StraightDownTheTubes Design...keep it or kill it?

**Oracle Porn** · 03-02-2010, 09:32 AM

kill it, i bet productivity is horrible.

**Agent 488** · 03-02-2010, 09:34 AM

go with more traditional tube design.

**Roald** · 03-02-2010, 09:35 AM

kill it.

**babymaker** · 03-02-2010, 09:36 AM

its the name that needs a change design is ok.

**LeRoy** · 03-02-2010, 09:39 AM

Keep it for a while.

I dont think enough time has passed.

But if advertisers are backing out then kill it

**Libertine** · 03-02-2010, 09:46 AM

kill it with fire

**Jack OAT** · 03-02-2010, 09:47 AM

100% Kill it. I would wager bounce rate is >60% It's a fundamentally bad design for a handful of reasons.... looks too much like a paysite.. all content below the fold etc etc..

**Nicky** · 03-02-2010, 09:47 AM

How about the domain? I'm not digging It

**SteveHardeman** · 03-02-2010, 09:50 AM

I think the design is fine. I do think you should get a new domain name though.

Just my 2 cents.

**Agent 488** · 03-02-2010, 09:51 AM

you can keep the domain but also brand it as |sdtt."

**GTS Mark** · 03-02-2010, 10:00 AM

I would suggest doing a redesign and also selecting a shorter tube domain

**Monique Niccole** · 03-02-2010, 10:05 AM

I'd at least tweak it. The header is huge and pretty busy - logo gets lost. I'd also move the email capture out of the footer and put it up the page in the right column to get more juice out of your list building.

**BradM** · 03-02-2010, 10:08 AM

Change the name and design

best reply ever

**Nubianprince** · 03-02-2010, 10:19 AM

yup not feeling the design

**FreeFastHost** · 03-02-2010, 10:20 AM

Design is terrible. Domain is even worse.

Best comment I've heard so far. Smart.

**BAKO** · 03-02-2010, 11:06 AM

That's the worst design of all time

I love that sig, she has such a dirty look on her face after she pulls it all the way out-

For some reason she also reminds me of Alicia Keys.

**datatank** · 03-02-2010, 11:40 AM

The big header is lame you are hiding the content
The site logos are lame No one has heard of these sites.
The domain is way to long and the joke is lost on the surfers ( YOUR Audience )

**Imortyl Pussycat** · 03-02-2010, 11:47 AM

loved the domain and the content but hated the design from jump. change it now before it's really branded

p.s. no poop brown anywhere on the site, it reminds me of straight down the pooper tube with that color in the word tube *giggles*

**PastorSinAlot** · 03-02-2010, 11:49 AM

Give it more time, can you add more black videos

**goldfish** · 03-02-2010, 12:05 PM

Kill the header, it detracts from the overall design and pushes what ppl came to the site looking for way to far down the page.

**dyna mo** · 03-02-2010, 12:06 PM

if it were mine?

i would tweak the current design, not keep it or kill it.

in particular-

smaller header, similar showcasing, just smaller. i would also incorporate a tagline s.a. *check out all these sites you get for free*

much smaller category tabs/font, maybe even show categories here

i would make the *today's exclusive video* show an actual screenshot instead of the tube logo.

i think the ads on the side are too big in relation to the clip screen shots.
the specifics of each scene is in too big of font. as you scroll past the ads, the site looks off kilter since the ad space is still taking up space next to the tube screen shots but there are no ads, that's prime space there eh.

there's no reason listed for getting the free membership to the tube

the premium partners area looks weak, i'd make it look full, i.e. no *partner link here* shizz

the 3 sex search ads across the bottom look cheesy also, esp. since they are all the same ad.

the ad copy you have at the bottom should be at the top.

i think there should also be a schedule showing what's upcoming.

:-)

Any good tube designers or CSS people in here?

**digitaldivas** · 03-02-2010, 12:36 PM

It looks ok imho. Yes, the domain doesn't sit right with me either. But it's your baby, in the end, you will do the right thing i bet

**MetaMan** · 03-02-2010, 01:03 PM

Jay i gave you the breakdown in your other thread.
follow those exactly no one here is going to be able to give you better advice.
you have good content and a good idea.

**RedSkorpio** · 03-02-2010, 01:21 PM

I would change the domain, lose the "tube" design and display the content in a different way.

**czarina** · 03-02-2010, 01:23 PM

the header is too busy and whatever message is sending, it's hard to convey

**Semi-Retired-Dave** · 03-02-2010, 01:57 PM

Great content, graphics are too heavy for a tube site. Keep it simple and Straight to the point. They are there for your content, not for you to show off your design.

Start fresh with an easier domain. Just let me know the name change, I was getting used to this one and now it's going straight down the tubes.

Same thought on the poop colored text.

**Enjoy Bucks** · 03-02-2010, 06:14 PM

not bad design, but in hands can do way better

**EscortBiz** · 03-02-2010, 06:25 PM

simple sells, what is not important to the surfer do not show, potential is there big time, but id scrap the whole design, when you have a design that webmasters screm that its too plain, thats when you will know that u have a true winner

**cybermike** · 03-02-2010, 06:42 PM

the header is way too big

**fl_prn_str** · 03-02-2010, 07:14 PM

what???

there is no.....not really sure...???

**cosis** · 03-02-2010, 08:55 PM

the domain is too long
