What are your current favorite converting tours?

[ForrestBlack]

Tour design has evolved so much since the early days and what viewers respond to has changed a lot even recently as well. There are sites I really like that have less than awesome tours and sites I'm not as big a fan of that I honestly lean towards sending traffic to still, as they actually convert.

From a design/structure and presentation of site features and content point of view, shout out your current membership site favorites, either based on personal taste or sales effectiveness. I'm super curious what y'all think is good these days. And yes, I'm going to think about posting some of my favorites in here as well.

i still go for homemade html composer/notepad looking sites for amateur content. needs to look and feel non corporate and personal underground like. sometimes wordpress and templates are not the best thing in earning surfer trust. old style sites look established and non scammy is what im saying. dont be afraid to put your name on it and own it bro

I mostly agree. The over-produced sites can be off-putting, but it depends a lot on the style of the content. My only experience, for example, is in magazine quality photo oriented sites, so the amateur look would undermine the quality perception. But, you are correct that the homegrown look can work well for solo-girl oriented sites, particularly if it's 'quirks' help highlight the personality of the talent.

The challenge to me is keeping a personal feel while prepping it for a mobile/HTML5 world, and I think a lot of programs just gave up on this evolution. My best converting affiliate sites are still pretty old school looking, but modern browsing habits are a challenge to cater to, while keeping that look.

I´m with modelcentro, 2 main sites, my official site NatalieK.xxx and our older site revamped with MC...

there is a 4 choice tour with MC, personally, we like the affinity, it´s clean, full page, mobile responsive and looks like a proper site tour, rather than the others, looking blog like...

I think clean fresh lines, everything in order and simple to read, a simple design is more appreciated these days, with either clean whites, beige or bright reds and blues, clean bright colours.

I think of all the MC templates the one you chose is my fav as a viewer. not too 'blog' looking but clean and highlights your content excellently. you did a fantastic job with it

*not a paysite hence no tours* but for my site quinn69.com I think I broke every rule of design in the book, but it works. it reflects me and my personality, which is really what I'm selling. I get better conversions there than I do on any directory site I ever listed on in the past, but for the one I actually designed myself

I guess in sum the best converting tours prob reflect the content/what's being sold

I enjoy your posts @Forrest, you always have something interesting to say

I do like the vibe on that and seems to reflect personality well. I really like the parallax tattoo reference paw prints right off the top. That is exactly the kind of personalized detail that works. I incorporated the model's tattoo art a bunch on the Scar13.com tour I did like a hundred years ago, and the RazorCandi.com tour, now that I think about it. They don't scale for mobile terribly well nowadays, but I'm loath to rebuild sites like these in a more modern style, even though I know I should.

your site is laid out simple, as you say, the colours and text choice is personal, so you´ve kept it as an amateur site that as you say reflects you and yes, this is why it works...

BTW, check the footer of my blog "NatalieKash.com" the base, on the right, "my favourite links"...

gracias for the praise

I did it all myself, was fun tbh. on the earlier (non mobile) version of the site my beloved boy Sarettah helped me make the background purple eons ago. when time for a change by then I figured out how to edit wp 'edit' files

but yeah, we gotta focus on these fuckers glued to their phones. kinda the norm these days when encountering new clients. assume half your potential consumers are on phone, that that they seem to spend most of their time with. weird but we gotta work with what we got, right?


to you and Nat, much love
