1) No matter how you may tweak your website, it is useless if you choose not to include your rates.  You are a professional companion and you ask for compensation for your time.  Why force potential clients to guess what that compensation is?

2) A well done website, which demonstrates considerable time and thought has gone into it, is always most appreciated.  Tell us about yourself, what you desire in clients, and what we can expect from spending time with you.  And photos.  Lots of photos.

Cheers.

I am having my website remade. What important attributes other than pictures
do you gentlemen look for to start ? I am considering  deleting some content
and adding some new . Rates information isn't something I want on my site.
Any new ideas guys?

Actually rates should be listed on your website. Of course it is your site and you are free to do what you want but you are asking for opinions. In my opinion, most men will look at 1) pictures, 2) rates
Sure you can say "contact me" for rates, but a lot of guys won't even go there.

There has been a lot of information on this board on websites. You could search back and look at some of the other discussions. The following is my opinion on what is required on a good provider website:

1. Your name
2. Your home location or cities you are touring in. (Yes I have seen some websites with pictures, rates, and all kinds of information but no clue where in the country or the world the lady is located. WTF?)
3. A little about yourself and your service (without getting explicit of course)
4. Good pictures. They can be clothed or nude or both. they don't need to be explicit. they don't need to be taken by a professional. Digital cameras nowdays can take very good pics. But they should be clear, and represent who you are. The person who eventually shows up at the date should look like the pictures. The pictures should be big. Not huge, but big enough to see clearly. I have seen websites with thumbnail pics that when you click on them they grow to about 1.5 thumbnail size. lol) Faces can be blurred, or pics taken in a way where the face is hidden, but there should sill be a pretty good idea of what you will look like. tattoos can be airbrushed out, but it should be mentioned that you have tattoos if that is done. Other than that, no excessive airbrushing or photoshopping.
5. Rates
6. Link to reviews
7. Screening information
8. Contact information
9. TER hyperlink on your home page if you are gong to advertise and post here.
Anything else (blogs, gift pages, other information) is extra, and some guys will read it and some guys won't. Many guys will only look at pics, rates, reviews.

A faq / etiquette section is helpful. But believe it or not I do like a blog section. Especially if it contains erotic stories or adventures you may have had or want to have. For us older gents anything that tells us something about you. What you like and what you like to do. The blog gives us an insight as to who you are. Your idea of the perfect session?
A calender is also very nice so we can pounce when you are near particularly if you travel!

All it takes is one little thing to spark an interest. I know of one lady who likes grey goose and daty, she is on my TDL for a great time! LOL

The reason I have always left that out, is because it helps me
learn who is a VIP and able to read an entire review because it
is listed in there. I always felt that sense of "security " . I will reconsider
adding that and I thank you for your feedback.  What on my website
do you think is ok to not list in the menu?

Thanks
Angela

The probelm with getting the rates of the TER profile is that they are not always up to date there. The profile is set by the first reviewer, and unless someone updates the profile with a problem report, the rates, (as well as everything else in the profiel) could be outdated. The provider can submit a problem report herself, or other people can submit a problem report but it is not alwasy done. I have seen rates in the profile that is way off from the rates on ads or the website.

I know I have seen that myself . I have updated my rates but
not thought about multiple hour rate listing and I will be
revising that once my site is complete. The age listing in the TER profile
however has always only gone up to 45 or over 45 I wish it had a
choice between 45-50 - 50-55 etc

Yes, it's true on the age thing. By only having "over 45," that is a big range. Does that mean she is 46? or 70? lol. There have been a lot of posts here on age too, and how inaccurate the age is on the profile for many providers. I personally think they should just put it in by decades, instead of 5 years, except for the young group. For example: 18-20, 21-25, 26-30, then 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s. I mean if the pictures are good, and are representative of the lady, then guys will make a choice based on pictures. Is there that much difference between 33 and 37 years old?

That is why I have always listed my REAL AGE on my website .
It wards off the people who seek that age .

I agree with you on the faq section, and the blog. The faq section does provide helpful information if it is done right, and I will look at those. I read blogs if they are interesting, but these are not necessities. And a lot of guys won't look at these things. I think once a lady covers the main points (as in my first reply to the op) the rest is extra, and can be a nice addition, depending how big or fancy they want to get with the website.

