Custom Dating Site
If truth be told, a majority of site builders give you generic-looking site. These builders lack the professional team composed of members who listen and work with you to create the site that you visualize. Especially if you want to join the industry of online dating, you must create a site that battles the big possibility of a fail. This is because of the mindset that online dating has quick results thereby making users unhappy quickly. So provide the right expectations and keep your members perpetually entertained with a custom dating site.
Why would you want to invest in a dating site?
In the US alone, the target market is huge. Statistics show that there are 90 million singles that are between the ages of 19 to 45. On top of that, about forty percent of users of online dating sites are married so your market is not really limited to a certain demographic.
Because investors believe that the industry of online dating is a recession-proof business, there are several thousands of dating sites accessible online today. There is no opportunity for a "first mover" advantage in this field so you will be directly competing with thousands of sites all at once.
So how can you make your site stand out?
First, you must dress it like it's always ready for a date. The Chameleon site builder has one template that is included in its most basic package. If you use that, your site is good to go. It can already attract the attention of a good number of your target market. But if you want to own the market, you need a custom dating site that features colors and designs that fit your users' taste and basically explain what your site is all about.
Next, you need to have all the basic features that any other custom dating site contains. So you will have communication tools, profile modules, as well as photo modules. If you're using Chameleon, you can take advantage of the 3D City Second Life Virtual Chat which shows your avatar interacting with other users. You can even manipulate the background to encourage usage.
Chameleon also has a host of other features that are a first for dating sites. There's the video chat, which is an essential tool if you want to meet a new friend vis-à-vis. Then, there's the Geo Social Networking which helps filter your search results based on the location. A profile comments module is also there for friends to leave comments in your profile. The good thing is, activating and deactivating it completely depends on you.
Lastly, your custom dating site needs to have Flash-based games to entertain your users when they're already feeling a bit bored. Since your target market is between the ages of 19 and 45, you need games that appeal to them. Chameleon has all these and its gallery of games is even updated often. All games are developed by Chameleon engineers so you can be certain of their originality. If you get members hooked in any of the games, they'll stay longer because they can't find it anywhere else.
So the above-mentioned points are your keys to creating a custom dating site that stands out. Always think about your users and you'll soon be on top of all dating sites.
