I run a graphic and web design firm out of Seattle, WA. In our business it is important to make sure that any project that goes out the door is aesthetically pleasing but more importantly make sure that it properly communicates our client's product/group/service/etc to it's target audience.

I've been looking to start a TGP (or possibly even a content driven adult site), but the more I look into this realm of business, the more it seems like an anomaly to me. It seems as though a terrible aesthetic is the best way to hook your audience in when it comes to porn. Some of the largest and most popular TGP/adult sites are a visual mess. Now with as much money as these sites are making, they surely could afford to drop a couple bills on a pleasing and efficient site design; so it brought me to thinking..

Is bad site design good in the adult industry? Does your average porn freak generally go for the cheesy home-made appeal? Are they turned off by anything that looks mass produced, professional and corporate?

If you're a webmaster, what have you found? And if you're a consumer what floats your boat? I?d like to know what im getting into before I spend too much time.
