It would be nice if I could easily create my own matching site using WordPress

For those people, I would like to introduce what kind of plugins are available!

Market price of matching sites

First, here is the average price for ordering a matching site from a system company.

2 to 3 million

It's better to be prepared for this.
On the other hand, if you can afford this much,It's definitely better to make it yourselfis.
We can introduce you to a reliable system company, so please feel free to contact us!

Why is it better to make it yourself? Because you are creating a matching site using existing plugins and themes, you may not be able to achieve what you want, and because the plugins and themes are basically in English, English may be mixed in, and there may be some things that you cannot do as you want.

  • Before placing an order with a system company, I want to know if there is a demand for the matching site I am planning to create.
  • I want to create my own matching website to help people in trouble.
  • I don't have a large budget, but I want to run a matchmaking website.

If you are one of those people, we recommend that you try creating your own matching site using WordPress!
It's very different from building a normal website. It's difficult.I think it's best to be prepared for this!

Expressions on overseas matchmaking sites

As you are visiting this blog, you are probably aware that in Japan there is no platform that allows you to create a matching site using WordPress.

It is necessary to broaden your horizons overseas and gather information, so I will introduce how to go about searching.

Fiverr: A popular overseas dating site

When it comes to matching sites, Fiverr!

There are many sites that introduce how to build a matching site with WordPress, such as "How to build a site like Fiverr."

How sites like Lancers and CrowdWorks are represented overseas

When freelancers offer their services on sites like Lancers and Crowdworks, they are mainly called micro jobs overseas.

"Microjob theme"

If you search for something like this, you'll find a lot of information.

Overseas representation of real estate sites

Real estate sites are also referred to as "classifieds" or "estate" overseas.

How matching sites are expressed overseas

Even if you search for a matching site, you may not find much useful information.Directory SiteIt is also called.

At HanamiWEB, we receive many inquiries from people who want to create matching sites using WordPress.

Until now, I have been searching for a theme that would allow me to easily create a matching site, and I discovered that there are several plugins in the Directory plugin genre.
