Things You'll Need:
- Web space
- Web programmer or computer expert
-
Step 1
Buy your web space and domain name. Choose a domain name that is easy to remember and that makes you think about Christian dating. Buy the space and the name for at least 1 year, with an option to renew. Log into your site and space and make sure that it works.
-
Step 2
Hire a web programmer. He will build every component that you need to have built. Do not try to do it on your own. Hiring someone to help you is the easiest way to build your Christian dating site and make sure that it is ready for launch.
-
Step 3
Sit down with your web programmer and explain what you would like on your site. You will need a forum where people can talk to one another, and you will also need a function where each member can create their own member page to browse through. You will need a live chat function for members to talk to one another and an email system so that they can send messages to one another as well. Tell your web programmer if you would like to have other things on your site such as personality tests to determine who is compatible, avatars or automatic email systems.
-
Step 4
Decide on a launch date with your web programmer once he knows what he will be doing for you.
-
Step 5
Impart on your web designer and anyone else working for you that this is a Christian site. Add Christian elements into your design.
-
Step 6
Create a member rules list and include rules that are important to you, such as no using of offensive language, and following of Christian rules and values on the site.
-
Step 7
Begin advertising offline and online before your launch date.
-
Step 8
Create, along with your web programmer, the forum, the member pages, the email system, the live chat system and any other systems you need to create for your site. Although your web programmer will be doing most of the work, ask for step-by-step instructions and explanation so that you understand the site in its entirety.
-
Step 9
Advertise heavily once your site has launched. Create a profile on Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn for yourself and your dating site. Pay for advertisements online. Hire a tech support person to help subscribers with any issues they might have.
