Just wondering how you folks handled your 'non adult' design stuff for sites like programming, hosting, design, etc etc.

Do 'mainstream' sites need to have as big of an impact to our potential mainstream clients that webmaster orientated sites in the 'adult' industry need?

What i mean by that is, do 'flashy' sites with all the bells + whistle stuff actually work in mainstream? Flash animations for affiliate program etc etc or should we stick to the basics, mostly html layouts with a few .jpgs thrown on the page for good effect?

Your thoughts? I know a few of you guys have mainstream business already established and i was hoping to get some choice hints and tips from any of you who were willing to give them out from the first line of attracting clients... our site.

We're in the process over overhauling webmasterconsultants.com to attract a larger non-adult client base.

I've done designs for a few local companies here in the cold cold north of England and found any design I was totally happy with was 'more' than they were expecting, so they ended up being the bog standard pages with pics and the usuall bullshit write-up...

Yeah but thats Yorkshire for you LOL

Seriously though, thats what im thinking right now too, basic looking site just html text with a couple of images thrown on the page to make it look balanced.

On the other hand, our pricing may require a more 'advanced' design.

Thats what im more concerned about to be honest, proving that we have the capability to do high end workmanship at a highend price LOL

Actually i used to holiday up in Newcastle every couple of years with a couple of guys i met on holiday in the Canary Isles when i was 18... fun times

I loved going when they had the fairground thing going on at that huge patch of grass before you hit Newcastle proper. They had a great greyhound track near there to from what i recall

mainstream cares about functionality, adult cares about bells and whistles

Whooa there a second! England don't end at Yorkshire... it goes all the way up to Newcastle and you'll find me there
Does that make you a Pict? :P

This topic probably would worked better on a mainstream board, (ahem, cough, spew) ... but since it's brought up here ... Mainstream is just weird. Lots of sites are super professional. .... But then you have that weird shit where a lot of sites are a single page of almost all text that goes on (and on and on) for what seems like 200 screens down. Still hsbr no idea what the hell that crap is all about!
