Local Ads started as a free classifieds service early in 2006 and has since then strengthened its market position as the UK’s most innovative and easy to use classifieds ads portal. Not only is LocalAds totally free for private individuals, it is also free for businesses who can easily create their very own LocalAds online store as well as listing products. Whilst the main focus remains classifieds, two new innovative products, totally free, have recently been released for Charity Shops and Communities.

We believe community boards will be invaluable to parents and teachers for organising club and social events. Huge interest has also been expressed by Church groups so it will be interesting to see how it develops. This is a great example of how the latest web technology can benefit communities and all for free
