I think it needs to be visible like buttons are


Agree. I didn't notice it the first time, and when I went back to look for it, it was the second-last thing I noticed before the main area (list of members who recently joined).


Noted, thanks.


I'd suggest changing it from a text link to a colorful call to action button. Try testing "Learn More", "How it Works" and "Take a Tour". You get the idea.


I just put a new button up now. Better or worse?


I hadn’t seen it before you put that button, but it’s the first thing I’ve clicked on, very visible.

At first I didn’t get the link to twitter, why you would use it to identify users... but it is actually a good idea. As opposed to a made-up page on a dating website that is just full of random claims, your users have a chance to show what they are about and what their recent life has been about. I think this is very valuable.

Just a few things. Your home page is now full of men. You might want to tweak your display to get 50% of each sex. Also, the central and right column display the same thing. You could have the most recent events in the middle and the newcomers on the right only, for example.

One last thing: Customize you link colors. I’m also not a big fan of your color scheme, but that might be just me. “How it works” and “FEATURED” are a bit hard to read because of low contrast. Look at the color schemes of match.com and plentyoffish.com: light blue, light green, and pink. It’s a good thing that you’re different, but there might be a common reason behind their similar choices.

Your “get started” and “how it works” buttons have text-decoration: underline on hover, you might want to remove that to match the top tabs that don’t.


Great feedback. And glad that the button is more visible now. Thanks thamer.
