<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1384" src="https://www.tomstier.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/concernedsinglesscnsht-500x345.gif" alt="" width="500" height="345" />The design of the site is clean and inviting with access to site member listings being a priority.</p>
<p>On the ancient previous incarnation of the site, the member listings were static html pages that Rodelinde would create and upload on a regular basis.</p>
<p>We created a php/MySQL member listing system that automated the process.</p>
<p>Among the benefits of the new system:</p>
<p>New members have their listings added to the database within hours.</p>
<p>Changing content adds &#8216;stickiness&#8217;, visitors come back to see what&#8217;s new.</p>
<p>All member listings are searchable by country, US state and member code.</p>
<p>More functionality is scheduled, although Rodelinde has strong thoughts on keeping the operation as much a uniquely personal service as possible. An important distinction is that the site is not a dating site, it is more of a matchmaking operation with Rodelinde facillitating the all important work of bringing two soul-mates together!</p>
<p>Plans are in place to improve the membership system, with personal log-in pages and some in-site communication options between members.</p>
<p>There are no plans, however to add video messaging or even photos!</p>
