Deign and navigation:

The Xfactor Dating site has a very striking colour theme maroon, orange and black that creates a very trendy dating environment. The home page of the site is not crowded with scammy advertisements that can be found even in some of the most reputed websites like Match and DatingDirect. All that they have in the homepage is a section for you to register or login, side menu having links for home, registration, dating guarantee, tips, and customer service.

The site displays in its homepage the number of singles who are online and so, you will know what you can actually expect for that day. At the time we logged into the site, there were about 2500 singles online. Yes! This might sound to be little less to you, but as we mentioned in the introduction, the Xfactor Online Dating is a rapidly developing site. It also has a few profiles displayed with their photos, name, age and you will be able to send wink, view profile, add to friends and add to favourites from the home page itself.

A quick search window allows you to quickly have a look at the profiles of the singles available within the reachable distance of your postcode. The list of profiles appears with age, location, sex, distance and with activity in one week. Here too you will be able to make your first move. We had given a particular postcode of London and distance as 20 miles and site says "1873 members match your search criteria", which means the website has a very good member base.

Overall, the layout of the site is very attractive, stylish and young. Navigation too is very easy as they have quick links to wherever you would usually wish to go with a clean layout.

Profile and its Quality

The registration is completely free and offers you with instant access to many of their dating facilities that allows you to meet singles and find love online. The first step of the registration is very easy, all that you have to enter are the basic details. The very next screen that appears is called as the "member's home" which as a quick information about you, followed by a list of details that you will need to update like personality profile, photo, description, video, ideal match preferences, interests, etc. There is no restriction on the number of photos that you can add.

Personality test

You can also take a personality test. This test is completely free and is a fun way to determine your type of personality and traits. The test takes a maximum of one minute to complete and at the end of it, you will be provided with a complete personality breakdown. There are just five questions and you have to tick on at least three options provided. We were really surprised when the first question "Sometimes I like to.." appeared as the options below were a very interesting collection of answers with very attractive pictures that describe the answer. The other four question include "I like to...", "I like my house to be..", "Happiest when I am.." and "In a relationship I am..". All of the questions are very important for a relationship to work successfully.

The whole experience of the personality test was absolute fun. Unlike some other matchmaking sites that have hundreds of questions, getting us absolutely bored on the way. At the end of the test, you will get a personality type (we got "Advocate") with its details along with the personality type that matches yours in an order of most compatible to least compatible, (our match seemed to be "Confident", "Dreamer", "Mentor" and finally "Advocate").

Pricing and corresponding details

The freebies only get to complete their profiles, view profiles and send winks. But to make any actual connection like sending messages or chat online, you have to be a premium member.

The membership costs are quite high. Though they have a lot of features in the site, the current member base that the site is having is quite less, so it will be wiser if they had listed these costs after attaining a good membership base.

Some highlights from user reviews

Though there are a lot of positive comments, there were a few negative ones too. The positives of the sit being its vast range of features and that the parties that they conduct are fully packed and that the hosting staffs and events are excellent. One of the common complaints being that the parties are being cancelled at last minute and poor turn outs. We feel that the opinion might differ according to the place.
