Concerned Singles

 

Concerned Singles is a matchmaking service started by owner Rodelinde Albrecht as a print newsletter in 1984.

The design of the site is deliberately clean and sparse with access to site content being a priority.

The listings of members were static html pages that Rodelinde would create and upload on a regular basis.

We created a php/MySQL member listing system that automated the process.

Among the benefits of the new system:

New members have their listings added to the database within hours.

Changing content adds 'stickiness', visitors come back to see what's new.

All member listings are searchable by country, US state and member code.

More functionality is scheduled, although Rodelinde has strong thoughts on keeping the operation as much a uniquely personal service as possible.

Plans are underway to make this a real membership system, with personal log-in pages and in-site communication options between members.

There are no plans, however to add video messaging!
