Question
Have a couple questions about adult film website design:  who can you get to do it?  do a lot of adult film websites follow the same design? are the designers then also in charge of traffic flow and the like?

Answer
Hi Mark,

Q: who can you get to do it?  

A: Any one of a hundred or so web design companies around the country who specialize in adult sites can help. They all have websites.

Q: do a lot of adult film websites follow the same design?

A: No, or at least they shouldn’t. Nothing screams “garbage” more than one of those stupid cookie cuter websites. It’s a competitive market and looking like everyone else will not make you stand out.

Q: are the designers then also in charge of traffic flow and the like?

A: No. Designers design and they are done, at least until you need to make updates to the site or add new features. Marketing and management will be up to the site owner.

If you are thinking of developing a site plan on making a sizable investment. Design and hosting fees for adult sites are very expensive when compared to ordinary sites. DO NOT be fooled into doing business with one of those “full service, we take care of everything and just write you a check each month” outfits. They are serious rip-off gimmicks.

Also don’t forget to research the legal pitfalls involved in an adult business. Adult content web sites are bound by the same Federal Laws as the Adult Film industry.
