I am going to create a dating site. I am experinced on HTML and CSS. What i can't find any answer for is that what else do i need in terms of scripting and / or programming. For example, when users create an account how do they do it, how is that saved, and retrieved? Also, when they do a search how will that be retrieved? I have no idea about that stuff. There are some free and paid scripting programs out there, but their templates are very amateurish. I want to create a good looking site with the features of users registration and searching capabilities. I appreciate any suggestions!

    You need to know more than HTML/CSS in order to create such a website. MySQL is needed to manage your database and other programming language like PHP, JAVA or Python in order to program whole website. Or you can use some CMS like WordPress or ImpressPages and adjust it by yourself. Good luck.

    Go to hotscripts.com and do a search for dating sites. Find one with the features you want. If you don't like the templates that comes with it you can just buy a new one from places like templatemonster.com or hire a designer.

    There is a free WSO available where you can login to a membership site which gives you all you need, incl. a ready to go membership site.

    Saves you a lot of time and headache IMO.

    Check it out here

    If you intend to code it yourself, then you'll need to learn up some scripting language like PHP, Ruby on Rails, etc. and also on database like MySQL.
    I'd suggest you check out Ruby on Rails n try making some simple application using the tutorials that you can find for free on the internet just to get a feel of it.

    Otherwise, you can get someone else to code for you or modify ready made platforms like Wordpress or find/ create a plugin to enable you to have the features of the dating site you've wanted. Then, you can get a designer to make it look more professional.

    Starting your own Internet dating site takes time, hard work, and creativity, but these sites have real potential as moneymaking businesses.
    Did you have great knowledge of programming languages like PHP,HTML and lot more. If you know how to implement these languages then you can do it yourself.But If you find difficulty in creating dating website then its a good option that you must hire a professional designer and take their advice to build website.If you need any help let me know.

    There are a couple of options:
    - Hire programmers to create a script for you.
    - Purchase a premade script
    - Purchase a premade script and hire somebody to customize it to your needs.
    - Learn programmin language and create the site yourself.

    A dating site can be very profitable, especially if you create a network of sites. But it takes some time to build up, the beginning period is the hardest to get initial members. But if you work hard you can definately achieve success

    Good luck!
