I've created an online dating site and tried to keep it clean and simple. I've also tried to make it intuitive for the end user so creating a profile will be quick and easy.

Please have a look and let me know what you think. I would love to hear your feedback (good or bad) The sites link is in my sig at the bottom or you can click here.

Thanks,
-Paul

    First of all your colour choices don't look inviting. For the dating site it looks boring. More like some blog or social site.

    You need lots of pictures of girls and guys on your home page. Ok, may be 4-5 will be enough. But do change the colours in your theme. Bring the life to your site. Put some slogan on under the title.

      Thanks for the feedback, I like your idea of adding a slogan under the title.

    I definitely like what you're going for - to be the best 100% free dating site. Doesn't look much like a dating site right now. Maybe that's what you're going for - a site without all the inuendo? If so, cool. I'd just suggest adding a few relevant images since visitors are going to "see" before they "read" what the site has to offer. Make it a little more enticing and that's what's going to make the visitor want to signup and actually help you become the best 100% free dating site. Might even signup myself.

      Thanks for the great feedback. That is the look I'm going for and I am trying to stay away from the cookie cutter looking dating sites. Good point about a few more relevant images.

      Thanks again for the feedback,

      • Paul,

        I quite like the layout.

        It's def. missing some branding aspects. My eyes had to hunt around to see what the site was. The Next Generation of Free Online Dating tells you but it doesnt jump off the page at me.

        I would consider decreasing the Facebook section in size and increasing your logo size and place a short tagline under or next to the logo. Maybe 100% FREE Dates or Where You Never Pay To Date etc.

        Remember you want people to instantly know what they are dealing with.

        Good luck

          Laurence,

          Great feedback, working on a site you just assume everyone can easily see what you intended but stepping back and asking others for feedback is a great way to put things into perspective.

          Based on your feedback I really need to put some emphasis on the branding/logo.

          Thanks for your help,
          -Paul

    Paul, I like the website. I would ad a litle color to it to warm it up. Agree that the Facebook log in should e smaller and make a Logo with a Slogan. All in all I think it is a nice site. Good luck with it.

      Thanks and I appreciate the feedback. I really need to spend some more time with the logo and branding I guess.

    I think the layout is really clean and simple. That is def. the right approach. Like everyone else color choice can be better. I can even see just some real subtle color will do wonders. You don't need to overkill the colors.

      Thanks, any suggestions for a punch of color? Many people have mentioned that but I'm not sure what or where I should use it.

      Feedback appreciated.

      Thanks,

    Usage of some fiverr gigs going on there? Atleast it looks like that. . .... Tried to use your "attractiveness" app and you need to work on that a bit more. Just keeps on saying "You need to choose a file first" even after I've chosen the file several times. If there are size or pixel limits list them. The UI is clean and website is very responsive.

    Your logo should be more prominent. And. . .. having the apps is fine but I think you should seriously think about a mobile version of your website as well. Although Andriod and Apple apps will cover the vast majority of users.

    Oh btw, goodluck on your endaver!

      Thanks for the feedback, I'll have a look at the "attractiveness" app and see what the issue is. I assumed you clicked upload after the file selection.

      How big was the image you were trying to upload? Just trying to troubleshoot it.

      Thanks,

    The image was only a few hundred K, as such if there are any limitations you should list them. And jasomnet means there's 14.5k other dating sites on the web and how do you intend to promote it to get traffic.

      thanks, the image might have been too small. I'll test it today.

      Thanks for the clarification on 14.5. Turns out for the search term: "free dating site" there are actually 107 million results. The good news is I've found an SEO master on this forum who has brought that term to 25 in google. It continues to rise so hopefully I'll see the first page of google in the next couple of months.

        Your webpage is a little busy. Its hard to distinguish the different sections. You can make better use of the real estate by making everything a little bigger. And you need bigger Call To Action buttons. Add contrasting colors to make it pop.

        Also push the app buttons to the bottom of the page and center them?

    Nice. All you have to do is to promote it so that it will become visible online.

    A very clean and simple layout, but to me it looks a bit boring. You should use some colors in order to make it look more "convenient" and attract people to register there.

    nice site, just color scheme choice, try more vibrant colors, also more photos of guys and girls as it is a dating site, me myself would be interested to join when I see lots of beautiful women there.

    Overall it's a great looking site very minimalist design but lacks some good colors and a good font to match on it.

    The idea to put that image of a girl looks really good to me. I would do something like go daddy did. i would use her for promotional purposes.
    It is clean. That is what I hate about the usual similar websites. User is not sure where to click. This is good. I wish you all well.

    The site is quite nice - most definitely for a dating site is missing all the lovely ladies and lads, but great effort!

    Sites functionality is perfect but it needs more colors of life, brand your site, a slider would be perfect addition for visitors, like "Nivo Sliders" a quick search form will also appeal visitors to explore more fun inside...

    it seems to look to simple to be a dating site, needs more colors or flashiness i think. plus dont like the girl much.

    it is not bad too bad since it is not a premium dating site. But if it was a premium dating site i will suggest you give it a good graphics touch add a female male and female connecting photos, so that the people will really be attracted to register for free.

    Very nice and a simple interface. Such sites should be simple and not too graphic intensive as the focus should really be on the functionality and ease of use rather than making the site too flashy.

      Love the look and feel of your site - very clean! I think you just need to add an "about us" page or a blurb about your company to put some trust in there for the visitor signing up. However, you've done a great job. It looks very professional!
