How to Develop a Dating Website

1. Develop unique features on the website. Consider existing sites' features and how you might innovate. For example, one site has designed an algorithm that connects people with similar patterns, while another site allows members to search for people based on their location, gender and interests.
2. Design the website by using a program such as Adobe Dreamweaver or Javascript. Your website should have search menus, profile building resources and tabs that make navigating easy. You can also add special features such as video journals and member post boards.

3. Work out an agreement with advertisers. Whether or not your website charges a fee, you can raise money by selling advertising space. Typically, you can take on ads that relate to singles or matchmaking by contacting the webmaster at various sites or by registering for a Google AdSense account.
4. Upload your website. Have your friends and family navigate the website to determine whether the design is intuitive and without glitches. Address any problems that come up during the testing phase.
5. Get your own name out there by encouraging review sites to feature your own site or by having newspapers run stories on it. If you have a distinctive angle, of course, writers and editors will make a beeline to interview you.
