I recently launched this site for an idea I had for a new way of meeting people. I had the idea about 3 months ago and have been feverishly working on it since then.
I would be interested in comments and feedback on the design and UI or any suggestions.
thanks,
Chris

nice logo,
site is too dark
- irrelevant0
too dark as in you can't read the text? Or too dark for subject matter.
I wanted a classy looking site that did not look cheesy when the guy/girl came to it once they received a flirtbuck.
I thought Red, Black and White would acheive that.

i like it. not too dark for me. but i love black. i think it seems dark because there is no seperations and the page is so long. maybe breaking it up with a filled color box or somethng.
also, if you go into the buy points thing and then click out, you remain in ssl. not a problem but something you may want to address as it could potentially alert you that items are not all secure if it links to an outside file.

i see that you are trying to give it a certain amount of class by using the dark colours but i think its generally a bit too dark and mysterious.
all these community/flirt sites are very colourful and welcoming.
yours looks a little sinister.decent little idea though.
do you get free cards on signup? - just a thought as extracards are a bit on the pricey side, no?what happens if u give the card to a lass and she's like "what the f*ck?!" then just slings the card away and some tramp finds your card and starts flirting with you online and you are thinking its still the bird you are talking to.

I agree that other sites are colorful, but I also wanted to make something that was cross gender with a little mystique so black was used.
Sinsiter?, I was hoping it would not come across as sinister. Maybe since it is a new way of meeting people as opposed to offering the same thing the other sites are, I wanted something a little different to set myself apart from other sites.
Free cards are ones I am handing out at certain local dating events. Since the cards are made of plastic I was hoping that a set of 4 cards for 10 bucks would be reasonable. Most dating sites charge 30 bucks a month for a profile alone. these you can hand out to any one anywhere, where as dating sites allow you only to view people that signed up for the same service.
I have had a few focus groupd on it, and not one woman said they would throw it away, they said it aroused their curiosity and woudl definately check it out.

think the sinisterness is cos of ALL the black. maybe if the page was black but the background was another colour - pink/dark pink
i.e thinking "romantic colours rather than 'im gonna jump you in the darkness' "i hear what you are saying about other dating sites being expensive and with a fee each month too - but surely you are not just competing against these sites - you are competing against the likes of myspace, faceparty, hi5 etc etc too?
some of these sites offer both a free membership and a paid for membership that offers extra privilidges.

I like the idea, but do agree with the other folks, it's a bit dark.
I remember someone telling me black sites remindied them of teenage boys going through the 'I hate the world period'
just thought you might like to know. Having said that my sites dark so maybe i should be quiet.

"Welcome to the evolution of meeting new people. Have you ever made eye contact, felt chemistry, or had bad timing and no chance for communication? "
Kinda feel the same way about the site... But you've got a good start.
Too dark. When I think dating I think. Good spirits, hopefull, cheerful ya know. Not dark.
And the cards need to be cheaper. at $2 + a card I would go through to many. Just make the biz cards and send them 200 or something

ok, in all honesty, the site sucks.
I don't care how it looks, it looks fine imo, but you have to pay,
i could go meet hundreds of people for free on other sites so this site sucks just like hotornot
not all that much offered or extra once you pay and then you are still not sure if the chick will want you or not
paying to see if a chick likes you is pretty dumb when i see it on paper
my 2 cents
