ClassiPress was designed to use the core WordPress features. Each classified ad essentially just uses the WordPress posts functionality and custom fields for the meta information (phone, image locations, end date, location, price, email, etc). The WordPress page functionality works just like normal. When you create a new page it adds a link to it in the footer. ClassiPress even plays nice with most WordPress certified 3rd party plugins (not all plugins have been tested against ClassiPress).

Here are some additional ClassiPress screen shots from behind the scenes within the WordPress admin area:
