Real Life Review

"I just recently signed up for an account and downloaded the app version. I have been using the 2RedBeans online dating site for days now, and I can say that it is not just easy to use, but I also actually enjoy searching for possible dates as well as mingling with other singles through this dating site. Same goes with its app version. So far, I have not been encountering any glitch on the site. Everything, from signing up to doing searches, is hassle-free. The thing about 2RedBeans that I like the most is the Diamonds, which are received (for free) when I log-in, add additional information about myself on my profile page, or upload a photo. This is helpful for a free user, like me, for the reason that with diamonds, certain paid features can be unlocked; one of which is sending and receiving messages. Because of that, I do have a good time searching and virtually socializing with other singles. Online dating through 2RedBeans is both helpful and fun." - Entrepreneur (31)

Design and Usability

The design of the 2RedBeans online dating site is very detailed, yet it is also very organized. It is simple and uncomplicated. Online daters who are not that computer-savvy or users who are just new to the online dating world will definitely not find it difficult to navigate the site because of its simple yet functional computer display.

The details on the site are very readable as well because of the font’s design and size. Also, while navigating the site, you will not encounter overwhelming graphic designs and annoying pop-up ads. This allows you to give more focus on what is on the site. Every information regarding 2RedBeans, including the upcoming events, frequently asked questions, dating safety and the like can easily be found because all the information on the site is sectioned properly. Characteristics like those mentioned are what would make any online dating site’s design excellent and appropriate.
