Escort Web Design vs.  Escort Web Designer vs. Webmaster

As an escort web designer first and foremost is experience designing escort and adult websites. YOU are the product that is being marketed; trying to sell a service that is so highly personal is different than trying to sell a product or even a mainstream service. Your escort web designer who, if not skilled at designing sites for escorts, at least should understand the business. It is also to your benefit to make a list of what you’ll expect your website to do for you before you start emailing design companies or asking for estimates.

• Do you need web hosting? A domain name?
• What kind of personality are you trying to project? Fun, flirty, VIP, sexy?
• Who are the clients are you trying to attract?
• Do you want to have your clients contact you through a form?
• Are there specific features that you’d like to have on your site (i.e., Calendar, photo gallery, blog etc)?

Also, make a list of websites that you like, whether for their color, their layout or because they have a specific feature that you would like to have on your own site. If you have a general idea of the kind of site you’re looking for, and you have examples of what you like, it’ll be easier for you find the designer for your escort site.

One good way to find a escort web designer is to ask the owners of sites that you like who does their site. Drop them an email, most people who are happy with their sites and their designer are more than willing to share the information. If you belong to any forums or boards or groups, ask the other members who they might recommend. Many sites have links to their designers on them somewhere as well.

Once you have a list of possibilities, take a look at their portfolios. Animations and overproduced produced graphics don't mean a thing if they overshadow the product… you! If a designer is serious, they’ll have an online, easily accessible portfolio. Do the sites in the portfolio look professional? Do you like the designer’s style? Are their sites fresh and unique, or do they look like a hundred other sites? Can they design a memorable site for you, one that will stand out from all the others?

Ask for, and contact the designer’s references. That is a good indication of what it will be like working with him.

Something else that absolutely MUST be taken into consideration when hiring a escort website designer is their personal view on copyright issues. A web designer is considered “work for hire”, and as long as you have paid him for his work, the site is yours.

Before making a decision, be sure that the designer understands the finer points of designing for the escort industry. It’s important, for safety’s sake as well as for the basic but very necessary issue of anonymity, that a provider’s site be registered so that their identity isn’t easily found. Many providers also prefer that their photos be altered so that they aren’t easily recognizable. Look for a designer that understands and can accomplish these things.

Because websites are as unique as their owners, there is actually no such thing as an average price. Price is something that MUST be determined on a site-by-site basis. As always, buyer beware. You get what you pay for, but sometimes you can get tricked into paying for more than what you really need. Unless you’re looking to set up a paysite, with thousands of pictures, dozens of videos and an extensive private area, a basic 5-7 page site is more than sufficient for the average provider’s advertising needs. Costs range from $100 to $300 per page depending on the web designers level of experience. Remember that you are paying for a designer’s time and expertise, much the same way your client’s pay for your time and experience.

If you intend to update content regularly, ask whether (and how much) the designer charges for that service and how long it takes.
 
Optimizing your website to be found during a search is VERY important. Well, it’s important if you want potential clients to find it anyway. There are companies whose sole purpose is to make sure that a website is optimized for the search engines and dozens of website devoted to the science of search engine optimization. A good designer should not only create a flattering, usable site, they should also make certain that your site can be easily found online by using copy and code that will be picked up by the search engines. Escort websites designed in Flash or use frames can not be indexed by search engines. So, if you want to be found in Google, MSN or Yahoo you need to let your design know that you don’t want your site build in those technologies.

While it may not seem that important, try to find someone that you feel comfortable with. You want to work with someone who does their best to answer your questions and who makes a point of listening to you. Your designer should keep in touch with you on a fairly regular basis during the building of your site. You don’t have to best friends with your designer, but you do want someone who will respond to your phone calls or emails in a timely manner. If you find yourself feeling that you’re being talked down to or taken advantage of, it might be time to get out of the situation.

Bottom line is that you’re looking for a designer that can create a site that reflects you in an attractive, alluring manner, that is easily found by the search engines and does exactly what you want and need it to do.
