Greetings all

I’m currently building a website for a client of mine. It’s my *first* website for this field and I will need the 411 on it and, as well, the lingo terms generally used. (such as GFE, etc….)

I pretty much have all the material i need, but i would like to target my audience more closely.

Here’s a couple of questions for you all…when you visit an escort website…what kind of information is a *must have* and what are you generally looking for on your first visit? Outcalls/Incalls only, Rates, Contacts, schedules?


Thank you,
Cheers!
 
I like to have lists of extras and where to get bbbjs are a must
 
hmm lets see to start 411 isn't in the lingo.
pictures are good but a short introductory video would be really cool... not many sites have that. if you made the site with flash it would look slick.
 
Flash sites suck. Annoying to load unless you have highspeed, and even then it's annoying. The video idea is great, but I don't want to wait for it to load just for some graphics. Just my opinion.
 
keep it simple, elegant, and to the point. No flash, no sound, and no stupid little gimmicks or cursor tricks. Remember who your target audience is. A guy should be able to click onto the site, get the info, and click off without everyone in his home/office/whatever turning their heads to see where the bad electronica music is coming from.

I must agree with the cursor and the sound, though flash isn't that bad, I've seen some nice flash sites, but then again it could be something done without. I still think the video thing should stay :)
 
VERY IMPORTANT:
Either NO flash or some way to get at the links written in standard HTML.
There is nothing dumber than a site with all the links totally invisible to the non-Flash user.
And the non-flash version will be much faster for us poor suckers (or maybe hotel users) on dialup.
Video would also make it way to slow for dialup users.
 
I don't see how video would slow up slow users.... it would be something you could download on the site. if your not fast then don't download it
 
In no particular order ...

- If incalls are an option, tell us where (approximately) the incall is.
- Hours available. If a real calendar is there, keep it up to date! Otherwise just tell us M - F from 2 - 10 or something like that.
- Rates should be posted clearly.
- Contact info including a phone number. I personally don't like to email initially.
- Pics are good, but put them on a separate page somewhere because ...
- ... the site should work on a dial up. Nothing more annoying than being in a hotel on business and finding a site that takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to load up.
- No music. Even when I'm at home alone I don't like music on sites.
- Make it readable! Don't put blue text on a black background. Use normal colours so people can read the text.

Fine, if the site designer gives you a choice. :)
 
There a lot of excellent suggestions already here and here is another:
Test it on dialup with an empty cache!
You won't believe how many site designers think that instantaneous load they just got from their hard disk is an indication of what a real user gets.
 
Once you have your site up and running, test it on a dial-up connection. You be the judge if it loads fast enough. Not everyone can get dsl or cable.
