They're like the chefs of the adult Internet. No. They're more like the captains of our graphic ships. Wait. Wait. Let me see if I can go full-out cornball. Adult website designers are the clouds in the sky, the
grass on the meadow and the fluttering butterflies that turn your content from porn into something better. How's that? Feeling enough love yet, designers?

"Adult designers know what works for adult, on the web, so you make money. From the color palette to the placement of text and images, adult designers have a knack for decipher exactly what arrangement makes the surfer want more." |
I know I bow before the gods of PhotoShop and Dreamweaver. Technically I can make my own websites and graphics but in reality, I haven't got a clue how to grab the user and fondle his balls with mere layout and decoration. My skill level in design is above-average amateur. Self taught mind you, but frankly, some talents can't be learned. When you come across the work of some of the adult Internet's top designers, you'll understand what I mean about mystical gifts.
What's most important is that adult designers know what works for adult, on the web, so you make money. From the color palette to the placement of text and images, adult designers have a knack for decipher exactly what arrangement makes the surfer want more. The design techniques for porn sites aren't exactly the same as they are for say, a computer parts resource. Porn sites can't be too wordy but they can't be devoid of text. Porn sites have to be visually impressive yet quick and easy to load and navigate.
An adult designer must be able to build a tour if you need a tour and a gallery temple if you need a gallery template. They got to comprehend that you're going to add shopping carts, sign-up forms, rotating banners and other such things. They should be able to provide you with a logo in high-rez format so you can keep using it. Sometimes you'll find designers who specialize in certain things. Other times you'll discover design houses where they can do anything.
The question you should ask yourself is: "Are you ready for a professional adult designer?"
Oh, it sounds like a good idea to fork over a mere $100.00 for a no-fail, guaranteed to convert gallery template. Especially to a newbie. The problem is, if you don't know anything about how TGP/MGP gallery submissions operate, you may have just wasted a hundred bucks. At Cozy Frog we encourage you to at least try to do it yourself, first. That includes designing websites. You never know when you might uncover a genius talent. There are hundreds of thousands of amateur webpages in the history of the adult Internet that have made hundreds of thousands of dollars for the webmasters that designed them. I don't know many professional adult designers that specialize in making sites look homemade. In other words, you hire a professional designer when you mean serious business. Like when you've made a bit of money submitting your handmade sites and now you're ready to expedite your time. Or, when you've moved up to where you feel ready to own and operate a paysite.

I like a vendor that makes it easy to contact them, don't you? Blue Fly Adult posts the IM numbers of its staff right on the ABOUT page. Whether your need a front door or a backend, there's a reason XBIZ nominated them for two years in a row.
