Paysite design is worthless in 2011
It's all about content presentation.
Just my 2 cents...wtf do I know anyway....

I feel that content presentation is definitely 90% of the game. And that's why at the beginning of 2008 we moved to become one of the first "tube style" paysites. :)
I feel real good about my presentation and the videos that we shoot and the fact that the tour is "dynamic" and changes updates as the members area changes.

I figured that it was time for a change in the "look". I like to go with my instincts and so far they have been right on the money (a natural thing for us because I love big tits and know what big tit lovers like to see), and I felt it was time to change up the look of the site.

But everything else on the site is still the result of my experience and ideas developed over my lifetime. The only thing that changed is the background image and the header.

I really, really like what Sarah came up with and my reaction to it has been affirmed by the reaction we have had in emails from our members and comments to CM on her twitter and facebook. So far nothing but positive comments and not even one bad one. :thumbsup

I'm with you in that I don't believe that fancy graphics can sell a crappy paysite...like the old saying says: "You can't polish a turd"...I DO believe that what Zuzana Designs did for me here is a very, very nice finishing touch that adds to the site.

In the end we are entertainers putting on a show for our audience. And we just got new paint and lighting for our stage. :)

What I did wrong the first time I changed the header was I tried to do it myself. lol

And quite frankly I was going to a dry well when it came to ideas for the graphics. In that particular instance I put up a header I had worked on and I just never felt "right" with it, and my instincts were confirmed...so I took it back down.

The opposite has happened with this header from Zuzana Designs. It was "love at first site" when she showed it to me. :)

And yes, I do agree that I need a bit more "join now" text. I think I'm going to try to figure out something for the individual trailer pages for that. I may let this "settle in" for a few days or couple of weeks first though. I've had a lot of success with a "soft sell" without pushing JOIN, JOIN, JOIN at people...but I do believe you're right and I am gonna think about it for a bit and try to get a nice piece of text above or directly below the trailer vids over the next couple of weeks.

I love you for overthinking, loreen ...

I sent ya an ICQ and look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks everyone else for the compliments on the design.

Nothing negative here Robbie but I have a few questions. LOL Feel free to tell me to fuck off in that fine southern accent of yours:

1. Only ONE Join button on every page (unless I'm missing something, which is my point) in the upper-left corner? Hmmmm.....hated having to search for that.

2. It looks like you're giving away hours of free video on the tour Robbie, all those previews with their seperate pages. Does this work for you?

3. You're using Scott Zambaio for processing? I thought you used your own merch account.

4. I hope you're A-B testing this new design rather than just letting it roll for a few weeks then judging by joins.

The design looks nice, Zuzana does great work. Just wondering about some of these, um, sales/marketing points. :)

Good luck on the new Tour!!

Looks awesome, Zuzana did an awesome logo for me a few weeks ago aswell. Definitely recommended :thumbsup

1. Thinking about integrating another join link
2. Yes, the tube style tour has worked really well with all the trailers
3. I use NATS on the affiiate tour, you were looking at the type-in non-affiliate tour
4. Nope, just letting it roll and going off instinct.
:)

Nice job Sarah :thumbsup

Thanks for the clarifications sans snarkiness. :)

Hope it bangs for you man - tho you really don't need any more millions Robbie and should seriously consider floating some of those greenbacks Peabody's way....haha!

FIDDY Congrats!

:thumbsup JFK !

Zuzana's designs have always been great.

Thanks :thumbsup You guys have been great to work with and I'm thankful for the work.
