If you are bored with traditional classified advertisements websites you should hang your eye on our last release. In the JM MyOffer Joomla classified ad template, we introduce a new and trending approach to presenting adverts on the website.
What kind of classified advertising website is this Joomla template?
We have created this Joomla template for an advertising portal, where everyone can quickly and easily sell their unnecessary or used things of all kinds, starting from clothes, toys through furniture, electronics, to bikes and cars. The inspiration for creating this classified ads template was offerup.com portal.
Masonry blog and lazy loading for displaying classified ads
Are you wondering how to efficiently and effectively present the adverts on your website? On the home page of the JM MyOffers demo site, we introduce a completely new category view of DJ-Classifieds classified advertising extension for Joomla which is called as masonry blog. This view combined with the full width of the page allows you to display a very large number of ads on a relatively small area.
What is more, the large number of adverts does not affect the page load time due to the lazy loading feature which is implemented to the view.
In order to use the masonry blog layout, you need the AJAX app for classified ads extension DJ-Classifieds that you get for free with the classified ads template. The app has other interesting features like instant page load for categories, pagination, filtering, and ordering. More details about the plugin you can read in the tutorial.
If you are not convinced of the masonry blog layout, you can also display ads using a classic blog, table or smart table view.
Sell any type of products using custom fields
DJ-Classifieds gives you the possibility to create an unlimited number of extra fields. You can assign a different set of custom fields for each category and display them in the advert details along with the full description.
Custom fields can be also included in the search module to filter the search results.
Do you like this advertiser? Share your opinion!
Let visitors and customers rate and review sellers and their products. The excellent rating has a very big impact on the number of transactions and it will be a goal for every seller who wants to build a customer confidence and own reliability.
What is more, encourage sellers to sell many items at the same time by publishing a module with other adverts from the same seller:
Classified ad sales options
Sellers can offer their items in few different ways.
Contact this advertiser
It can be a standard advert where a buyer can contact a seller using a contact form, then they can meet together to finish the transaction.
Auctions
Another way is displaying an auction where buyers can place their bid. A seller can set a reserve price, minimum and maximum bids as well as the buy now option for speedy sales.
Make offer
From DJ-Classifieds 3.7.1 version, a new Offers app will be available. It allows a buyer to make an offer to a seller and the seller decides whether to accept the offer or not.
What search view you like best?
Can you imagine a classified advertisement website without the ability to search and filter results? Probably not, because it is the most important tool on that kind ofclassified advertising websites. The JM MyOffers Joomla classified ads template comes with an advanced search engine with many interesting and powerful features, so the potential buyer will be able to quickly filter thousands of adverts on the site to find the most interesting ones and from the nearest area.
