Local classifieds for your town, campus or community, built from your description
People post ads by area and category, with photos and a price, and others search and reply to the poster. You moderate posts, remove spam and decide which categories exist.
Craigslist is a classified ads website for jobs, housing, items for sale, services and community notices, organised by city.
Ask for the features marked Included and Fabricate builds them into your Craigslist-style app. The ones marked Not built in are here so you know before you start.
For sale, wanted, housing, jobs, services and events, or the categories you choose, for each area you cover.
IncludedA title, a description, a price and photos on each post, and an expiry date after which it comes down.
IncludedSearch by keyword, category, area and price.
IncludedReaders reply through the site, and the poster sees replies in their account without showing their email.
IncludedReaders flag a post, and you hide, edit or remove posts and block accounts from an admin page.
IncludedOn Pro and Max, posts in categories you choose, such as jobs or housing, can cost a fee through Stripe Checkout into your own Stripe account.
IncludedPaying a seller through the site is not built in; buyers and sellers settle between themselves.
Not built inForwarding replies to the poster's own inbox by email is not built in; posters read replies in the site.
Not built inTell Fabricate what features you want in your Craigslist clone. Be as specific or general as you like.
Fabricate builds it as a web app with its own database and sign-in, and on Pro and Max card payments into your own Stripe account. Try it in the preview and ask for changes in the same chat.
Publish your clone with one click on Pro, and share its link with your first users.
A Craigslist clone is a classifieds site: plain posts by area and category, easy to search and easy to answer. Built with Fabricate, it is one web app made from your description, with a sign-in for posters, its own database and an admin page for you.
Posts and replies: each post has a title, a description, a price, photos and an expiry date. Readers search by keyword, category, area and price, and reply through the site, so the poster sees replies in their account without sharing an email address.
Moderation and fees: readers flag posts and you hide or remove them and block accounts. On Pro and Max, the app can take card payments through Stripe Checkout, paid into your own Stripe account, which you connect under More > Payments. That suits a fee on jobs or housing posts, with everything else free.
What is not built in: payments between buyers and sellers, replies forwarded by email, maps of where a post is, and phone apps from the App Store or Google Play. Photos can be shown on posts, up to your plan's storage, and each one is public to anyone with its link.
