Many networking and social web sites are available for single people, but not so many “respectable” ones exist for couples. In light of this, TheCoupleSpot.com approached me with an idea to create a website that makes it easy for couples to network and socialize with other couples. Together, we worked as a team to launch http://www.thecouplespot.com/, whose company motto is “Connect, Share Interests, and Enjoy Life!” ©.
About TheCoupleSpot
TheCoupleSpot.com is an upscale community website that has been created and designed exclusively for couples. Moreover, TheCoupleSpot.com is a professional and interactive site that makes it easy for couples to meet and share interests with other couples in a safe, user-friendly environment. Couples can interact with other users in their local areas, or they can interact with other couples around the world.
The Solution
TheCoupleSpot first contacted us in June 2006. However, it was February 2007 before we had our first face-to-face meeting. TheCoupleSpot’s CEO met with Declan ONeill (Account Manager.) The meeting as I remember was quite formal due to all the previous phone and email communications. The “TheCoupleSpot” team wanted to ensure they were dealing with a reputable web company that could deliver a website that lived up to their very high expectations; and I suppose it did because in April 07 we penned the deal. Shortly thereafter the statement of work and contract were signed, and work immediately commenced on www.TheCoupleSpot.com.
The Features
The site is being built in phases, and it is currently in Phase 1. Couples can currently:
- Build profile pages
- Upload photos
- Conduct and save advanced searches
- Block users
- Communicate with other couples using an internal e-mail system
- Update Headliner Profiles

Participate in the site’s “Couples Convo” discussion forum which has been designed exclusively for TheCoupleSpot.com’s members and visitors. A few of the main topics currently posted there are marriage, parenting, sports, travel, cooking, investing, military themes, and business opportunities
As far as affiliates and marketing are concerned, TheCoupleSpot.com is particularly interested in hearing from companies who provide goods and services that benefit couples.
