    Some people have no taste...

    I'll be quick with this story.

    About a year ago today, I offered to help out this adult model with her website for FREE.
    She gave me a direction and within 3 days I had the preview section of her site all worked out and online.

    The spec was simple - help her design and build a new site for FREE.

    This is the preview I made:

    http://www.purephat.net/preview/index.html

    http://www.purephat.net/preview/index_b.html

    This is her existing site - which she designed and built:

    http://sexykrisl.com/

    Is it me, or did she make the wrong choice with her current site?

    Working with her, really made me think twice about doing anything for FREE. As a developer and designer working at a top agency - I realise that fighting with clients is unavoidable - but it really grates me when someone can't take advice when all the work being done is for FREE.

    What she should have done was hire a professional.

    Spend you some brain.

        Well that's the funny thing, she was determined to have a similar looking site to the one she already had. Some of the design choices were forced onto the design and build.

        You can see that my examples have been influenced by her taste.

          It's her site and her choice. As long as she thanked you for your help and time without leading you on about things I can't see why you would be mad.

          You don't like my posts? Put me on ignore or fuck right off. I'll say what I want.

            That is one ugly looking woman. I cant believe anyone would waste money to join her website to look at her.

              For 2 hrs a day over 3 days... I don't think I did too bad... considering it was for FREE.
              And I am a professional FYI.

              I'd love to see what you can to do without even trying buddy ;-)

                Site is hopeless.

                Click photos / videos / free tour and unless you realise you need to scroll down the page doesn't appear to change.

                  So you're saying you were helping, but didn't really try? Ok, buddy.

                  I stopped doing my own design stuff a few years back and now have 2 people on staff who handle it all for me.

                  That said, I would still have no problem putting together something that might actually stand a chance of converting surfers in 2010.

                    I think her design looks better than yours, but that's just me.

                      Right you are.
                      And this happened a year ago. It was all very friendly.

                      The previews I made were a compromise for her requirements and taste. It's annoying when you know that the site could have been so much better.

                      But one positive thing came out of it.
                      It was just fun doing some porn work - rather than big name brands with a team of 20 or so.

                                  Yeah - looking at the trail of messages he leaves at other topics - he seems to think he's a wise cracking guy ;-)

                                  He just says stuff, for shits and giggles.

                                                    That really doesn't matter. Surfers care about CONTENT. Now that beig said the JOIN link is more obvious to me on the actual site. In the end its about getting the surfer to click JOIN. Now all the pink on the actual site is a bit annoying. Might make me click out of there. The background on Xer0's attempt reminds me of wallpaper at grandmas house. Not an image I want in my mind when I want to whack off. Both could use a bit of improvement

                                                      Yes it DOES MATTER. Anyone who says design doesnt matter has 0 clue wtf they are talking about.

                                                          where did i say content doesnt matter? they go hand and hand.

                                                          Stupid comment on your part.

                                                          You can have a great design with shitty content and still sell it. But then you have to have filler content like text to make up for the difference.


                                                          Surfers DO care about design. A proper design can increase conversions by insane amounts. A proper design displays that content in a professional manner that makes it sell.

                                                            Especially when accepting credit cards. The internet is pure image and what you see. When they see a professional base surfers are more likely to attach trusting value to the website.

                                                                                      I'd love to know which agencies you've worked for... that's none porn related.
                                                                                      I know because your design work on this site is low quality. And any "top" design firm would gasp at the look of it. i can tell by your font/lines/shading you dont know what you are doing.

                                                                                      No sorry i dont work for agencies nor do i claim to work for any. you're the one who did.

                                                                                      her newer site IS better.

                                                                                      Honestly you are not a designer. Stop calling yourself one. It makes real designers look bad and gives off the impression anyone can design.

                                                                                      You are an amateur wannabe. do not get it mixed up.
