*** 2010 Tour Concept ***

[FTVGirls_Rob]

I've been working on the 'new tour', mostly putting in fresh faces etc...

What you see below is just 'concept', not finished in any way. Just wanted feedback on the faces/design of what I've been considering.

First picture for the index page:



or visit the concept index page: http://www.ftvgirls.com/index2010.htm


then taking the original image of the index picture, I transfer it to the models tour page:


where the latest update coverpage would be embedded into the actual tour picture instead....

http://www.ftvgirls.com/models2010.html


SO any opinions on this? I'm still undecided, and I may just keep the original tour as is...

[Dilbert49]

I like the looks of the new ones!

[CK1]

Love the new layout. love the idea of the latest cover on the second page. its very clean looking and the pictures blend well together. thumbs up.

[Anoree]

I like the new entry page. It looks fresh and there's definitely more action in it than in the old one.
You see the girls smiling as they enjoy what they are doing - something we all grew to love in your work.

The changing latest update coverpage is a nice idea, too. I hope you don't have to change it everytime by hand.

[OC Bob]

I think for the opening page.... you have to go with the "Face" over everything else....

The choices are obvious....

Miss "D" ( or course.... )

Courtney
Taylor
and
Zeba

These girls are "FTV" in my opinion.

[Internetvidz]

Nice work Rob, as an on and off member (am currently!) but loyal visitor since 2004, I really think it freshens up the look and keeps your site looking innovative and attractive to potential members.

Afterall, the tour is about marketing. Those who have liked the existing have joined. A fresh look will possibly show those that have visited and not joined, a new look that just might bring them on board!

[grande351]

I really like the index page, Rob. All three girls are very cute and I love how you've positioned the FTV letters so they just cover Taylor's nipples.

On the tour page, you might want to make the current update a little larger and I'm not sure why you'd want that crazy Risi Simms on there, although I admit, it's a very sexy photo.

[Just Me]

Send me the raw files of this and i will tighten them up.

http://www.ftvgirls.com/index2010.htm

It looks great!

It needs to be fixed in some places, i will fix it all in about an hour....

[kpmacker]

The changes are great, the current index and models/tour page girls are quite a ways back in the archives, so something more current on both pages, along with the latest update feature is a positive change for sure.

[enigma2]

I love the new look it's clean and fresh, just what FTVGirls needs for the new decade

[FTVGirls_Rob]

ok... I took the plunge... its up on the index -- still not satisfied though... somehow I like the original green girls.

[Raymond]

I like this one a lot. It just takes time to get used to change. But I would change the yellow "Rated X Adult" icon to the dark green so it's more visable.

[Raymond]

Also, you need to update the copyright from "2002-2008" to "2002-2010"

[Jeffrey99]

My 2 cents: I'd lose the "Rated X Adult". Think it just sounds goofy. You already have the warning at the bottom about it being a adult site.

Change the HD 8.0. What happened to the previous 7? Makes more sense to list it as "8000 kbps 1440x1080 HD" In my honest opinion, when I see a website with something like HD 8.0, I feel they are just trying to sell me a gimmick that doesn't exist or isn't any different from any other site in HD.

[captnjack]

I like the new look.

[FTVGirls_Rob]

putting the text in the empty spaces has been a bitch... just not feeling them being right. Even the model names, do they need to be there?

Originally those 3 pics were supposed to go to the models page instead, with this sort of idea:



I feel like if I think on it too much it only gets worse lol

[Natal]

Ya, I think that is too fussy, the pictures don't mesh well. The concepts in the OP are better IMO (allthough maybe more recent girls would be better). The backdrop of the old splash screen with Larysa as the main attraction merging into the pic with Summer and Yana I think is the sort of thing you should be aiming for.

And btw, for what it's worth, the picture of Risi and Renna was a great one, I liked it a lot. I didn't care much for either model herself, but that photograph was cool.

[Jeffrey99]

I like the last one much better. I say no to the names. I don't really think they are needed. The only thing I could see changing would be putting the "Seeing is Believing" in black to match the rest of the text.

[615]

I don't think the girl in the middle (Taylor) is front page worthy. Or maybe it's just that particular photo of her that I don't like as she is cute. Just my 2 cents.

