Oxigen Services India (known for Oxicash – payment gateway), has launched a new matrimonial and dating site – MyCupid in partnership with World Dating Partners. One more matrimonial portal has joined the wagon with rest of the portals in market like Shaadi.com, BharatMatrimony.com, SimplyMarry.com. Is there a need for one more you might ask?
But before we get to that lets look at whats new in this one.
Important and New Features:
Apart from regular features which we can see on other matrimonial, MyCupid has come up on screen with some new and innovative social networking kind features like:
- ChatterBox – Chat with the prospects online. Video chat, voice to voice chat, you can also make calls. Member can also download chat applications.
- SMS Match – User can send SMS to any member across the world straight from his profile.
- Send a Card – User can send e-cards to members as per the mod and liking.
- Message Translation – If you are an Indian and sending a message to African but language is a hindrance, then this site facilitate you with language translation. But this feature is for paid members only.
- Psychological Advice – You can also take advise from Psychologist to overcome from your doubts about marriage, relationship, family bonding etc… This service is also available for premium members.
Membership Charges
Now, lets also talk about membership charges, they have designed 3 membership packages apart from free basic membership.
Silver, Gold and platinum at Rs 423.16, Rs 732.41 and Rs 1491.64 resp. for one month subscription.
Lifetime gold and silver membership can be taken at Rs 8334.29 and Rs 11649.95 resp. (Don’t know the logic behind lifetime membership on matrimonial site…a person will keep on searching soulmate for his whole life?? Really?).
Here is one more catch that you can ONLY make payment through Oxicash, no other mode of payment is available. It seems like Oxigen is promoting its payment Gateway- Oxicash through this matrimonial cum dating portal.
Website Design
• Very flashy colors has been used in designing
• Search result page is cluttered, can be designed in a better way.
• Cleanliness and clarity is missing in design
Don’t know exactly in which category this portal could be counted in – Matrimony, or dating or a social networking platform. One more thing, have they designed this to encash something through upcoming Valentine’s Day? Quite possible we say!
