although I will never deny the importance of content, I can show you what you're saying is simply not true, and I'd go to the point of saying it's quite the opposite. I'm still banking on content from 6 or 7 years ago (and even older) which has been seen 1 million times on static tours made 5 or 6 years ago that were never changed. And they convert 5 or 10 times better than any bangbros, juggcash, nasty dollars or brazzers site with their dynamic tours updated every day with HD content and all the shitnizz.

Of course, if you have good content things are easier, but if you know what you're doing, you can make tours with overused content that convert way better than most exclusive HD shot content. Furthermore, if you know what you're doing, you can use the "perceived" disadvantages as advantages and sales claims.

As I said before, design is not the most important thing in a tour, but it isn't the least important. Or better put, we'd need to define design first. If you call design to just some degree of knowledge of Photoshop (even if amazing skills), then I can tell you that's not what I call design and therefore it's not important. If you call design the conjunction of tools (PS, flash, scripting, whatever), marketing, layout, psychology, content choices, etc, then yes, design is the most important part of any site. If in doubt, look around yourself and see all the stuff you have bought that you really didn't need at all