[FTVGirls_Rob]

I've been weary of the Taylor center pic... I almost want to put an alison one in there instead.

I guess in the end it will show in the 'conversions'.

[ChorniyVolk]

I don't think you need to change anything, I thought the site was perfect just the way it was, though a way to list your models by name/date/etc in a clean format/on a different page would definitely add to it, right there for new people so they can see what kind of amazing talent you've gotten before they join or even find their favorite girls.

As far as the changes, if you really insist on changing the site then I'll say the model tour page looks good, the model cover page for the latest update could be a bit bigger (or you'll have to restrict your choices of cover pages to ones where you can see the face clearly lest people don't get a good look of the latest girl, but you shouldn't dig yourself into that hole), but otherwise it looks good.

The Index page though I can't say I like at all. Denise's background and Melina's don't match all that well and it ruins it, not to mention that on Denise's side there's a lot of wasted space that could've been used for a 4th model instead.

I don't know about which models should represent FTV on that index page either. Melina is great, no doubt about it, but Denise and Taylor, while gorgeous girls, don't really scream "FTV" to me like Melina does. You should do a poll, pick a handful of girls you want to stick on the banner, make sure the pics of them you want to use are all compatible (backgrounds, color, etc.) and then have the members vote, not on who they like the best but which girls should represent FTV. They vote, you pick 2-3 (to add to Melina, gotta have her!) and make the index page out of them.

Or not, either way the site will continue to be the best softcore porn site on the internet.

I think those three give a good cross-section of the content, with Melina being the "classy" one (hate that word though since using it is anything but), Taylor the soft bossomy type and Denise the schoolgirl/teen variety. The only type not shown is the "bad girl", but it is sort of understandable that Rob might not want to have one of those on the splash screen.

If Rob wanted to add the bad girl type, he could throw up one of the various girls that went on to do porn or was doing porn when shot for FTV. But then again, guess that kinda ruins the "First Time Video" thing. LOL

[FTVGirls_Rob]

melina's update goes online tonight, along with it the new tour. there's a lot of room for tweaking it over time, but the new models page seems tame looking next to the old one, though maybe more 'classy & clean'.

If anyone has suggestions of photos that could replace any image in the index page, please go ahead and share. Of course, the years-end vote kicks in tonight as well, that may have influence on the selection

[grande351]

Ummm...Rob, You could .....ya know.....use a photo of Danielle on the index page

[FTVGirls_Rob]

I think I'm finally done with the index -- I'm quite satisfied with this

[YetAnotherDave]

Rob, is there any way you could move the FTV logo to the left to reveal Taylor's nipples, the vertical bars almost seem like a censoring tool. Also do more people know film as HD 8.0 or 720P ? I for one had to look up the definition as I hadn't heard of it, although I knew what you meant because I could work it out as I'm a member.

[Max]

Where's everyone's alltime favorite Alison Angel? Danielle is missing too, but at least Taylor is there. I guess Rob wanted to do some of the newer girls.

[Jeffrey99]

IMHO the last one is the one I like the least. The geniune/beautiful/natural looks weird as it's offset and not in center of the actual banner. The whole FTVgirlsXXX name I think is overboard. Don't really think you need the FTVGirls there in front of the name if you want the name. The whole HD 8.0 gimmick is back. Think it'd come off as less gimmicky if it was labeled as 8000kbps HD or even 1440x1080HD. Honestly if I visited a site I knew nothing about and saw 8.0HD, I'd just roll my eyes and move along.

[randypalooza]

I like the original one, if you could just move FTV to show off Taylor's great tis. And if you want to add a 4th pic in their, you should look at a pic of Victoria. Having those girls on their will cause everyone to click to enter! Great job Rob!

[CK1]

i like it. i think is shows the variety that FTV has. the only thing that could make it better... um, a free lifetime membership.... um, didn't work?... well, okay, then i think its perfect.

[FTVGirls_Rob]

with exception of taylor, I wanted EXCLUSIVE ftv girls on the front index page.

[Anoree]

I like Taylor's nips being covered by the FTV logo. It adds a little suspense and makes you want to look whats hidden.

I also like to have the names of the models somewhere, so I can search for them after joining (or maybe even on the model index) and see what's been advertised.

