When you look at a providers web site what is it that you are looking for?  What do you like to see on the web site? What would you like to see on there web site? Or What you don't like on providers web sites.
1) Photos?
2) Rates?
3) Their Bio?
4) Links?
5) Graphics?
6) Comment page?

I have seen many web sites.  Lots of graphics, Girls likes and dislikes, Rates, Gift pages, FAQ's.  I'm not a very creative person and I would like some ideas.  I myself have just uploaded an all new everything on my site.  I would like to hear what you gentleman would like to see and how you feel about some sites that you do view. I have seen some very plain sites, Beautiful sites, Creative sites, and some down right WAY TOO MUCH INFO sites.  I would like some input on this and hear your views.

For me it's items 1,2,3 in that order...don't care normally care about 4 or 6 (wish most would forget about them). Item 5 can be a problem when there is so much that makes it slow to load, or when the graphics make viewing difficult...saw one like that today.  Too many to choose from for me to have that much patience.  What some don't have is service area & hours of availabiltiy, whether travel or not, etc.  Review links can also be helpful...but not always (could give a rat's behind about what TBD has to say).  But that's just me...don't have any idea about what the gals have to go through to get what they'd like to have.

Just my opinion...and only because you asked...but I immediately dismiss any providers web page that makes any mention of
"Tips being appreciated" or lists "suggested gifts". (Gifts not being a euphemisms for fee / rates in this case). That is just me mind you, and I have really come to understand that what *I* seek from my encounters doesn't always match up with what other guys are going for (I am looking for a good time, not necessarily just in the bedroom itself, but only a good time, while it seems other guys are trying to buy themselves a girl friend...literally).

When I read anything that alludes to "tips being
appreciated", I find myself wondering what is the point of listing a fee if that fee isn't sufficient to satisfy the provider of the service in question. The last thing I want is to find myself "negotiating" the fee for an illegal activity. Sounds WAY too much like a drug deal gone bad. I don't need the hassle or stress. As a rule, I tip agency girls because I know their take is only a percentage of the stated fee, but I don't tip independents.

In regards to gifts...frankly, I find it insulting. We are conducting BUSINESS...an interesting business I concede...a business rooted in human responses and desires...but business. I buy gifts for my girlfriend...the provider isn't my girlfriend...something I am sure she will remind me of if I forget. I pay a provider for "companionship"...I don't pay my girlfriend for it. When a provider suggests that a client should BOTH pay for her "companionship" AND bring a gift...it sounds to me like she is just gold digging...especially since I am SURE she hasn't forgotten that she ISN'T my girlfriend (is she hoping the client forgets??).

For this same reason, I as a rule never see a provider more than once. (Though I did make an exception once...though it had nothing to do with any "emotional" connection...it was just that the booty was EXACTLY how I like it...the provider in particular provides nothing even close to GFE...and it isn't PSE...she is just low maintenance, low drama, relatively low cost high freak quotient fun). I have seen guys wax poetic about providers and how they fell in love...one guy even admitted in a review to stalking a girl I had seen before as well (she was great but she wasn't ALL THAT...lol). These are guys who have lost perspective...and I think providers who post "suggested gifts" on their web pages count on such suckers...

Just my two cents....


BTW...to more directly answer your question...rates = very good  photos = very good  Bio = ok, if it is short. Comments = I do not care...you are only gonna list good stuff anyway...I say save the space  Links = Annoying...especially banners..but I know a gal has to get paid. Graphics = I have to admit, the nicer the page, the more likely I am to think of the lady. But nice is NICE....not COMPLICATED. If you can't afford a professional done page (Kym Regal has a very nice one, for example), don't brother with having some geek who knows lots of HTML / Java tricks doing it. The tricks are only annoying...

I agree substantially with the first reply with a couple of comments.  Please post some contact information, what you prefer as a means of contacting and the best time.  A schedule is always nice, shows you check the page and at least look at it from time to time.  Gives you the chance to update details, etc.  I've been to some that have a discussion forum which is a nice touch.  Please don't put up those damn pop up ads either.  They're irritating.  Nothing more disgusting than an old fashioned porn storm.

Speaking only for myself, less is more.  Show me a few photos, tell me your rates, tell me when you're available, tell me how best to contact you and maybe a few written lines that show something of your personality--that's all.  For lack of a better term, sites that have 10 pages with banners, pop-ups, links, etc. seem too "commercial" and make me feel too much like I'm just a "customer".

Importance in order:

Photos
Rates
Bio

Links and comment page are unimportant.
Graphics are no big deal one way or another. If they make a site a little nicer without making it huge, then fine.

