My friend has been consulting for this online dating service. He has asked me to critique it. Well, I am not looking for a date, so I am not sure what to tell him ... lol. Can you give me positive and negative feedback for http://www.promatching.com/. It is a free online dating site that caters to all age groups. Any feedback on the design and colors? If you were looking to find a date on a dating site, what would you like to see there?

Hi alec,
Welcome to Ozzu. The color scheme is ok. Nothing that turns me off instantly as far as the design goes but page feels a little heavy to the right. Not that that is a problem just an observation.

I almost feel like the site is more targeted toward females. I am not sure why it could be the imagery, the use of the softer pastels, and the scripty font choice. Again not saying its bad just an observation.

Hope this helps.

Thanks CXLink. Appreciate your feedback. Do you think dating site should be targeted towards guys as well? Is it a good idea to use soft pastels on a dating site? Thanks again!

Well I might not be the best judge of that since I haven't used one before, but there seems to be a thought process that says where there are females looking for males there will also be males. Just an observation.

Hi CXLink, you might be right. I sent the feedback to my friend that I got from here. Guess what, you are right! He has reported the number of women registered members are increasing on this site as compared to male members.

I suggest you change the font of first paragraph in your website.

The font size is different in in first paragraph and when a person describe about his status.

For a good web design, font size must be same.

I like the idea for this site. Interesting place to join :) The color is nice, but I think pink is what we usually think of if we talk about dating? :)

Your site looks clean and good. Color combination is also very good. My only suggestion is to remove some search field and take it in advance search.

The layout and colours are good for this type of site. The marriage photo might be a bit advanced for a dating site. The KISS attitude makes the intuitive aspect very good.

Homepage should be a little bit lighter. Too much graphics going on. Try to reduce the number of profiles to 5 etc or change its layout to horizontal direction like gallery view.