As for calandars, they are only good if the ladies keep them updated. I see way too many website calendars that have not been updated for months or even years.

yea...it's 4 years!

And I didn't need to use my fingers to figure that one out!

Sorry...please carry on

Don't password protect your photos.
When i want to look at your photos, i want to do so now.
Not really a BIG deal, but just that extra step of having to obtain a password, will make me move on to another lady. ( sometimes )
If you feel it is important to your privacy, then i certainly understand.
Also, good quality photos are a must with me, the more, the better!

A lot of guys will also say no music and no flash on the website. Many guys browse these sites at places they shouldn't be  At work, at home with the so and kids nearby, etc. Clicking on a site and getting unexpected music, could draw unneassary attention. Lots of guys don't like flash, because it takes long to load sometimes. Another thing is if you can make it mobile friendly since so many people now surf the web on smart phones instead of regular computers. Just  more food for thought. good luck on your redesign.

creativity and look at a provider's website as an extension of her personality, truth is there are only 3 things I look for and care about:

- photos
- rates
- calendar (if she's a touring lady)

All other content is nice but not needed.

Please do not be offended by my suggestions. You asked a question, and this is just my opinion. Some ladies do have "filthy" videos in their website.

Any video of any kind would be nice. You can have a video that introduce yourself, a video that showcase your body, a video that shows you using your toys and get nasty, something of that nature.

These are only my suggestions, and you do not have to accept them. As for me, a lady that have a video that introduce themselves always help with my expectations of her. A nasty video would only be a bonus.

I also like filthy pictures too Please do not be offended by my comments because I am only giving my suggestions for what I think is ideal and promotes eagerness. Thanks!

I was about to write up something but your response exactly mirrors what I look for in a web site, including the order of importance...

I would note if you are going to have a touring calendar make sure it's easy to keep current, when you see an ad for someone saying they are touring but then cannot see the dates on their web site that is confusing.

Hi McDonald000,

I am not at all offended by your suggestion. And your opinion is appreciated as
this post can also help other providers see what people want in websites  also.
However, "filthy" videos and pictures are out of my element and not who I am,
what I stand for, or represent. I probably would make  something
a little lusty and left for the imagination or mystery.Mini videos are a nice idea
and when done with class can attract the right kind of guy .

Thank you so much for your feedback.

Now I would like to ask about this topic. I have heard
that some have deleted the calendar to avoid having
any run in's if you catch my drift. If I have a members area
so that you can get mail when I visit, and I can have your
location would that be something to replace a calendar to ensure
additional discretion ?

Oh thank you!
I read the above post it is funny . Reminds me of a comedy commercial for
a Saturday Night Live episode LMAO!

Lady, you know I dig you....

I got one suggestion, to start. Get a good photog. And not that douche that a lot of the other ladies like to use for some reason. PM me and I'll tell you who cuz I said his name before and got my hand slapped, lol!

Rates are a must. A little teaser video would be cool, but not necessary. Of course a travel deal. The usual 'about me' and 'respect' thing. Just be you and what you expect out of the date.

I'm glad you're getting away from the cookie-cutter thing. It doesn't suit you!

... the fact that you are willing to travel for early morning Jacuzzi parties.

can you elaborate why you don't want a calendar?  What kind of run in are you trying to avoid?

I ask only because I spend a lot of time keeping my calendar on my site up to date, and I'm wondering if I'm missing something....?

I posted about this a year or more ago.  It always surprises me how many providers websites don't say where they are based out of.  I check out providers of posters here all the time and if they don't put where they are, I don't know if it's a city I visit or not.  Meaning their personal websites.

Good photographer is at the top of my list of help to seek indeed. I got this glowing recommendation
from a local agency person and I wasted money on this jerk. He emailed me for I don't know ,  year?
After my shoot at dinner I flat out told him, you know, I can't use these pics they aren't really what I
am looking for . His promised reshoot never happened . Since then I have had other recommendations
and am interviewing now.

Rates being a must well so far it's looking like I have to do something I feel uncomfortable about.
Sending you a PM now...
Angela
