A few comments on provider websites . . .

What makes a web site "pop"?  Keep it as simple as you can.  Anything that distracts from the message is boring and time consuming.

Things that make a provider site good are:
- good pictures.  Nothing that has been photoshopped by Michael Scott.  Don't stretch them, keep the resolution web worthy, and make sure they are classy.  There are acceptable ways to hide a providers face, but some are just awful.

- easy navigation
- no broken links
- keep it positive

Here are some things to avoid:

- Music - maybe I don't want anyone in the other room knowing what I am up to at my computer.
- A calendar that is not updated
- unessessary ads - get your own uncluttered web site from godaddy for $4 a month.

Look through this link for good web site advice:

Hope this helps

Pictures - No need to be explicit (I find naked wide open crotch shots to be a turn-off when viewing provider websites), but should have 6 to 10 high quality pics (not necessarily professionally shot, but not grainy camera-phone shots either) that show provider from a number of different angles, so we get a good idea of the body.  Kathi, the photos in your current website are beautiful and well thought out, but do not give the gentlemen a view of your entire body.  Pics should be dated, but I do not need to see folders and folders of pics from several years ago.  In short, we should not be surprised when you answer the door!

Calendar - Use it and update regularly!  I use agencies often, because I can plan to see a particular provider in advance, when they announce their weekly schedule.  With independents, I also like to plan ahead, as much as 2 weeks.

Music - NO, NO, a thousand times NO.

"Canned" free website - I have no problems with that, as long as you spend the time to tailor it to your personality.  Also, make sure the thumbnail pics on the site expand large enough when clicked so that the pic is worthwhile.

Blog - sometimes I get a good idea of a providers' personality through the TER discussion forums; sometimes from her website or blog.  I am not looking for an update every day, or week even.  Just something every so often that lets your personality shine through!

Pertinent information - Do not show a list of what's on the menu.  That is what reviews are for. List your prices for various time periods (I particularly like a modest discount from the hourly rate for appointments longer than an hour).  Let it be known if there are certain gentlemen you would prefer not to see; i.e., age, etc.  And one important item that is missing from many providers' sites is the general location where she is based.  That information should be on an introductory page, as well as the calendar page.

That is all I can think of now.  I know I do not speak for all, but these are the items I look for.

One more thing; make it clear how you want us to make initial contact, phone or email.  Have the phone number and/or email address in an obvious location, perhaps on more than one page.  And note that many guys will not use a website "form", so do not make that your only means of contact.  While you are at it, list some of the screening information you might need, so we can include that right away.

pictures that give me a realistic idea of the real thing, and an easy to read rate structure. That's all I need.

LADIES, PLEASSSSE leave the music off of your site. It doesn't sell you to me!

A few provider friends and I were trying to figure out what makes websites pop so to speak.  Thanks.

Any input would be appreciated.   Or maybe what draws you in, or out? bad pun  ;)  I am not looking for specific websites, examples, just ideas, thanks.

The most important thing on a girls website is her pictures.  A set of great well-done sexy pictures makes me want to know more, and once I want to know more there is a strong possibility that I'll make an appointment.  If you are going to spend money on something spend money on that.  Get a photographer who can take pictures that will make guys drool and has experience taking such pictures.  A good photographer will make you look sexy as opposed to trashy.

I agree with all of Graydon's comments.....nothing is more irritating than looking at a calendar for availability to find that it is out of date......

Good quality pic's.  Those griany shot from a phone really aren't attractive.  I also think a little mystery is always good, but reveal everything leaves nothing to the imagination.  "Victoria's Secret"  isn't secret any more.   ha, ha

All too often I see providers spend lots of money on an elegant and fancy website. These websites are really to impress the other providers because the clients do not care. What guys want to know is the information necessary to determine whether or not to see a lady. This information should let the guy know:
 - accurately what she looks like (description and our pictures)
 - the cost
 - how to contact
- anything else he should know about seeing this lady

and all of the above should be EASY TO FIND. Do not make me figure out the "Desire" is the link for "Photos". Call it friggin Photos for crying out loud!

It's good advice to show off all your curves from different angles, but repeating shots of you in the same bikini is boring and certainly not revealing of your "look."  Personally, I like seeing what the woman's body does for a skirt, a dress, faded old jeans, etc.  Wear something different in each photo.  If you don't want to show your personal wardrobe, borrow stuff.  Cull down to a mere dozen photos for your site.

Well, that's a different version of the standard cliche ;)

I was really happy with the diverse opinions on improving provider websites.  I also found the links to be very pertinent.   I could tell all your responses were all well thought out.  I am working on a new website and will put these creative and valuable opinions to use.  Thanks again.  Kathixoox

Considering the technical disaster of the new TER, I remind you to put yourself in (some of) our shoes. We aren't all Hugh Hefner. We need web pages that load quickly on various less than top notch platforms: cell phones, via proxy servers, software to protect a PC from too much of a trail (cookies, etc.). No music. No flash. Nothing too fancy.

I notice that some girls have two or more versions of their site: deluxe, html only, mobile, etc.
