified.The support from the developers and other users via the forum is second to none. As a web developer, the flexibility of this system and the support that has been provided has made my choice of 68classifeds a good one indeed.

5. Are you using any modules with your site?

Yes, we are currently using numerous modules, some of which were developed outside of 68classifieds. We are using, Ad reporting, Incomplete listings reminder, a “Banner Advertising” module and a “Bulk Upload System” which allows to inject ads in bulk directly into the system, this is a must for a large classifieds site like this one.

6. Any additional details you would like to share?

Thanks for the support from the developers and the community! I look forward to building more sites with your software and I will be purchasing numerous licenses from you guys in the near future as we expand our operations internationally.

1. Tell us a little about you.

My Name is David Anthony Schnoblen. I am 29 years old; I live outside of Metro Detroit Michigan. I received an Associates Degree in Vehicle Design and later went back to school to receive a Bachelors of Science in Computer Systems Management. I worked in the automotive design & engineering field for about 10 years. I am engaged to a beautiful girl that is very supportive and extremely patient, since I spent a lot of Friday nights home or at her house working the website. My parents and siblings were also supportive on the development of the site. Without them and my sister going through a divorce, MyDivorceSales.com would have been probably never created.

2. What made you choose 68 Classifieds?

I have chosen 68 Classifieds, due to the fact it was really everything I was looking for in a software bundle. Also, being open source helped a lot for the development of the site. I was looking for some custom features to integrate in to my site that I could not have done with other software that I thought of purchasing. I also like the fact, that there is an active forum, where people can collaborate to share ideas and get help from the support staff as well as other users.

3. Are you using any modules with your site?

Yes, I am using “Ad Reporting, Listing Status Reminder, phpbb UserShare, Ratings modules.”

4. Any additional details you would like to share?

My web site is called MyDivorceSales.com, it was primarily developed for my sister and everybody else that has gone through a divorce to sell their unwanted items. Although, it is a web site for divorced couples, everybody is welcome to divorce their unwanted items at MyDivorceSales.com. If somebody has advice or tips that they would like to share, they can sign up to chat in our forums or write a blog.

We have decided to start a new site showcase section on our blog to showcase some of our customers. Our customer base is very broad with customers having horse classifieds, auto classifieds, motorcycle classifieds, and even very niche topics like pigeon racing and pinball classifieds. So if you would like to get your site showcased then please get in touch and we will see what we can come up with. If you would like to take part just contact us and put “Site Showcase” in the subject.

Please keep in mind we will not be able to showcase every site and the more custom the better.
