If You Needed a 2-3 Page Paysite Tour Designed, Who Would YOU Hire?
 

I'm looking to spread some cash around. I have a shitload of traffic coming in to my Network of paysites but my conversion rates (for some sites, not others) have taken a fucking nosedive lately. So I want some of my older, less-performing sites re-designed. BUDGET: $400-$500. I'm looking for clean, simple designs without a ton of bells-and-whistles so they can easily "fit in" my existing network.

Of course I want, need, must have, expect, pray, hope, dream that this newly-designed Tour will CONVERT at a higher rate than the sites I'm talking about (otherwise I could leave my shit-producing sites up then, couldn't I? LOL). A Goal of 5+ signups daily is what we're shooting for, based on 5,000+ uniques. Unreasonable? Maybe, for now, but we're growing....

So: 2-3 pages, consisting of a main Tour page, a Join page and possibly a new Splash. All graphics provided tho new banners should be made & incorporated into the new design. Looking for a relatively quick turnaround as it's only 2-3 pages (two weeks or under, app).

Any takers? Please list some actual examples of Tours you've designed that you are certain are producing/converting at a high rate. Thanks!!!

i would go with www.adultdesign.com the best :)

Im obviously biased...

I'm the best adult designer there is. (no offense to the other designers.... )

Unfortunately, there is no amount of money that will make a deal happen between us right now. I'll be ready for work-for-hire again in approx. 1 year.

AMAZING designs, fantastic company, thank you!! But I'm not looking to drop 3-4 grand on a design for an old 'dead' site. LOL Thanks tho!

i'd totally recommend me :) http://www.monstersofblog.com/?page_id=19

That's perfect, you're hired! Because that's what I gots: no amount of money. LOL Kidding - thanks tho!! (And hope whatever you got goin' on for the next year pays off BIG time for ya!)

btw, i guarantee my tours. if conversions don't get better/aren't good I'll re-do the entire thing :)

I would recommend www.kreadult.com - Awesome designers and well worth the money you would pay.

Sorry, I know it sounds really REALLY conceited, but I know what I can do and I know what's out there and I know what's available and I know what I'm worth. But I'm taking a year off. It's not going to "pay off" at all. I need to decompress.

My intent is not to embellish... just relaying the facts.

I hear ya brother! I was in no way disregarding your comments. But now I'm JEALOUS man! I'm working my ASS off so I can get to the point where I can take just one month off!!! Good luck with your de-compressing. :)

I don't know Amp's designs but he seems to be one of the few on here who understands that it's about WAY more than just the fancy colors. I really think all the quality developers are already in-house. The large firms just make pretty shit and give ZERO attention to the details like usability.

I could give you an HTML/CSS template that could basically be 'skinned' for each of your sites. It's a cheap way to get the job done, and my layouts highlight your content, and THAT is what will drive conversions.

I would never hire a company to develop a website for me that is using techno music on-load. That is so 1995 and is pretty much rule #1 of what NOT to do.

I would recommend that you invest in switching your pay sites over to a pay site tube business model instead of prettying up the pig so to speak. I think that will help your conversions, if you have some decent content and amount of it, then just flashy tours and design.

But that's just my :2 cents:

Silver Crocodile

5+ signups on 5000+ UV isn't unreasonable at all. Even at these times. Is it hard? Yes. Most sites are converting 1:2000 and up on average (yeah yeah I know, there are exceptions) and of course those 5000+ UV could be 5000+ chinese visitors, or 5000+ tube visitors, or blind links or whatever. But for US/euro clicked traffic it's not an unrealistic goal at all.

What I see as the main problem here is that you want to invest the money you expect to make in 3 days. Maybe that's why your sales are in a low, think about it, you want to pay amateur money for professional results. And the sad part is that you have content good enough to make way more than 5 sales, but you'll need to re-think your business model IMHO :2 cents:

I've considered that, actually. The 'Mister Peabody brand", so to speak, could be pasted on cams, tubes, etc etc. But i don't have endless content, just unique stuff.

