I own licenses from two dating software companies and wanted to briefly comment on one of them. The package I will discuss is provided by AEwebworks.com. I will comment on the others in other threads at some point in the future.
Oh, as a preliminary comment before hand - none of these sites are linked to any affiliate link of mine. In this case if you decide to purchase aeDating, please mention my site http://www.daddiesandcubs.com. They offer a $100 commission on each new sale so it would be greatly appreciated if you mention me.
Aeweb (affectionately called “weirdworks” by some) has been around for quite some time and apparently set the standard and inspired many new companies to provide dating software. Aewebs product is based on PHP/MySQL, is not encrypted, and has a large selection of templates that can be customized. Unfortunately there are no gay templates available at this time, but if you are somewhat familiar with HTML customizations can be made. I have taken their original and previously leading template and customized it for http://www.daddiesandcubs.com. The process was relatively simple albeit time consuming.
I believe that they offer a lot of features with their software and the price is definitely fair based on current market values. Some other software providers advertise a slightly lower rate for their package but charge additional fees to add features such as blogs, galleries, etc. My experience has been that those additional fees either increase the actual rate of the software to what aeWebworks charges, or exceeds it.
aeWebworks offers free lifetime support with their product – but don’t always expect that free support over night. A year ago they underwent a major internal problem with programmers and resolved the matter (presumably by firing them). Their package today is full of features such as a Shoutbox (allows members online to instantly broadcast a message to all), Blogs, and a gallery function that allows members to upload hundreds of pics based on the settings set by the administrator.
When I have been unable to resolve a problem and submitted a report on their private customer forum they have eventually responded and have usually just gone in and corrected the matter. Sometimes that has been the same day, other times my wait has been up to two weeks.
If you are going to get aeWebworks (also known as aeDating) I would suggest that you allow 3-4 weeks to get the initial bugs worked out. Install it, set up several test user accounts and fully test the system. When you encounter a bug, report it to aeWeb through the private customer forum. Give them up to two weeks to respond. I have had the fastest response when I have posted the temporary FTP/MySQL access information and two test user accounts in that same message.