Personally, I'd add a little sentence somewhere that the older content (perhaps with a date?) isn't necessarily HD content, so nobody things he got fooled when he stumbles into the old updates. But that's just me being paranoid.

I think the new pages are pretty much perfect.

(Just my two cent)

[100% AGAVE]

My 2 cents. The original cover had/has every warm colors. The new composition seems to have cooler colors, anyway to warm it up a bit? I also am not sure if Taylor is cover worthy. Guess I like the latest version best. Maybe add "Real Orgasms" to the text. That is why I like your site. It is worth pointing that out IMO.

Actually the 3 words at the top look good as is. Nice rythem (sp), may be difficult to add the real orgasms part.

[Dilbert49]

I like this one. I like the idea of having the girls' names on the screen as I have joined sites before and spent a lot of time looking for someone who I saw on their tour page. I would make the names a bit more visible (black) since mose people would never see the names. If I did notice the names having them all low or all high might be better.

A couple of comments on others' comments: I don't think Alison should be on here since she is no longer active. While I know that there's no guarantee of any of these four making new updates at least that is still (as far as I know) a possibility.

The three words across the top can be spaced and a 4th word added (whether something along the lines of "Real Orgasm" or not) and still be balanced.

I suspect I'm like most people and don't know "HD 8.0" from "Hawaii 5-0" so I don't see that as anything major.

Finally, I do like CK1's idea about the free lifetime membership, but not just fior him!

[ChorniyVolk]

Meh, I still don't like it, it just doesn't represent the quality that you put into the site Rob, it's uneven and weird looking to me.

If you want FTV-exclusive girls, then I still say you do a poll, only you post the girls you like, that have pictures that can fit together, AND that are exclusive to FTV. I can't imagine the list being short.

The one thing I will say is that both Melina and Anne are great for the index page, they're like complete opposite sides of beauty and it works well. I love that the contrast, extends beyond just their looks and their outfits are opposite as well (girly clothes and heels vs sports apparel and sneakers).

But Taylor and Denise kind of ruin that effect.

[rlf01]

Holy Shit! Talk about tedious! The only thing I see wrong in the final edit is Taylor. Well, not really her. Just that you have three words, and four models.
If you're going to put her in, do a 25% panel with her. Then lower and stretch the FTV logo. And lose the HD 8.0. And the old school "film reel". Other than that, spot on.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!

So I registered just to give my .02

I'm glad you took out the two video sample links that were on one of your early ideas (redundant). Also I'm glad you changed to the "Recent Favorite" concept like from the members page. I was going to complain that the "Latest Update" concept was awful (also redundant)!

The only thing I see that should also be removed is the "HD VIDEO SAMPLE" arrow pointing to the "Recent Favorite" link.

Keep up the good work. You are AWSOME and the site is an EXCELLENT example of "not wasting your talent in life"!

Happy 2010

[captnjack]

I normally click right on by the FTV Girls main page without a second glimpse but with the recent changes I have been taking a closer look. However I never really noticed the bottom statement regarding the site contains nudity and if you wish to prevent the transfer click here (paraphrased). This usually links to a search engine like google. I was surprise and curious when the link was to youtube! I know we have seen the vid before but it was worth watching a couple more times. COOL

[DJango]

just one more cosmetic thing I see...I don't see Taylor's, Renna's, or Risi's names.

[Satir]

I think running girl is unnecessary here

[clarkstar]

i agree, the runnign girl doesnt fit. keep taylor small but show those nips and youve got a winnar!

[Anoree]

I think Anne does fit into the frame. She represents the sporty girls and shoots. I imagine quite a good share of members join just because of those.

[CK1]

I like the it the way it is. because it shows the variety of girls FTV offers. the hot model style girl, the athletic girl,the voluptuous girl and the teen.

[teduardo]

Anne definitely belongs on the front page, but there is too hard of a line between the background of her picture and the background of Melina's picture. If you found a way to blend the backgrounds more, I think the design would flow better.

Actually, it's the colors in Melina's background that cause the clash. The blues and greys don't fit with the color scheme of the rest. Maybe you could remove Melina from her background or use a picture with more green/beige tones like the rest. Cause the way it is now, it looks like the 3 on the right are all one cohesive picture, and the left looks like it was tacked on.

Just my opinion, hope it helps.
