68 Classifieds Blog

Site Showcase - LabSales

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.
