Thats all you need.
Men.com being a portal, it will want visitors there as long as possible, so, it will need sticky content., not minimal like GoogleSIG TOO SMALL! Maximum 1200x600 button and no more than 30 text lines of ALL SIZES and COLORS. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 6240x4800 instead of a 1024x800.Comment

i didnt say they only did flash, neither did you, but you talk about a company thats pretty much only known for their flash designs, which is obviously the high priced crap you were quoting. $30k and 60k for minimal flash or static html? lolllll ok

and bodygain is more geared towards men, and weight lifting, building muscle mass. i think the dark harder appearence suits it well
im going to be making a mainstream version of it though with a white background.Comment

Either way, let me know.

I'm telling you, most guys here do sites based on pictures. Try doing a magazine and you'll see how fun it is. NOT!
I have adult in the back pocket if this becomes too much of a headache, but we are getting advertisers and some of the other features we have upcoming can't have adult, so we're going to give them a shot and see what happens.

It would be shames too use it for adult. I think there is much more opportunity/potential keeping it as a men?s portal/magazine, long term that is. I think in house writers/designers is the way too go with such a big project?..Originally posted by KRL

However, even if its keep mainstream you?ll probably see most of your traffic going to you ?sex? pages?.you need a doctor sex, get someone exclusive.
Also, don?t forget about seo, askmen is huge with that?.

So far its going fine with the mainstream approach it just takes way longer than doing it adult style, and adds many more elements to the equation.Originally posted by galleryseek
I'd hate to see that happen. It'll work out
I need to find a way next to build in an extremely discreet navigation route to adult content on there without turning off the mainstream advertisers. Any ideas would be helpful.
One idea we had was to build it into the concierge club which is another feature we're still developing where only registered members will have access to those links. If you would like to develop your domains, you can lease inexpensive foreign labor

Well, yes, but we all come to a point when we understand that its all eye candy. This is a highend site so some subtle flash effects would be good, but not if you have to sacrifice usability. Read "Dont make me think" by Steve Krug.Comment

Actually old anarchy.com designs rockedOriginally posted by KRL
If there is one thing I've learned and this goes for myself as well its next to impossible to have a room of people look at a site and all agree they like the design.
When it comes to web sites everyone has their own likes and dislikes for color, spacing, buttons, flash, backgrounds, fonts, and on and on. There are so many elements and that is why you get such a variety of opinions.
The hardest thing so far for me has just been getting everyone on the teams to agree. Its a real challenge.Originally posted by rayadp05Comment

Just my
but anyone trying to make a design for Men.com, I would avoidany circular shapes (even the logo...)
Curves, circles = softer for women
Squares, lines = harder for men

Good Shit.Originally posted by dunefield
If i had a domain like men.com i would make it more upmarket for a gq, esquire style crowd rather than your ordinary american male...
they spend $$$ and usually are busy (eg. business men)... plus you can sell products like aveda, nivea and other toilette/skin care products...
one thing i see missing on the page is gadgets... guys like to see the latest pda or cell phone so they can show it off in the next boardroom meeting...
KRL thanks for the chance and I'd love to enter but I'd say you go straight to the big boys for a design.

Well I think we see eye to eye on somthing
Indeed ya can not argue with direct simplicty.
Fight as some do about the way Yahoo looks or google...
Google says far more than a full page @ Yahoo.
Thats how the web works.
Thats why I always ask..
"Whats it do?"
If it does nothing. It has no purpose.
The result of no purpose is oblivion it will be lost, forgotten.
