Honestly, there isn't much on this landing page to review. The online dating space is quite crowded. What benefits do you bring to the table? You should stress them. Or put a video together. Something to entice users to sign up. As it stands, there is nothing compelling me to sign up.

In regards to design, it's a bit old looking. The font (including the logo) is far too generic. The image is a bit clip-art-esque. The generic submit buttons aren't helping either. These are your calls to action... they need to pop!

Sorry to be harsh. But I think being honest is the most helpful thing.

Good luck!

I really appreciate your honest feed back! This is the kind of feed back I am looking for, direct and right to the point. Thank you, I will work on the items you mentioned!

Much appreciated! :-)

I agree with jhacks. I'm sure you will be successful with a few changes.

Good luck and good job asking for constructive criticism (...it's a smart idea people unfortunately often shy away from).

Update... I changed the buttons to blue and added a blue line around the sign up section.

Any feedback for the link: "Online Dating and related topics & tips!" it launches the page http://www.soulfuse.com/OnlineDating.aspx.

It links to four other pages with online dating information.

Still working on either a video or the "what makes us different", to entice people to sign up.

As far as the design goes I am trying to keep the page looking clean and uncluttered, although I will look into trying to spruce it up without making the site look like it is trying too hard to get attention.

About the graphic, I have gotten the most compliments for the graphic for various reasons. My personal choice for using it was because I think it is more appealing to look at than a bunch of random individual's pictures plastered on the landing page. I think it provokes one's imagination.

Thank you!

Don
