Starting a dating website, one question

[Weedtbhtbh]

Don't have coding knowledge but google is my friend. I have made one forum only and that wasn't that hard. Now I want to start a dating website and I have no idea what platform to use. I want it to have escrow, subscribtions, payment options between customers. Any recommendations on platform? I don't want to invest too much on the platform (hopefully I will be able to pirate it). Thanks buddy boyos :3

There are free social network scripts which you can use to create your own social network. That would be my guess. Anyway eventually you'll need to learn coding or spend $$$ in programmers.

Something like this? codecanyon.net/tags/social%20network%20script
All I have to do is upload a script into public_html, like I did with xenforo the software, right? software = script?

"Eventually you'll need to learn coding" True, I always wanted to learn :3

Software = A program that runs on a computer and typically has a GUI. Ex : MS Paint
Script = Runs headless and in the background and keeps running 24/7. Ex : Wordpress / Xenforo

What you want can be done in Wordpress but you'd need to code custom functions.

I suggest you to start learning PHP.

That's how the mighty Facebook was once built.

A nulled wordpress dating theme would work

 

[GhostBro]

There are bunch of codecanyon nulled scripts you can try those

Why not just go for the whitelisting... I mean it will save you a ton of work... it's customizable... it already has a ton of users which is a BIG plus... and if it fails, you haven't wasted much time! If you need recommendations I will gladly give you all you have to do is ask.

If you are starting off with nulled scripts you are on the wrong path.

My suggestion, ethier use a dating white label (which will have everything you want including members)

Or use a forum software which has been modded and use that as a dating site (NodeBB maybe an option)

I've made dating sites in the past. The issue is not building the site but getting enough members to begin with to appear active.

Getting a dating site started is no cheap feat hence why i suggest you go the whitelabel option.
