Feedback on freesite

[Greenguy]

It's weird, but I can tell as soon as I look at a page with skyscraper banners if the page was built around them or if they just fit empty space on the page. Especially if there's one stuck right in the middle of the page - it's really hard to work around that, especially with 3 gallery links. It just doesn't seem right to me.

What you could try is 2 - 1 on each side with the gallery links/thumbs in between.

But it wasn't a slap at your design skills

OK - I did an example as Mr. Greenie recommended here: http://www.toosxxx4.com/mature-cutie.../main-new.html

I understand that this new version is "simpler" in some ways but still like my previous one, http://www.toosxxx4.com/mature-cutie-variety/main.html, better. Any further thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks again,

To me it is not simpler, but does look better without the skyscraper ad on the middle of the page.

The design is like a smorgasbord with no real predominant link. And that is not a bad thing at all, but I like to draw immediate attention to the sponsor's paysite, especially on the main page. Once they get there, you know you’ve got their attention. I really want to get them to the sponsor at that point.

So I came up with a new variant of the main page here http://www.toosxxx4.com/mature-cutie...ain-new-2.html. Any takers on making a comparison to previous versions or just commenting on this latest version?

Thanks,

OK, so my main-new-2.html got no response and maybe wasn't that good. I think it was too dark on top. I have now put up a main-new-3.html, http://www.toosxxx4.com/mature-cutie...ain-new-3.html, which is a small change from one of the earlier versions, but I think it makes a substantial positive difference in the direction LD recommended. I am still hoping someone will comment helping me, and who knows maybe someone else, build a better freesite in the the future. If not I would probably start submitting with this last one.

Don't worry about that - you posted late Friday & a lot of us slack off on the weekends I actually like 2 better than 3 - it's more symmetrical.

One thing I did notice, the thumbs don't match the girls in the galleries.

OK - I'll try submitting with 2 then.

The girls on the index page, the main page, and the galleries are all a bit different. I don't have any photos of the girls in the galleries, beyond those used there, that would work on the other pages. I certainly couldn't come up with photos of the gallery girls for the index page that could keep the warning page PG-21/25/whatever. So for the main page, I had a choice between reusing a photo from the gallery or using another photo for the gallery category that I thought was interesting. Would anyone want to argue that boring but more honest looking would be better or have some other good suggestion?

Thanks again to all for looking,
