v2 launched: Optical Amplitude :smokin

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Life is sweet:)

Very cool! :thumbsup

Now I KNOW I can't afford you :(

:1orglaugh

beautiful, but the navigation is a bit hard to find offhand, looks good tho

Totally sucks...find a new designer.

Your first design was the best -> The one with the magician's hand. This one is too.... mainstream (?).

Also, can you have more webmaster resource buttons on the bottom of the page? You don't have enough :P

AMP, you live in Hawai'i? I'm moving there this summer. Tell me how it is :)

Confusing, VERY confusing design....

Welcome back Amp.

nice new layout.

:thumbsup

my eyes hurt,,,

must sleep now

Looks damn good to me! :thumbsup

to the untrained eye, my monkey looks like a hooker.

great design dude :thumbsup

Amp is fucking unstoppable

nice design:thumbsup

Looks good :thumbsup

*Aloha Amp*

Nice to see you back on the board. I missed you :)

very nice.

the top table row on the rounded corner thingy is a bit off in Mozilla, but other than that very nice. :thumbsup

*blushing*

well... it's more of a cameo appearance..... I'm still in Silicon Valley tonight and our big ass farewell party is on Saturday..... we fly Monday morning, and Net access will be a long damn time comin'.... probly not until the 15th.... :(

so.... just thought I'd get this new version up and get my board feet wet again before I make a huge disappearance......

but when I get back... I'll be back with new gear, new software, and a whole new studio...... :Graucho

surfin' at a moments notice and da brews are on me. :winkwink:

dude, you do awesome work. :thumbsup

wish i had that talent myself, or some lackey to do it for me for free or real cheap.. i don't have the kind of cash to front for fancy design (especially since right now i wouldn't have a site to take advantage of it..)

but if i ever have a couple $k for a full-out paysite or something else.. i will hit you up. i love your work.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Are those new mafiaporn tours done after ZayneE's suggestions? Or was the first? Is there any difference in conversion rates between the two? I see Snow has changed to the the new tour.

excuse me? :eek7

Zayne had suggestions?

I fail to see what Zayne has to offer to anything.

do we really need to go here?

Also, what new software would you be using? Every designer here seems to use Photoshop, Imageready and Fireworks. Nice work on the site.

I'm not every designer. :)

Sorry, had read somewhere Zayne suggested changes for the tour.

don't believe everything you read.... :winkwink:

Though I would definitely be interested in knowing about the conversion ratio differences between the 2 tours. If the text really helps sales, I think most paysite designers will start putting in buckets of text in their tours now.

Dam, I dont see a pricing on your site..

Word! I'll be seeing you in September :thumbsup

I'm kinda like a Lamborghini dealer.... "If you gotta ask, you probly can't afford it." :glugglug

lookin' forward to it gorgeous... :winkwink:

dude your designs are tight and everything but your a LITTLE to cocky about it...if you wanted to get technical,there are a lot of guys at webinc who would crush your stuff :) don't make the guy feel like a fool just because he wanted some pricing... word is,your tours don't do much anyways,pretty isn't always money...

ahhhh.... I see we need the standard 1st grade spelling out of things here.

Clue #1: It is not uncommon at all to NOT list prices nowadays for design work, because of the fact that every kid out there with a bootleg copy of Photoshop thinks they can avoid working at Taco Bell simply because they found a crack.

Clue #2: Who the fuck are you and why the fuck should I listen to a goddamned word you say?

lol I'm not trying to argue because I honestly do like your shit and it's better than 9 out of 10 people you will find anywhere...but you don't have to be a dick about it that's all I'm saying... I'm not telling you to put prices on your site either,but whoever that guy is asked where your prices were and you belittle him... If i were you I would be at least have way nice to get as much business as you can while you're on this GFY design contest promotion high lol....

then you obviously don't know something you should...

Amp does what he wants because he's earned that right.

looks good

people with 100+ sites in their portfolio earn the right... damn a contest on GFY...

I'm not going to yap about it anymore though,some other people probably feel the same way heh... carry on

fair enough.

I wasn't.... (belittling him). he wasn't asking for prices. If he was serious, he would have contacted me and not made some snide comment on a bbs. A snide comment deserves one in return. I'm very well versed in this game. :winkwink: I don't list prices for a reason. If someone wants work done, they know how to contact me. If they don't, they don't. Unlike the droves of spammers that come and go throughout the day, I don't need to whore myself out to every 40 post flake bitching about me not listing prices of $5 bucks a banner on my site. I could fucking care less. I'm not here to win popularity status. Never have been.

Am I cocky? Sure.

Webinc? Yeah, they got some nice stuff..... sharky has my respect..... so do alot of other people.

Am I a dick? When have I NOT been a dick.

Bottom line: I just don't give a shit. :smokin

that's what I like!... now I have no argument with you :)
and NOW I'll be hitting you up in a month for a couple sites...(those gallery style tours you have are going to be stolen so fast lol)

That Black Butter looks hot!

Hmmm...

Hot butter...

hmmm...

Tastes good with...

Mmmmmmm - FLAPJACKS!

how do you know I don't have 400 sites in the backend? You don't. You know what I show you. And if that's 20 or 30 sites.... that's what you know. But what's on the other side? What are you NOT seeing? :)

okay..... gotta go friends..... I'll see ya when I get my Net connection hooked up! (probly a couple weeks at least :( )

Still not sure what new software you can use. Except maybe Fireworks MX and photoshop 7, which is what I assume what most designers here use. They also use Flash which you dont seem to. I have all the latest in graphic software with me, though I still let my designers do the paysite designing.

Anyway your designs are not good enough that I would pay something I can't afford. A lot of great designers here who work for $1200 per site and they do flash as well. I'll stick to the tried and tested that convert for me instead. From my experience I can tell you those tours on your portfolio will not convert well at all. Sites like Ninaknowsbest.com convert, not stuff with lots of circles and rectangles and lines and dots and stylish fonts and photoshop filters. They would definitely be more suited for more mainstream work rather than paysite tours. But mainstream work require those same dots lines and jiggles in flash format.

Surfers only want one thing - good pictures and lots of them, not good design - give them the simplest of layout with quality updated pictures and they will come flocking back. You have to sell the site's content to them, not the design. A complicated design will scare off many dialup surfers. It's a skill selling the content, and unfortuntely it does not have much to do with photoshop or flash skills. Your main site design seems to be making that mistake as well - trying to sell yourself off as one of those make-money-quick schemes instead of just showing your work. There are very few paysite tours in your portfolio- you still seem to be on the learning curve as far as paysite tours are concerned.

If you really want to learn, check out the designs on sites that convert - bangbus, realbutts, karupspc, karas amateurs, blacksonblondes. You wont find fancy graphics on any of them. I can safely bet no experienced sponsor is going to use your services for paysite tours with those designs in your portfolio.

Pfft, what are you, a n00b? You want the greatest Graphics Application in the world?
