    FACT! Most Adult Web Designers SUCK!!!!

    ( Most, not all )

    This is a proven fact, just ask around and you will find out.

    I ask for designers, not some idiot who learned how
    to make a banner last week and made two free adult sites
    5 years ago to promote Adult Check or Age Check.

    FACTS TO SUPPORT MY CLAIM:

    1) Pixelated images
    2) Same fucking colors
    3) Cannot spell correctly
    4) NO attention to detail
    5) Overpriced crap
    6) Stretch the images to make a fat chick look skinny
    7) No creativity
    8) Never complete jobs on time
    9) Use yellow and orange for every design

    Most outsourcing companies are guilty of the same.


    If anyone knows a REAL designer, let me know!
    I have some work for them.


    Thanks,

              I'm personally not the best visual designer when it comes to websites but my underlying code is always rock-solid and my English is exceptional. I don't claim to be the most color-coordinated web designer either, but thumbnailing is a special interest to me...so much so that I wrote my own thumbnailer application out of desperation.

              However, I do agree that a lot of the smaller adult websites were designed by someone with the design sense of an ox. It happens.

                Stretching fat chicks to make them look skinny is what pro's do, they use the same technique in fashion magazines dude.

                  I must say though, I have to agree heavily with point 7, even for some of the larger sites. Then again, there's only so much creativity you can use...

                      I do, I want someone that can bring my vision to life, not use a cookie cutter to create it. Besides if your depending on your designer to tell you how to construct sites that convert you have some problems

                                    I can think of several solid designers. Although I'm inclined to agree with you on "most" people out there, they are probably mostly made up of those I wouldn't go looking for or recommending anyway.

                                    It's not hard to find the real deal, you should be able to ask anyone who's been around a long time and they should be able to tell you who's good and reliable. As I said, I can think of several.

                                    I don't know how busy Fletch is right now but he does good work. Same with Headless. Plenty of others who do work for whatever companies they're with, but some of them might take on extra work from time to time I don't know. Sarah_Webinc has had quite a few compliments on her work thrown her way over the years.

                                    And what the hell, I myself have done quite a bit of freelance work over the past 7 or 8 years and have never had a complaint. I just don't put myself out there as a "designer" because I do too many other things to devote all my time to it.

                                    Go with the long time reputable.

                                    And I'm not bagging on newbs and outsourcers exactly, they deserve a chance too... but they have to PROVE themselves. You want repeat business in adult? Then do deliver the kind of service J.R. is asking for above, and deliver it to EVERY CUSTOMER YOU GET, period. Do that and it won't take long for word to get around that you're a go-to designer too.

                                      It's not designer's job to write the text, this is part of the marketing pitch of a website.

                                          i like to think i do something a little better than the norm when i design a site for myself. does it help any in the long run? i don't know, some of the simplest piece of shit looking sites seem to do the best. i know with my next wave of RSS fed blogs i'm going to keep things pretty basic. my code isn't always the most solid, but as far as color and looks go, i can usually handle myself, and outsource the cleaning up of the code...

                                                most of the people offering work for designers sucks! i replied to at least 10 offers for job, i was mostly first or at the first places, i am doing design in few hours, for i think very small price, but when i contacted the people looking for "fast designer" they cant even reply to my ping! only two from as i said 10+-. so its really great to see "designers sucks". come on, wake up before you will say those sh*tty words

                                                      most of today's web designers suck.
                                                      If you won't feel as good, I won't feel as cheap.

                                                        The same can be said of alot of people wanting designs..
                                                        They want it in a day, they want it as cheap as possible, and you ask them what they want, they say you're a designer you should know...

                                                        I've worked for the same company for more than 3 years, not exclusive but they give me so much work I don't need to look anywhere else.
                                                        Although they are starting to take everything in house so I'll be looking for work again soon..hehe

                                                        So reasonable designers are about, but most have been snapped up..

                                                              1) Pixelated images

                                                              5) Overpriced crap
                                                              6) Stretch the images to make a fat chick look skinny
                                                              7) No creativity

                                                              9) Use yellow and orange for every design

                                                              Most outsourcing companies are guilty of the same.


                                                              If anyone knows a REAL designer, let me know!

                                                                        I don't know about others, I've a Marketing degree with specialization in Electronic Marketing. I think it proves on my design's conversions. However, when designing a site, no matter what your education dictates, you've to stick with what the client wants, no matter how crazy it sounds. I always mention the "correct" (being this a very discussable concept) option, but at the end, is what the client wants.

                                                                        Originally posted by Bake

                                                                        as for the fist post, I agree #3 applies to me sometimes, but that's because of my English, and I put that very clear everytime I work with a new client. None of the other applies. But I agree, those points are pretty common although I'd add BLUE to #9, which is the most commonly used color by most designers (Including JR's sites, the current and the previous one )

                                                                                What about the customers who pay their deposit, but hold the rest of the funds after the project is completed as ransom for more "alterations" and "additions" to the project?

I think it proves on my design's conversions. However, when designing a site, no matter what your education dictates, you've to stick with what the client wants, no matter how crazy it sounds. I always mention the "correct" (being this a very discussable concept) option, but at the end, is what the client wants.

                                                                                        Allways ask a designer to show you work that they made money from if they cant find one who can.

You get what you pay for.. If it is so easy to do then why don't you do it your damn self.

                                                                                              Fact most of the good designers pay attention to whiners that cant ever seem to get what they want and stay clear.

You get what you pay for.. If it is so easy to do then why don't you do it your damn self.
