OKCupid.com Review
To continue with our theme of reviewing other competitors in the free online dating niche, Datepad took the time to review OKCupid.com. Datepad believes that by showing you everything that our biggest competitors have to offer, you can make up your own mind as to why Datepad is the best choice. Today’s competitor review is a dating site called OKCupid.com. OKCupid has a neat clean design and a bold logo. Next to their name is the logo of a glass beaker, presumably filled with some sort of love concoction. The site features a lot of calm colors, including blue, purple, white, and black. Now for the good stuff, here are a few things that we here at Datepad like about OKCupid, as well as a few things that we think they could have fixed.
Pros
- The site is a lot older than Datepad, so it is much more established with a plethora of questions, answers, users, photos, and especially quizzes.
- The site offers support for multiple languages, venturing away from just the English speaking daters.
- The homepage is short and to the point, converting you into a member very quickly.
- The company is well staffed, and has a very informative about page.
- The site has a very vibrant and active forum.
Cons
- You are not allowed to see the entire site or use all of the features until you have signed up as a member.
- There is a lot of text in the footer of the site that is white on a light blue background, making it very hard to read depending on how bright your monitor is.
- Once you have signed up and started looking at other people’s profiles, you will notice that they can be extremely cluttered and somewhat “Myspace like.”
In conclusion, OKCupid is an exceptionally nice free online dating competitor of Datepad, and in our opinion, the second best one out of all of them in existance. They are working hard to grow, much like we are, and they will prove to be a worthy adversary on our goal of building the internet’s largest free online dating community.
