I've got a new website

[SteveEscort]

Wasn't sure where to announce it in here

 

Still a few things to add to it, like buttons on the side nav bar and some new pictures in a few weeks time

 

I also have a dedicated mobile version of the site which works well

 

Check it out

Hi Steve,

 

I've had a quick look and it seems pretty logical, inclusive, and easy to navigate.

 

2 quick comments:

 

I find the small font on the colored, textured background a bit difficult to read. I'd consider bumping up the font size or finding some color combination that a bit easier to make out.

 

The whole site seems a bit unexciting to me (no offense). If you put a small photo on each page, it might liven it up a bit. Mst of the page have a fair amount of unused space along the bottom. or you could put something at the bottom of your side nav bar.

 

Just some suggestions for improvement. Cheers.

Steve - I agree with seeker about the small print. Just a tad bigger would be nice. Really liked the tweets. Shows your good sense of humor and horniness!! Hope you and your kitties are doing well. Always good to see you posting.

Hi

 

I steered away from putting loads of pics etc on each page. Yes it may look a but unexciting but it was more designed to be informative than colourful. My last site had a pic on each page. I replaced this with the twitter feed as 25% of my work these days with new clients comes from my twitter presence

 

I will have a play on a new page tomorrow and privately send you the link with a bigger font and see what you think

 

The site gone down well in England. Everyone liked it. I had 903 hits in the first 48 hours

The twitter feed was always a must. It's a huge resource for gay escorts. It was always going to be a major feature. Lots and lots of visiting businessmen find me on their phones by hash tagging #gay #escort #newcastle The twitter feed was always my next development and it fits in well with the site

I like the clean, to-the-point look of the website....some sites are too full of gee-whiz graphics and silly features....

[SteveEscort]

Thank you. That was the general idea of the overhaul. It needed to be simplistic with less gifs and more info

Steve,

 

I understand about not cluttering it up too much, and I agree whole-heartedly that the most important goal is to provide necessary information. I really dislike sites that overload you with graphics & flash. I just thought it would be nice if all the pages didn't look exactly the same.

 

And I confess, I didn't pay much attention to the Twitter feed because I'm a minimal user/follower of it. By no means do I tout myself as typical browser.

Maybe you need to. Over here in England, Twitter is now the number 1 resource tool for sex workers. It's gone mad in the last 12 months. As I said about 25%of new guys i meet have been reading or following my twitter feed and when you type in a local search on google for an escort in area, my twitter feed comes in the top10 of results. I am usually number 1 or 2 for my site, but the tweets get noticed.

This is partly because the site has an integrated mobile/cell phone feed which simplifies the site for android and iPhones. On those sites the menu bar is dropped in favour of a phone style menu bar but pics on each page then make the pages hard to load, see what i mean by checking it on a mobile phone.

 

Mobile phone use will outweigh laptops in the very near future. I need to move with the times

But someone would have to know about you in the first place to look you up on Twitter, correct? I assume they can't just browse Twitter for escorts. By the way, your site looks good, easy to open and navigate.

[SteveEscort]

Yes you can search without knowing the person. You just use the # Discover putting and use # before a search word to find what you want #newcastle #escort will find male and female escorts in my area, add #will usually only find me and a few other gay escorts.

 

Plus searching on google for gay Newcastle escort will usually bring up twitter feeds that regularly use those keywords, like mine

I've made the font bigger on each page, hopefully it will be clearer to read

Very interesting. I think I'll start a separate topic, so as not to hijack this thread.

Yep!
