Need Webmaster opinions - which new tour should I use?
 

OK, I am need some feedback. I have recieved two mockups of a new tour design for my site,and I want your feedback as to which to use. Please keep in mind that these are not completely done.

There are things about both designs that I like, so i want more opinions as to which route I should go


Please tell me which one you like and WHY! And which one you would say would sell better!

#3 gets my vote. :)

Pointless exercise. Design is subjective.

Use the FREE google website optimizer. Put both versions up, google sends half traffic to one and half to the other and then reports on which is the best and most importantly, which ELEMENTS on each are best.

Asking on gfy is just really a waste of time, unless you are just cunningly spamming your prog, in which case, carry on :D

You have a nice rack and I like #3.


.

Yes, design is subjective, but it is always a good to get feedback from those around you, both members and affiliates.

You're looking great Dawn, I'm in between #2 and #3 both are great.

not #1

do the split on #2 and #3

Dawn, I'm with AMP, number 3 looks the best, one not so good
hit me up when you get a chance vendzilla (at) Brianasbank (dot) com

#3 looks best to me

Thanks everyone. The more feedback as to WHY you pick the tour you did would be great. #2/3 are done by the same designers and if we were to go that route, it would probably be a combo of the two.

There is certain things about #1 that appeal too, such as how it is unique and clean vs a tour that might be too simular to solo sites that are 'collages'. Once again, neither is the final product and images will likely change.

But, I do have to consider what tour my affiliates will send traffic to, so thus why I am glad I am getting your feedback.

I don't know if this will make my decision any easier, but keep the comments coming, and please tell me WHY!

Quoted for truth. Only way to find out is AB Test.

Didn't feel #1 said as much about what you have got on the site as well as not being keen on the overall appearance.

#2 and #3 land the 83,377 photo's / 1,477 videos / next cam show right in front of you on my screen and I feel that carries more weight with someone that just needs tipping into a snap decision than all the tiny text - next cam show especially.

Between number 2 and 3. and keep in mind this is a solo site so make sure to tell about you, not just the site.

#3 for sure :)

aesthetically speaking I'd say #3. #1 may convert better and #2 isn't even finished. All in all, all 3 are too confusing, being #1 the closest to be going to the point.

Remember, the more pages you have, the more time a surfer spends in your tour, the more the impact and call to action will be diluted.

Either way, this could be solved by a/b testing as some people said, but at simple sight I can tell you these tours will fail. With your looks, I'd go for something simple and to the point, not "preview this, that and that" and one page for every single bit of features you may have, but "wanna see ME doing THIS and THAT and THAT? Then fucking sign up motherfucker!!!"

Finally, don't promise sections and features, but reward members with them. I mean, it shouldn't be like "I have this and that and that" but "occasionally, from time to time, if you're a good member, I'll reward you with something special"

Just my :2 cents:

I totally agree in every single word with harvey.

A/B test it. Most of the people here have no idea what is going on with anything.

I like #2

I would use #1 but with a bigger video make it HD aspect ratio.

The reason I picked #3 over the first two is this:

#1: Too much information. It's info overload in a hard to follow zig-zag pattern, not enough focus on image/video content. Unfortunately, that flaw is a big one, so that's where I stopped considering this one.

#2: Better. Better info wrap up top but falls apart on the lower section, still quite a ton of info, and there are a number of technical design flaws.

#3: Of the three, this one is the most image/video content focused. Less "noise" overall. i.e. less menu tabs, (I know there's a sub-menu, but it's still better) less life story, etc... It's concise. Good natural info wrap all around, no wandering eyeballs. There are less technical design flaws and are only minor and virtually unnoticeable. It's not perfect, and could be improved, but is the best choice of the three options. (In my opinion. That doesn't mean my opinion is right.)

Getting the main video trailer box up a little higher would be helpful I think. And remember, strokers just need a little written encouragement on the main page, not a full biography. Bios and stuff can come after page 1 if they're interested in that stuff.

For what it's worth, never make a surfer "fight" or struggle to get through your tour. You want a nice smooth curving flow of key elements, get him worked up, get his dick in his hand and get him to that box where he puts his credit card number in, as fast as possible. I usually try to accomplish as much of this as I can in the top 1/3rd of the page 1 design if possible. If you don't sink your hooks in there, your odds go down dramatically from there on. :2 cents:
