Choose The Next Free Dating Site Template

Choose The Next Free Dating Site Template

One of the key reasons for the popularity of SkaDate Dating Software is the availability of various free dating site templates, in addition to the option of ordering unique custom-made themes. For years we’ve been giving clients what we thought was the best representation of current design trends.

That, however, is about to change. We want to put you in charge of deciding what’s Hot and what’s Not. As part of our continuous effort in improving client feedback, we decided to introduce basic polls, which will show the real demand for specific graphical elements.

As you might have noticed, we produce a couple of new free templates approximately every six months. The last two (Nite Bluez and Day Bluez) were bundled together in the most recent SkaDate Dating Script revision, and are already considered quite popular. Still, wouldn’t it be great if the next batch of free templates was created with the input from the very people who actively use them?

That’s where our new Polls come into play. For the convenience of our customers we put them in a sidebar right along with the free themes displayed on the Templates Page. In addition to writing a specific suggestion, visitors can choose the preferred color palette and template format (Traditional Dating Site, Social Dating Site, Adult Dating Site, or Religious Dating Site). When the time comes to release the new free template selection, we will know exactly what design direction to take.

Tell us what you think and don’t forget to take the poll.

SkaDate Software Upgrade: New Themes and Features

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

As the summer continues to quickly fizzle out, we’ve got just the thing to end the season with a bang!

Get ready for new stylish themes and improved features. This fresh Upgrade Package of the SkaDate Dating Software makes our product even better, prettier, and more exiting for network members.

The goodies include -

  • New Themes: Nite Bluez and Day Bluez

If there was only one word to describe the new themes, it would be ‘Dandy’. The new unique templates emphasize coolness, neatness and professionalism of any network that will employ them. Following the latest industry trends the themes are done in a tastefully reserved and subtle style, with a touch of glamour. In addition to the overall appealing visual presentation, site elements were also reworked to appear semi-transparent on the background, which adds to the general classy feel of the new themes. Both templates use the same base, but in contrast to Nite Bluez, Day Bluez creates a more sexy, revealing and sensual atmosphere. Take your pick!
