If a product is expensive, this does not mean that it is better than
some other affordable products. If you keep this in mind and compare
the list of features you'll find products that cost less and are
easier to customize for your needs and plans to achieve success on
the market. You can start with cheaper packages but you must always
target upgrading and using a software that can do best what you need
for your website.

Always look for customizable packages because you will not be able
to compete with bigger, already established websites by running
clone websites.

You must be able to create a unique website, with unique offers and
membership packages, offer the classic features of dating websites
for free but write your custom profile attributes / questions for
your specific target so you are sure they will use your website and
not other websites with generic theme. You can build a website for a
specific community (based on religion, location, sexual preferences,
specific hobbies and occupations) and be the number one dating
website for that community.

We had this in mind when creating Match Agency (
http://www.matchagency.biz ). This software allows full
customization for the profile attributes and
categories/subcategories of attributes and multilanguage support
both for interface and profile data. Our clients created successful
websites targeting swingers, couples, models, gay/lesbian, colleges
and towns communities.

Match Agency allows management of multiple profiles under the same
account and linking profiles in couples. This will drive couples to
this website because most software packages are designed for single
websites only. This system also allows creation of custom membership
packages / promotions where webmasters can set if and how can
members use the features of the website - creating a unique
marketing scheme for the website and allowing maximum flexibility.
