This is one of our first reviews of a new category of dating sites targeted towards people with disability. More of these sites catering to a niche group of people are now springing up all over the place mostly fueled by the interest in the dating platform as a convenient way of finding like-minded partners. The site that we are reviewing here is called eDateAbility.com and its a subscription paid dating site.

Just like most of the dating sites it also asks for the basic information about the person signing-up. The only field that differs is ‘Health Condition’ in which you have to tell about what disability you have. After signing up a verification note is sent to you on your respective email address. When verified, the site asks you to describe yourself and your desired partner in words, it asks for a photo or video, and your phone number which is completely optional and has been kept secret all the time. You can login only after the support team has approved your profile.
The age limit of signing up is 18 which I found common in most of the dating sites.

Login and Customizing Profile
You can login by simply providing your email and your password. There is a ‘screen name,’ which is asked during the sign-up process, which is shown to the other users; it is what other sites would refer to as ‘username’.

Once you have successfully logged in you can modify your profile as desired. You can upload photos and videos, chat with users, send users wink. You can view your profile, view who has checked your profile out. You can subscribe to their Gold membership or you can have a trial membership as well. Trail Membership won’t provide you with all the access to the site, but would provide you with limited access to the features of the site such as - send a restricted number of emails, can only view other members’ default pictures, limited use of text, voice and video chat, cannot upgrade to featured members.

Free Gold Membership?
Yes, you can get Free or Discounted Gold memberships if you keep an eye on the news and special offers that are sent to your mail box or announced on the website.

You can also upload videos and photos directly through your webcam and you can upload as many photos as you want till the maximum space of 5 mb provided is used up.

Browse & Search Feature
Browsing is pretty simple. The Browse page has all the latest updates for new members, latest matches using the criteria you specified, online members, and ‘Upcoming Birthdays’ to give you a chance to be the first to send them your greetings, as well as ‘Featured’ profiles. All of these features are shown on your first page as soon as you log in to your account.

There are two types of searches in this site:

The Quick Search: The Quick Search form is on your home page on the left hand side and you can search by username, sex, age, country, city or postcode/zip code and connect with other members in no time.