But i have to tell you after reading these replies I went back and looked at my site about a dozen times. I guess I have way too many pages, but i think past the Bio, rates and gallery the rest doesn't get looked at very much.

I do however get the occasional e-mail from someone who looked over the site, probably because they were bored, and liked the writings or the Sept. 11th page I put up. My main reason for my friends page is that I know alot of incredible women all over the country and on occasion someone I have seen will check my site and sometimes will find a lady on my page in a different city they would like to see. I cannot tell you how men gents have written to me, telling me they found my link on another site. Banner exchanges work really well in alot of cases.

I have tried very hard to make my site a reflection of me and make it different. I like it and for the most part everyone else does too. But after this thread I think I may edit it down a bit...LOL.

Numbers 1,2,&3 are just fine, I agree with less is more...But please get rid of the links, they drive me nuts, and many times will turn me off a provider..

but it would be nice if the photos were current or not trying to hide things.  Full length photos also help.  Rates are important and contact information is necessary.  A short bio is okay.  

Please don't list yourself as 5'8" and 130 lbs when you are much heavier.  Better just to leave that out of the bio.  Many providers lie about their weight and try tricking camera angles to prevent the hobbyist from seeing what they are paying for.

I could do without all the extra graphics and pop-ups.

These are the things I'm looking for:

Photos
Rates
Bio
Contact and screening info
Touring info

I don't mind gift ideas or FAQs pages. I usually read them if a lady includes them. If there's a links page, I'll look to see if there are any to the sites of her girlfriends. I ignore comment and review pages. I don't like fancy graphics because I have a slow modem.

Despite what others might say, the fact is that most guys care about only two things....pictures and rates.  We really don't care about your likes and dislikes, hobbies, links to other websites etc.  So if you have those two essential components, you're good to go.  Good topic.

Thank you for the great ideas, positive private emails and the not so positive emails on this topic and on my web site. I will fix the the things that were mentioned to me in the emails within the next week.

I like to hear what you all have to say and everything is duly noted.

Thank you,

Ok, everyone agrees PHOTOS are the number one on the list.

now regarding those:

1- Like someone already mentioned, if they are more than a year old..change them or delete them or SAY SO....if you have gaied weight or lost weight say so, at least. ALWAYS date your photos. It shows you are genuine and also shows you update your web site.

2- If you look good and you know it, put up some head to toe shots as well as close ups...smiling won't hurt either...not every LOOK in the camera has to say "come here I want to rip your clothes off"

3. In my experience a provider who does not include a full shot of her stomach and/or thighs and/or backside is one that is NOT comfortable with and how it/they look. Same could go for breasts I guess, but I am not a breast man.

4. Have pics in glamour, swimsuit , exotic wear and everyday clothes. Nude is NOT necessary. But to make sure you show smooth and even skin tone IS.

my 2 cents.

I'm going to respond based on *my* personal experience to say... for a while I had a list of acceptable gifts on my site. I took it off mainly for the reasons you speak of (I actually agree with you), but I'd like you to know the reason I had it in the first place, and the reason probably that lots of other ladies have a list like that on their site.

I never asked for gifts but I got them. Lots of 'em. I still get gifts and hey, lemme be honest... who WOULDN'T like an extra gift!!!!! It's irresistable, we are women after all  That said I do not *expect* them, it's just a nice bonus when it happens. But the reason I put a list of what things were acceptable as gifts is because I was getting lots of things I *didn't* want. Chocolate is a prime example... I'm working on my weight here, the last thing I need is a beautifully wrapped box of chocolate temptation!  I mainly wanted people to stop bringing me FOOD if they wanted to bring me a gift. I appreciate the thought, I love it, it makes me smile, but please lord, not food!  Hehe

As for the tips question, to say "Tips are not required but are appreciated" basically answers a question a lot of gentlemen have. Far too many have had the experience of meeting a lovely lady only to find out midway thru the session that all of the services they crave, require an extra "tip".  (That's not really a tip in my definition.... a tip is a way of showing "Job well done! Thank you!") That's my way of assuring them that they absolutely DO NOT have to tip me unless they CHOOSE to, want to, feel like I deserve it.  Everyone, not just agency girls, appreciates a tip for a job well done... especially if I work really really extra hard to show someone a good time, it's nice to know that my extra effort above and beyond the call of duty was noted and appreciated.  Appreciating a tip *if you choose to give it* is not our way (at least, not my way) of saying that our fee is not satisfactory... but that if you feel like doing it, it is welcome.

Anyways, one perspective from a provider to mull over!  There are usually pretty valid reasons for anything you see on a page being there... you never know until you ask
