When it comes to classified sites, Craigslist is really the masterpiece of them all. The simple yard sale feel and look of Craigslist makes it look drab at times, but there is power in it's humility. Craigslist's homepage is a simple blue and white and has no flash or other bandwidth hogging feature. It takes a few seconds to load and can be navigated quite easily.
It has a few important links on the left, from where you can post, check out an event calendar or just browse through some site relevant information. In the centre are the categories which are the most important part of the website. There are several categories and hundreds of subcategories. And on the right side is the navigation bar for the localities. There really isn't much else to Craigslist.

However, apart from the fact that there was no effort put in to beautify Craigslist another very striking thing about its homepage is the severely limited search option on the left. It is impossible to really find something out there. For one, it allows only a citywide search at a time and only allows it in one category. This seems to be quite a handicap for a lot of regulars. However, there is no cause for concern as there are many tools on the net which have been specifically designed to make up for this Craigslist snag. Search tools are available a dime a dozen on the internet and can seriously help a Craigslist user by saving him lots of precious time. There are excellent features on these search tools like price comparisons between eBay and Craigslist, search parameter settings and many other small but important things.
