Dating Site Needed
AIMS OF SITE
The main function of the site, is to promote online dating and offline social dating events, such as speed dating, singles events, and various other related dating services.
The idea is to provide a professional, user friendly, feature packed online dating facility, which combines the best features of the main players in the online dating world, such as Loopylove, Girls Date For Free, Pocado, Match.Com, Speedater, Chemistry, etc., whilst providing some additional features that will give the site the competitive edge. In doing this, it offers a strong marketing tool, to drive business towards the social events facility.
The idea, is to build up a database of people, that can be managed by area, sex and age groups. These people can then be alerted to upcoming events in their area by email, and via text message to their mobile phone. The administrators want then, to be able to automatically view how many people are signed up to an event in a particular area, and at the touch of a button, send a text message alert for example, notifying 24 -36 year old males, that a local event is fully booked for females, but that there are still a few male places left.
Members would initially sign up for free, create their online profile. and receive a one month completely free trial, allowing them to use all the facilities of the site, such as send & receive messages to / from all members, use the online chat, and other features, such as multiple photo uploads etc., At the end of the trial, members would be reverted to basic membership, with restricted features, and invited to upgrade to Full membership using their debit / credit card. Payments would be taken on a periodical basis. (Weekly, Monthly/ Bi Annually & Annually?). Users will only be able to show one photo, lose the use of message filtering system, who’s viewed me facility, private page and the instant messaging service. To regain use of these features, they must sign up to full membership and pay to have access to all the site benefits.
The site is intended to be easy to navigate, with all the listed features, but in an original format, which is both professional and light hearted, to ensure users enjoy the site to its’ full potential. With features such as Message Receive Filter, it should appeal particularly to females, (who are the key factor in a successful dating site), allowing them to receive messages only from people who fit their search criteria. Based on research, one of the main complaints from women about online dating, is the amount of unwanted messages they receive, which means they have to spend large amounts of time sifting through masses of messages to find any potential matches. Also, with localised dating events, the aim would be create miniature ‘Dating Communities’, all affiliated to the brand name.
For the dating events, users will be able to view a list of events in their area, book their place for the event online or by telephone and check who scored them after an event.
