The Bad

http://www.okcupid.com/

Okcupid.com is a social dating website where single males and females can network and meet each other. The home page of this website does not hit the target audience.

On the photo it also has the caption “matched by eharmony.” The intended audience for this site is single young-adult to adult males and females. There is a consistency throughout the website, all the links work and there is also a copyright notice at the bottom of the page. The website is clear, simple, and easy to navigate.
