We have spent many hours trawling the web searching and finding
dating or matchmaking scripts. We have found that alot of them are
trying to add to many fancy features instead of actually spending
time on making the ones they have even better.
We have gathered information that alot of people that use these
sites like the basics of adding a profile and photo, many don't like
the photo rating system as it puts added pressure on them to be one
of the 'Gorgeous' set. Being able to message, email, chat, send a
kiss and a good search facility are all good.
Another area that causes problems is encryption. Although we
understand that the people that build these scripts need to protect
their work it does cause problems when the 'Buyers' of these scripts
want to design their own site setup, and if for instance on
the 'Register', or 'Profile' pages you can't add extra choices
because of this encryption.
This is just a basic overview and do think that these script
writters should take on board some of the people that buy their
scripts and get their feedback to help in design and development.
