Car Portal is an advanced and easy customizable php web software for running multi-user auto classified portal websites.
It comes with a web installer and can be installed easily on a server or hosting package of your choice. All the different settings like currency, time zone, vehicle types, makes and models etc. can be easily changed from the administration panel in order to customize the script for your country and specific project requirements.
The software has many different features for both the administrators to manage the sites and for the users like functionality for the car dealers to create and manage their own micro site, email alerts in order to notify the users when new cars meeting their search criteria are listed, save the car listings, recommend them to friends, share the listings on the social networks, multi-language support and many others.
The advanced administration panel coming with the software allows the administrators to not just manage the different car portal settings, the dealers, private sellers and vehicle listins but also provides full control over the website, its structure and content, also statistics and many others. We tried to design the administration panel in our latest version to be as user friendly and easy to use as possible, offering also features for customizations like for example the possibility for the administrator to create shortcuts to the pages used more frequently on the dashboard and others.
Car Portal is provided with the full not encrypted source codes so you or developers working for you can also make modifications in them or add new features if necessary. We offer also free technical support, free installation on your host (if you prefer that we do it for you) and free powered by removal (we don't require any links back to us to be kept and there is no extra fee for that).
