Dating Web Design: Finding the Searchers

January 18, 2008 9:56 am

          Creating a dating website is a long and tedious process. There is so much to do and no one to help you make the right decisions for you. I talked a little before about the different decisions you’ll be facing and that they have to be made one way or another before you are able to go on with your project. I also talked about finding the right web design company for you; about all the things that you should be looking for in a web design company as far as quality and price when it comes to your dating website. Another thing to think about is how much time and effort you need to put into maintaining your members. By keeping them happy, in return you’ll be happy.

          There is something more to this though. Yes, I realize that you’ve done tons of work already, so what’s a little more? After your dating website has been built there is search engine optimization that needs to be done. Search engine optimization may sound scary and for the people doing it, it is. All you need to know about it is that search engine optimization is that it’s the way people are going to find you when searching on the major engines such as Google or Yahoo. If you don’t have any SEO done your site will be very difficult to find for people searching for a dating website.  

          Although it is usually another investment, sometimes you can find a web design company that will do some SEO work for free. This is a great deal because a lot of people charge a lot of money for SEO work to be done. Since there are companies out there that spend a ton of money on SEO you can’t realistically expect to be #1 on the Google search page; especially if people are using a broad term like “dating websites”. You can however get higher in the ranks for your specific terms, for example if your a dating website based in Chicago then one of your terms would be Chicago Dating Website or something along those lines. It’s better to be in the search results at all then to forget about doing SEO and think that you can make it without.

Dating Web Design: Investing in Someone Else’s Future

7:59 am

          When deciding to create a dating website there is a lot to be aware of. You need to know how you want your website to look and feel. You should also make sure that you are hiring a good web design company that will take care of all your needs. There are so many different companies out there that it sometimes makes it hard to choose. Take you time and make sure you find the right one for you. Dating websites are an investment, no questions asked. There is going to be a lot of money involved when deciding to partake in a dating website.

          There are two aspects of the investment that you should think about. One being that you are investing money into the site itself, for it to be built. You should expect to spend a bit of money on a dating website because there is a lot that goes into it. Having your dating website done cheaper is always going to be an option. It’s not a good option because normally what a company’s idea of a great looking website and a freelancer’s idea of it are usually two different things. Trying to save money at this point will bite you in the end when people feel like your site is not very good quality and therefore not very reputable.

          The other aspect of this that you have to think about is that you are actually investing in someone else. Maybe not with money per say, but with time and work. You need to be able to have that time to put in the work so that the members using your site will be pleased with their service and their level of results. You do this because when it turns out the benefits flow in for you. Word of mouth tells people your dating website works and you see an increase in members and in turn and increase in profit. Make sure that you have the time and patience to deal with all the responsibility of having a dating website.

Dating Web Design: Who’s Your Designer?

January 17, 2008 10:44 am

          When thinking about having a dating website designed I talked before about how many different decisions there are involved in the process. You should think about what type of dating website you are going to be, and where you’re going to serve people. You should also be choosy with your web design company. You want to look professional and like a high quality organization. This is because you are leading people to believe that you are capable of helping them get matched up with people who are potentially good fits for them. By having a dating website you’re making people think that they can put their love life in your hands. This is a big deal to a lot of people. Most people would feel more comfortable with a dating website if it looked like it was designed well and if it looks reputable.

          When deciding on who will be your web designer you should have a couple things ready before going into the process. You should first go through other dating web sites and look at what you like and don’t like. Take down some notes about what functions you would like to have on your dating website. Take a look at the actual design of these other sites and also take notes on what you like and dislike. Things like color and layout will be important to have when looking for a web designer to do your dating website. Most web design companies will help you along with these decisions if you don’t have any notes or any suggestions. This is all good and fine, but I would suggest bringing something to the table, it will help you become the actual one in charge of the project and you’ll know what you’re getting and if all goes well, you’ll know that you’re going to love your website.

          By looking at the larger dating websites you can get a good feel of what people are comfortable with. You should stay along those lines while still making the website your own. Trying to be fresh and have new ideas for your website is great; just don’t go overboard with it. Try to take suggestions from your web design company to heart and actually think about what they are telling you. They have a lot of experience in the field and it would benefit you to have some inside advice on what you should be doing with your dating website.

Dating Web Design: Decisions Decisions

10:13 am

          We talked about how dating website is a big responsibility. There are a lot of things that you have to worry about when having a dating website built. There are a lot of decisions that have to be made before you can even think about having a dating website. It important to get all of the following questions out of the way before the site starts to be built.

          There are multiple types of dating websites that specialize in a whole load of different areas. You should decide if your website is going to be specialized or broad. Some of the different areas that I’m talking about are; sex preference, location, age, etc. Is your website going to be purely for men to find women and vice versa or are you going to have your dating website made so that it can be used by anyone. The same thing goes for age. Most dating websites don’t specify by age, but a few do. You need to decide if you want your dating website to pertain to singles of all ages or a specific group.

          The last example I gave was location. This is actually one of your most important decisions. You need to figure out if your going to be only available to people from a certain city or state, or available to the whole nation. Going with the option to have your dating website available to people in the whole nation instead of just a certain city or state is going to mean a lot more people using the site. This sounds good because it means that you’ll be getting paid more for the memberships but you’ll also have a whole slew of people to take care of and make sure that they get matched up with the right people who are in their area and all that. It’s definitely a bigger job than a start out dating website could probably handle. I would suggest starting out in a city or state and then moving your way up when you think you can handle more people. There may be a time when you have to hire people to manage all the extra work that you won’t be able to as one person. Try and think smart and your dating website will go far.

Dating Web Design: Love Is In The Air

9:28 am

          Dating web design is something that is used quite frequently. There are some major dating websites are on the internet these days and there are millions of people that use these sites. There are also many smaller ones that have the same functions but just aren’t built up like the others. Building a dating website is a complicated task to undertake. There is a lot that going into the programming of a dating website. If you think about it, all the members need profiles, they need to ability to be able to message other people, they need to be able to search through profiles, etc.

         There are a lot of different kinds of people that use dating websites. There are the people who have too much on their plate and don’t have the time to spend out on the town looking for that special someone. There are also those who just can’t stand the whole bar scene, I know because I’m one of them. I don’t like it and I don’t feel like it’s a good way to meet someone serious. These people who will end up using your website are going to be depending on it to find them someone whom they have something in common with. Although there is a lot of money to be made in a dating website, there is also a lot of responsibility that comes along with it. You have to treat this business with a great seriousness.

          Don’t try and dupe your customers by any type of falseness. Do what your supposed to otherwise your website will become unused by anyone. People will be very disappointed with the quality of services that you provide and eventually your site will be of no use to you or anyone. Having a dating website is like owning a little business, there is a lot of money to be made if you treat your customers well and with respect and dignity.
