My company needs a dating website that is pretty standard in terms of functionality, but the membership process is different. A potential member will have to submit a specific piece of information about themselves by mail or fax to my company, and then we will email them an invitation to start the membership process. From that point, they will only have 6 months before their profile becomes locked, and they will have to resubmit their information to gain an additional 6 months. Member profiles will contain categories that will be searchable. Other than these categories, members will also be able to fill in their own description about themselves, their likes and dislikes, etc. Once a member has a profile created he/she can search other singles in their local area, just like any other dating site. They can also narrow their search using the categories above, and also search within a certain mile radius of themselves.

**Members will have a number of options in making a connection. Members will be able to send a wink, a kiss, or send a customized message using an email system that operates within the website. Members will also be able to communicate in real time with a live messaging service. Although not at it's origin, we will aim to set up other communication services such as direct phone calls and video conferencing.

**Members who have submitted their information via mail within the past two weeks will be given an elite status. After two weeks expire, they will no longer have elite status
I like a clean look, like www.8tracks.com. It seems like the look that bootstrap from twitter offers, which I really like. I don't like all the clutter of other dating websites. Keep it clean
