Dating site (Please give feedback)

Discussion in 'Websites' started by GamesPond, Apr 21, 2010.

    Hi, my site is very new and Im looking for some feedback, tips and maybe interest you in signing up :)
    at the moment the site only has a few members but im not expecting people to join by the hundreds right away.

    My site - http://www.EasyNetDating.com

    The main reasons I wanted to make a online dating site is help others find love, friendship and romance and the other reason to maybe make an income down the track from it. Ive owned many sites but always wanted to go down this path.
    Im thinking about keeping the site 100% free as well because I could see a lot of potential hassles down the road if I make it paid?

    The main goal of the site is to be easy to navigate, clean design and be fun and successful.

    Please help out by leaving your honest reviews :)

    cheers and thank you.

    Overall setup is good. But seriously you need to do something about that logo and the background color. I would encourage yu to make the logo background white becuase right now it looks brutal. Other than that the site looks decent.

    Wow! Nice dating site. It looks like you know what you are doing.
    I like the colors.
    I like the logo ...although the writing "Online Dating made Easy" is a bit hard to read.
    Very good use of keywords.
    Good use of profile pictures on your index page.
    The only thing I would suggest is perhaps to make the couples image near the top a bit bigger, along with the section that says why members should join.

    Best of luck.

    I like the design; however, you should consider using a lighter color or white color background. In addition, to improve your conversion rate you should add trust seals to the footer of your Web site.

    I agree, definitely change the background color. From there you should be good to go. Start marketing and building backlinks!

    The site designs great. But the background is not fine. Try to do a lot of quality backlinks, more and more people will join in.

    black background?!? i think for dating sites black colour is not suitable ...
    imho use soft color background such as soft pink, soft blue, etc.

    add an icon (so that people will recognize your site when they see it in their browser's tab)

    Nice site. I would probably fix the stock image with the couple. Their faces are a little bit squashed. ) Overall good.
    Love that ginger beer))

    Thank you all for your very helpful tips and kind remarks :)
    Im thinking maybe I should have one of those logo competitions on DP and will have to do something with the background I guess.

    @inatmo thanks, yes that ginger beer is awesome but I prefer the rum :) you have some great templates there to by the way. Have bookmarked your site for future projects.

    Thanks everyone this all means a lot to me, any feed back is good to me as I really want to make a go of this site, cheers

    You say you are the "#1 site for online dating". Since you are not the #1 site, you immediately get off on the wrong foot . . . saying something that everyone knows isn't true. It can be a "free site", "fun site", "new site", or a zillion other things that are true and easy for people to accept. Also, you want people's email addresses, but you have no privacy policy . . . big no no. People are not going to just throw their emails out there with no assurance that you have a policy and are going to respect their privacy. Especially on a dating site.

    Good point with the #1 dating site part I will change that. But I do have a privacy policy see bottom of http://easynetdating.com/page/tos/
    I will do some touching up on it though..thanks for the pointers.
