that I needed one so a client made my initial website.

I would've been fine without one BUT now that I have one, I won't go back to being without one.

I love my site, its fun and flirty. Most times, I enjoy updating it. Helps keep me connected to my
business thus my clients.

Can't wait to hear the responses one way or the other..

Happy almost Memorial Day week-end friends!

In my case, my website is really helpful; it explains clearly and accurately what my clients can expect from me and my services.  Because it's attached to my blog, clients also have the opportunity to feel a bit more connected to me through that.   Clients often remark how well my website reflects me, and how easy to navigate/read/etc it is.  A lot of clients feel more comfortable with me after going through my site.

I find that clients think i'm more legit with a website, and I honestly can't blame them.  While I did okay prior to having a website, my website acts like an anchor for my online presence.  It gives people a place to go and find out more.  

And really, this is a business; a website should be a reflection of you, and therefore it should be super personal (that being said, I don't think your website does the best job of reflecting your personality; perhaps if you re-vamped your site to more reflect you?).  You're a whole-package kinda gal; you're hot, you're sexy.  But you're also a really bright, vivacious personality; you're raw, intelligent, and real.  I think that's a big part of your draw.  

I don't think you should get rid of it.

Not just appealing...necessary

No website, no appt. BP is not an option for me. I want to see photos (yours are great BTW and you're pretty as hell), rates, and rules (in that order).

Plus it allows you to showcase all your photos and provide written content so gentlemen can get a "vibe" about your personality. Yes, some websites are cold, impersonal, business like or very plain. Making it customized and user friendly is the key to attract the right inquiries.

...... can't really remember what it's like to not have one.  

I feel if someone has a website (that they tend too every now and then) that they seem a little more solid/active and somehow not hard to find. *shrugs*

Early on in the hobby, I, too, felt the website impacted my fantasy that I was somehow the "only one."  Obviously, you spend enough time in the hobby, and you just mature to a different self agreeance.

On the flip side I can promise you this.  The ladies who do spend time on a website - especially those not working with the run of the mill sites - are nearly 100% reliable and better providers.  I have found that new providers (those without websites) are not the best GFE, because they are nervous and inexperienced.    You spend way too much time and money on those types with few being GFE.  It's not even that they don't want to be GFE.  They just haven't reconciled how yet in their craft.  That's why TER is so beneficial for those who do not have a website.  

I would say it's pretty tough to find a girl with good reviews from two years ago who is still around that does not have a website.  It's a near 100% correlation between website and performance/reliability.  

If it's a problem, here's what I do.  Copy and paste the pics, phone/sign up and other pertinent data and descriptions you like on the site to a private Word document you keep.  That way you won't keep visiting and can keep them all somewhat consistent.  Think of it as your own little black book.

...although I have visited providers who do not have them, but researched those more carefully first. I've got to say I find the web sites with pop-ups a real turn-off. There's a growing number of them, even with higher rate providers.
