Looks clean but perhaps also looks a little complicated from a surfer perspective.
http://www.18onlygirls.com/
This site has an uncomplicated pre-join page but it isn't anything ground breaking in terms of design.
Makes me wonder why no adult sites that have various price points as well as join options (credit card, debit card, check) don't use join pages like this for example (minus the "what's included"):

As stated, I totally understand that pretty join pages don't always equate to better join ratios but it just seems that the adult sector isn't even trying to marry the two and instead making other aspects of their sites pretty and letting standards, in terms of design, drop when it comes to the join page.
It's just an observation and I thought I would be able to spark a healthy discussion on the topic. |
The first thing to understand is that, chances are, if a company is "good" and "smart", they will A-B test their pre-Join pages. So of the ones you showed as examples I am guessing that the website owner has determined, through testing, that what you see does the best - for THEM.
Or maybe not. LOL But here is what I have found after selling paysites for 6+ years: unusual works best. Surfers may see hundreds of join pages on adult tours - they check 'em out, even if they do not actually Join - so my belief (and success to prove it) is to have clean, simple designs like these:
http://www.erosexotica.com/join.html
http://www.felluciablow.com/join.html
http://www.screwmywifeclub.com/join.html
http://www.leslesbians.com/join.html
You may notice on these pages that the Join options are small and odd-shaped. they also have a tiny orange border around them. Why? Because after YEARS of A-B testing these Join pages work wonderfully well - for ME. Believe me, if I found another design that worked better I would switch in a heartbeat. LOL
Many, many, MANY Join pages (the "pre" Join pages, not the CC processer's hosted forms) are ugly as shit and I, too, wonder about how effective they are. Too many choices, or a clunky design, would affect sales - I would THINK. But again, the ONLY way to know is to A-B test everything.
