What does everyone think about bluedesignstudios.com? I am looking at their portfolio and it looks ok to me, but I have had problems with designers in the past wanting to do the bare minimum they can. Hell one did not want to change 60% of the images in the graphics for one tour page to the next. They did of course but I really don?t want to have to tell someone to do a decent job every day just to get a project done, and then have to go back and do most of it myself or pay another designer.

If these guys are not worth the trouble could anyone recommend someone that can create designs that will really stand out.

I havn't used blue design for about 2 years now. I know that in the past I had them actualy redo a whole site after I was not happy with the draft. They redid it no questions asked. Andrew was always good to work with.

Im not sure if they have changed but I used them for 4-5 dif sites in the past and have always been happy.

Ya I was talking to Andrew last night about this time thought e-mail about a job and then he just stopped talking or replying to my e-mails. Its not like I said anything wrong, he just stopped responding, I don?t know but I have had some bad experiences with designers so far

Maybe something happened. You would think he would just say No if he couldn't have it done

I've never done business with them (so I have no vested interest), but I watch GFY closely and contribute a fair amount, and I've mostly heard pretty good comments about Blue Design Studio...

I've actually heard some rather bad things about Bluedesign Studios. I'm sure they were isolated incidents, but still.

Not everyone can be perfect 100% of the time...not even me :)

And you would be right man, I have worked with them. Was not too much fun, but in the end of the day they did create something that was worth keeping, BUT I did have to take it to someone else to complete properly.

If you don't want to go with a company,
I could arrange designs for ya. Details listed...

Ya that was what I was thinking too, was not going bad or anything they just stopped talking.

I really need a Pro on this job man, I am kind of picky about the design work of my tours. After all a really good tour or promo items are sooooooooooo important to me.

I've done a TON of work with bluedesign, and still work with them to this very day. Like right now. They rock. You might want to try talking to Wade as well.

Nice sig... :winkwink:

Max, I usually ignore these types of posts about people looking for designers, but feel free to shoot me a message on ICQ. I can show you a couple things and if you like my style we can work something out.

I'm not a 'traditional adult designer' so don't expect big heavy graphics with bevels and drop shadows from me. I'm more of a usability guy, and very clean.

Ya I really do want to talk to them about some work, but get just the feeling it might not be a mutual thing. I like their portfolio, and have seen them around, its just weird to have them stop talking to me like that some how it just seems like a bad really start.

I offer a design service. It costs $10,000. You get what you want in a an agreed upon amount of time :)

Sorry but I am lost now?

If I wanted 10 tours we could talk I guess man :warning

I kind of do want heavy graphics on this though man. Minimalists approaches do not impress me to much generally. I can do a few cut-outs and some text and call it a tour on my own you know

I do heavy graphics tours. Drop me a line if interested

If your a web designer why can you not create your own site then? Or even link a simple e-mail address on that one page? Seems really fishy to me man, and I need a pro to work with. If you would like to see some examples of the type of graphics I do like check out Bucksfactory.com. Keep in mind I am not talking about content here, I am talking about design and layout.

Hey Maxpower,

If bluedesign can not accommodate you, I would be happy to discuss your needs. Please check out my portfolio:
www.envisionextadult.com (No Templates, all sites Unique)
www.envisionext.com/moveahead (Flash Work)

Can chat anytime you like on ICQ 721536
Thanks

They are good but little too expensive.

Ya man, its not going to work out with them, and I did see some of your posts before in other threads, but your portfolio URL is not working think your site has crashed :warning

Well expensive is not really the problem, in fact I am sure I will have to pay more to get this all done. Finding someone that can and will do what they say IS the problem though :(

Thats odd, I am able to get to it, my friend Jersey can but my friend in Miami can not. Can you check it in 30 mins....?

Are you available to chat on ICQ?

I know this might be weird, but ICQ some how fucks my PC up so I do not have it. I am about to go to bed too man, but don?t worry LOL I will be back tomorrow and I have to get going on this soon. I will look again tomorrow, as well as talk with you and a few other guys around here I am sure. I so need a reliable designer never had one before :liebe028:

This is the second time I have seen someone say you do really good work man, and I can only hope you are not paying them LOL, so I will leave my e-mail for ya [email protected] even though I can not really see anything, and when I wake up you will be at the top of my list :)

You do not have to e-mail me, I will find you later for sure just wanted to offer it

Who do they say is the best few then man? :helpme

thanks for the kind words...

Actually it is. I don't know if the guy who quoted you $10K was serious or not, but adult design is generally between 1/4 and 1/10 of mainstream prices.

That isn't because adult designers are a bunch of charitable guys and gals, eager to help other people make more money at their expense. Sometimes it is because they are less skilled, which may not be obvious to those who do not understand marketing and usability themselves. Sometimes they take shortcuts, such as having PhotoShop output the code: it works, but bears no relation to current standards and it's a pain to modify later.

The best you can hope for is a good designer who is careful with his customer mix, such that only very few ask for more than minor mods. He can handle those few without making a bad joke of his rates, but that is also the reason why, unless you can be very specific about what you want, you will likely end up with something which is basically fine, but fairly generic. Okay the picture is complicated a bit with some people being based in eastern Europe or Asia, but even for them at the rates they quote, there simply isn't enough leeway to spend much time on individual creativity.

bump for you

Ive been working with bluedesignstudio for the past year & have been very happy. Ask for Wade.

Hi there. Please check us out:)

bluedesign studios is way overpriced plain and simple.. I actually had one of their past clients come to me because they priced her so high just for simple graphic changes.

I can't open it either.

I use them. Andrew always works until the job is complete no matter how many times I want to change things around. I've had nothing but good experiences with them.

I will use them again.

i've used them, i worked with wade

i can say nothing but good things about them


notice that everyone saying something "bad" about them in this thread has a small post count & nothing in their signature?? that's a clue they're probably alts - or someone who's full of shit

:)

You could even talk to me about that. Ever seen http://adultmix.biz ?

Have ordered designs from Bluedesign Studios, and they are in the top of adult design companies out there... in the years we have been working with Bluedesign Studios there has not been any problems with service :2 cents:

Bluedesign Studios rocks :thumbsup

They are not expensive.. they charge according to the quality they provide.. Wade and Andrew are great guys, maybe something happened try again via ICQ, I only have good things to say about them.

If you still can't decide what you want. Feel free to browse my site portfolio at www.s2odesigns.com

Maybe my style suits what you need.

Thanks,
Michael
