what would you change on these paysite designs?
 

Hi guys,
Take one min. and tell me if you like these designs, and if not, what should the designers change?

http://www.hardcoredelight.com/beta/ <- xxxmov.com
http://www.hardcoredelight.com/beta1/ <- hardcoredelight.com

ANY input would be very welcome :)

thanks a lot for your help!!

/Bucho!

Hard to say, it kinda loads slow on my cellphone connection.

Loaded pretty quick for me. I like the way things look as they are.

My personal opinion?

Hardcoredelight - beta1 - I like the idea but the girls in the pic look dead.....the girls need color. There are alot of images jammed in there......maybe a little hard to capture what you're trying to convey.

beta2- looks great and probably would convert better.

Then again, what do I know :-)

yeah - well, they might be a bit on the heavy side...

Thanks :)

beta/ is wayyyy too busy and devoid of contrasting colors. beta1/ looks a lot better.

The first one looks like the porn gods puked naked women onto the screen. Lots of shit crammed together.

But hey, I hate all splash pages.

hehe :)
well, you have a point... the same designer did www.facialdelight.com and it converts pretty ok so far...so we will see.

agree ... photos are just to crammed together.

Beta1 is much better than Beta. Besides a list of conversion no-nos, Beta simply is confusing to the eye.

Beta1 makes much better use of contrast and text that appears clear and readable. Both designs do suffer from the "get my money's worth" syndrome a bit though. For awhile there as many new designers came on the scene, people hiring them started to want to see more and more graphically as they compared one designer to another, trying to get their money's worth. What it led to was overly layered, busy designs that look hard to make but rarely earn the webmaster the kind of conversions they need to turn a good profit.

Anyway, I babble. Beta1 is much better. I would even suggest simplifying it more if you don' t get the best returns. And that's coming form a guy who would much rather get paid more to do more graphics! =]

You should replace the bucket of popcorn with a bottle of astroglide and a dirty rag...

thanks for the input guys!

When will people learn that eye-candy doesnt NOT make your site convert.

btw - would you guys recommend setting up free sample vids?
or a bunch of sample pics?

Any of you that have tested conversion with and without actual samples?

It was very used a few years ago, but its like most paysites have taken them off again, and god knows that bandwidth is a LOT cheaper now, so that cant be the reason ;)

thanks again for your input!