And yes, putting lipstick on the pig is exactly what I want to do. LOL If sales double I'd be happy, tho the 'pig' factor is more in the designs themselves, not necassarily the basic content. Presentation can get you a long way, as you well know. :)

i recc. mudpixel in the phillipines, good artwork great prices espec if u need toons done

Well thank you, and I agree, to some extent. But the sites in my network that DO convert make 10 - 30 sales daily. That is, one or two do ten, a couple do fifteen, one does twenty, etc. THOSE sites are not to be touched. LOL It's the sites that are 'dead' - no new content anymore, or ever to come, with the same design from 2005 I'm talking about. So I figure, spend the $400 or so now, and if sales double then it pays for itself in x # of months. If it does not pay for itself then I know that my designs do what they do compared to 'professionally-designed' sites.

True, I'm sure if I spent $3,000 to have it designed it would look....like every other 'pretty' site out there. I have two friends in this business who did that and their sales never really went up. Four hundred I can gamble with (because I think some of the girls/content is still hot) than roll 3 G's.

Hope that makes sense. LOL One's business model is often fine-tuned to one's circumstances, as it were.

Thanks for the tip - will check him out!

Thanks man! 'Appreciate the recommendations as always :thumbsup

Email replied and added you on icq Mark :)

yes it makes sense. Furthermore, I wasn't even referring to "make it look pretty". To me, a professional design is about giving to the site what the site needs. See I didn't even offer my services, because I'm not able to do the kind of designs you have, and I think they would work better if they keep a consistence throughout your network. Plus, I figured you were talking about sites that were left out and probably have little to no upside, so I would never promise a result over that. I was referring in general, and no necessarily about you. If it was me, I'd keep them as they are in terms of design. But in terms of business model there are quite a bunch of alternatives you can do, and that's a very different story :2 cents:

Of that you are absolutely right (other business models)!! II just got into this side of the business because I shot a lot of content as Mister Peabody. LOL So I started a paysite, then another, and another...

But yeah, I basically want to see if a new design would bump sales for sites that have hardly any, so understanding it's a gamble going in there's never going to be any accussations to the poor designers I pick. LOL If I can't make 'em sell and they can, awesome. if I can't and THEY can't, well...no foul. :)

Ah. I see what you are saying.

I was simply suggesting if you are going to make the investment, then look at bumping up the entire site switching the cms and design. Not just the lipstick.

However, to pull off a tube pay site. You have to have a decent amount of content AND you have to do updates often. Which is something not everyone can pull off. Even with good niche content.

Which ones convert well right now?
Why not hire the guy that did that one?

JD says he guarantees his designs... can't hurt?

http://www.curvology.com/ we only use her for our designs

at that price, go with JD for sure

im interested

This is some of the worst quality work I have ever seen.

3 grand? :Oh crap

Can't go wrong with JD, on time on budget and always there is needed.:thumbsup

Those are way too busy...

siggie burp

I would suggest other companies but the budget would have to be bigger. However from what's been posted here, I think you'll find the right person for the job

LOL Because I'M the guy that designed everything you see on my network. I tried re-designing the 'crappy old sites' (2-3 years old+) into the style that converts well and....nadad. LOL So now I'm trying something differant - but if the new designs don't sell then it IS the content and I can stop worrying about it. :)

Hi JD!! Sorry i didn't get back to you, LATE night last night. Let's discuss?

ICQ: 579915163

if you are still check out our portfolio www.idsadult.com
:thumbsup:thumbsup

Hi doode, check my portfolio ;) .. www.studiosporno.com

www.creationcrew.com

if still needed :) :) :)

thanks

There's only one name I'd even consider. Headless.

http://www.notanotherdesigner.com

I'd hire Czarina for design, Woj for PHP

Woj is already on the case (he's great!!)! Czarina's designs kick-ass but beyond my current budget. Thanks tho!

Welll, Headless seems to have lost his Head because the link has expired. LOL

good luck there

sent you an icq ;)

MisterPeabody: thanks for considering me :) If you have a small budget for your next project, I'll still be interested in giving you a competitive quote.

Well then fire that guy then ;)

you forgot to show the good quality ones, but.... who's counting? Either way, absolutely tasteless on your side. Even worse: let's say your designs are 1000x better. Yet they can charge 3k. Hint hint :2 cents:

dropped my cell# in your icq running out for a bit ;)

Sorry man, I was here but my ICQ suddenly decided to stop alerting me to incoming messages so i didn't see the little squinting icon. LOL I'm around. :)
