How Much?

Nicky · 10-16-2005, 01:34 PM

How much does the design quality really matter in mainstream? In adult you don't have to go through extremes, all you need is a slutty sales text and link and you're done... how is mainstream different?

Then how much graphics is acceptable or prefered?

Overall I think graphics and the overall impression is more important in mainstream, since there are no nekkid pics to steal the show.
But I don't like sites that goes overboard, where the design is #1 and content 2d. Content is always #1 (weather it's text or images)

mainstream need clean neat sites.....overcrowded sites dont get too many page views

GTP Dave · 10-16-2005, 03:34 PM

Nicky, with mainstream sites your textual content and images play a big role... and this applie to adult as well.

Donkey · 10-16-2005, 03:47 PM

Yahm I agree with Dave, but I think that graphics cannot be bad... ya know, it does not have to be extraordinary design masterpiece, but it should not look like Jimmy's homepage 1999 if you know what I mean

Usability.

I've seen a lot of fancy sites with flash and heavy graphics, what are your views on that?

StiffyMcSpliff · 10-17-2005, 03:39 AM

To me a mainstream site should:

A) Be very functional. Layout is king, cause you need to point your vistors in the direction they want to go. This is true in adult, but in adult, you'll probably still make sales if your layout sucks. In my mainstream experince, if your layout sucks its like the surfer doesn't trust you, and won't by your product.

B) Have tonnes of content. Content is queen. You can have a killer layout, but if the content is dry, no one will even bother with it. Mainstream takes so much more to sell the surfer (well in my exp, which is pharmacy, computer/tech sites and paranormal) as they will want to read about the product long before they make that buy. As the adult surfer, will want to know about what their getting, you've gotta walk the balance of givening them what they want, but not too much. In mainstream products, give them everything you can. When they become fans of the product they will buy, and continue to buy as long as you haven't jerked them around.

Graphics, though nice to look at, don't really mean much. You can achive the same effect on a pure text website (other than some pics for the products themselves) with a proper layout, and it loads tonnes quicker and saves you some bandwidth.

Nicky · 10-17-2005, 01:31 PM

Now get me, I've seen tons of sites, they all look great, flashy but in the end it's a load of bullocks...I don't want to be targetted as a bullshit site by them just looking at it being all nice and flashy...
