Looking of a partner in life would definitely be easier when using the help of Online Dating Sites such as DatingDirect.com. With the fast changing lifestyle that people are living right now, even dating should be able to catch up with the trends. Being UK’s largest Dating Service, DatingDirect has over 5 million active subscribers now since it first went online last 1999. Since this is by far the largest online dating site in the UK, there are always thousands of members that are online at the same time. Traffic is good and it provides you more opportunities and choices.
Registration
Registering to this site is quite easy. The main page contains the all the fill out forms for a fast registration. You only have to input basic information such as your Preferred Username, Password, Gender and Preference and Country. The location that you will input is very specific down to the city where you are located. It’s also a plus that you just have to choose on a drop down menu. Email is also asked but a label states that the email will remain confidential.
After the registration process, you are taken to the email confirmation page which is good because you are sure that the people who register here are not bots. A link will take you to your email’s landing page for an easier login. A link will be sent to your email that will allow you to go back to your account and continue the completion of your profile. An option is available if you want to go straight to checking out other profiles. This is a very good point because often times people just want to go straight to the point rather than be forced to complete everything before you can browse profiles.
Profile
The profile contains very specific details such as Lifestyle that you live, Physical Information, Personal and Educational Background, Personality, Interests and Relationships. Photos are also encouraged to be uploaded so that there will be a face to your profile. These things will help narrow down your choices when browsing profiles that you might want to get in touch with. You can also upload an introduction video of your own so that other members can view you if you already are a premium member.
Main Page
DatingDirect.com has a very clean and uncluttered home page. The colors used in the page are soothing to the eye. Profiles of people who are Online are displayed at the center of the page and underneath it is a box containing New Members that you can also browse. This site is so easy to use and is friendly even to those who are not adept at using computers. All you have to know is how to type, choose on dropdown choices, click buttons and click on links.
There is a quick search box under the profiles that are matched to yours which refines your search through a click of a button. This categorizes your search from Age, Region, City and if you want profiles that has a picture. Should you want more specific results, you can also add several criteria like Marital Status, if that person lives alone, with parents or with family (if married), Nationality, Religion, Language and Profession. Other criteria’s you can also choose for more specific results fall under categories such as
Membership
Free users are allowed to post their profiles but are just limited to doing that. Members who have not paid their dues are not allowed to send and receive emails, chat online, view profile details after a while, create and save favorites and view other member’s introduction videos. Premium members on the other hand are given the privileges that are not available to free users plus be able to use the premier search which the ultimate refinement for all searches.
Membership plans range from £22.80 – £59.84 depending on the length of your subscription and renewals from £22.80 – £9.99 also depending on your primary subscription package. I must say that registering to this site is pretty expensive especially if you live outside European countries.
Basically, this site has many of the same features as its competitors. Having a high membership costs may prove to be a downside but because members of www.Datingdirect.com usually come from the countries in Europe, it should be worth the price for the services that DatingDirect.com has to offer, especially if you're looking for someone special in the UK.
