yup not feeling the design

Design is terrible. Domain is even worse.

I'd at least tweak it. The header is huge and pretty busy - logo gets lost. I'd also move the email capture out of the footer and put it up the page in the right column to get more juice out of your list building.

Best comment I've heard so far. Smart.

That's the worst design of all time

I dont think enough time has passed.

But if advertisers are backing out then kill it

I love that sig, she has such a dirty look on her face after she pulls it all the way out-

For some reason she also reminds me of Alicia Keys.

The big header is lame you are hiding the content
The site logos are lame No one has heard of these sites.
The domain is way to long and the joke is lost on the surfers ( YOUR Audience )

**Imortyl Pussycat** · 03-02-2010, 11:47 AM

loved the domain and the content but hated the design from jump. change it now before it's really branded

p.s. no poop brown anywhere on the site, it reminds me of straight down the pooper tube with that color in the word tube *giggles*

Give it more time, can you add more black videos

**goldfish** · 03-02-2010, 12:05 PM

Kill the header, it detracts from the overall design and pushes what ppl came to the site looking for way to far down the page.

**dyna mo** · 03-02-2010, 12:06 PM

if it were mine?

i would tweak the current design, not keep it or kill it.

in particular-

smaller header, similar showcasing, just smaller. i would also incorporate a tagline s.a. *check out all these sites you get for free*

much smaller category tabs/font, maybe even show categories here

i would make the *today's exclusive video* show an actual screenshot instead of the tube logo.

i think the ads on the side are too big in relation to the clip screen shots.
the specifics of each scene is in too big of font. as you scroll past the ads, the site looks off kilter since the ad space is still taking up space next to the tube screen shots but there are no ads, that's prime space there eh.

there's no reason listed for getting the free membership to the tube

the premium partners area looks weak, i'd make it look full, i.e. no *partner link here* shizz

the 3 sex search ads across the bottom look cheesy also, esp. since they are all the same ad.

the ad copy you have at the bottom should be at the top.

i think there should also be a schedule showing what's upcoming.

:-)

Any good tube designers or CSS people in here?

**digitaldivas** · 03-02-2010, 12:36 PM

It looks ok imho. Yes, the domain doesn't sit right with me either. But it's your baby, in the end, you will do the right thing i bet

**MetaMan** · 03-02-2010, 01:03 PM

Jay i gave you the breakdown in your other thread.
follow those exactly no one here is going to be able to give you better advice.
you have good content and a good idea.

**RedSkorpio** · 03-02-2010, 01:21 PM

I would change the domain, lose the "tube" design and display the content in a different way.
