Site Review - May 11

[Dzinerbear]

This week's site up for review is: http://www.greenpoolstudios.com

The owner has requested I add the following: "This is a model recruitment website. So the people who'll be visiting this site may have just read an ad in the paper or gotten a biz card for 'nude male models wanted for photo/video work.' My main concern is to see if all the information is there for these guys who're coming to the site. Thanks!!"

If you would like your site reviewed, we do a new one every week. PM me and I'll add you to the schedule.

I like it

The site is nice and clean looking and everything seems to be there that a potential model would want to know, the only thing that i would change, is a little of the wording, symmetrical for example, hell, even i had to look that one up LOL

What's a vidoe shoot?

Definately a nice site to go thru.

That being said I had a bit of a problem with the white text on the gray background... and the eyes aren't that tired yet. Also the links showed up as a sort of light pinkish purple which was really hard for me to distinguish on the page... too light in my mind.

Also the sample pics are nice, but you might want to consider making them link to a full size image for better detail... more of an enhancement than anything and not really necessary but worth considering.

One thing I noticed that was missing, or not, was a link for potential buyers of your material... unless it was in the 'contact us' section which I didn't go to. But it might be an idea to add or have something for content providers/webmasters as well... if that is part of the biz model. Just a thought anyhow.

On the whole I liked it. Nice site.

and as usual, merely my opinion.

...it's supposed to be "video shoot." I'll change that immediately!

Thanks everyone!

Hey Lee. Do you guys think that i should go into detail about the work involved? Many of the guys that phone in after going to the website, are very unclear about what's involved. But then again, if i did mention that the work is "solo shoots working up to full-on gay porn" i'm sure many of the guys would leave immediately.

[GPallan]

one more thing...

How's the "flow" of the site? did you guys feel the need to click on "about us"? or did you just find yourself going immediately to "requirements" and then "apply online"?

I'm hoping that these guys are actually reading the section "about us" to better familiarize themselves with the company so that they'd feel more comfortable applying. hmmmm

[Dzinerbear]

I'm a cynical guy, so your about us page would be better if you told me how long you've been doing this. Can you show me some of your work online? I'd like to know you're not bullshitting me? And I'd like to know am I doing tasteful Playgirl type poses or is my butt hole going to be stretch from here to kingdom come?

You might want to explain a little bit about the process. It would make me feel better to know in advance what I'm going to have to do. Again, I'm cynical, I'm thinking I probably have to suck some fat guy's cock to get the job.

Do you get a lot of e-mail from people wanting to buy content? I saw your site a couple of weeks back and almost e-mailed you. If you don't, saying so on the site could save you some e-mail time.

Nice site.

some great input...thanks!! EXACTLY what i was looking for
I love cynical guys, actually! hehe They say it as they see it. Great honest advice.

I'll be looking into updating the "about us" page in the next few.

And no, i've never got any emails from individuals wanting to buy content. We're not looking to distribute our content anyway. I do get a few calls/emails inquiring about other types of employment (ie. graphic design, video editing, talent scouting, etc.), so we're going to add another section to the site for that purpose.

Allan,

Id mention WHAT would be expected of the talent but not what they will actually be doing (does that make sense?).

Tell them they will have to get naked and leave it at that in effect.

The way i see it, if a guy is expecting to be paid $100 for an hours shoot of solo j/o stuff and, he ends up doing an hours worth of non-nude stuff he may expect the same $100.

Just a thought

Sometimes being 'vague' in your descriptions is definately a good thing

yeah, i know what you mean about being "vague." Sometimes it helps to go over the porn aspect of things in person after we've met. Thanks

[GPallan]

what are your thoughts on the application form? too lengthy? too complicated? how about the "photo submitter" feature, is it pretty straight forward?

Thanks guys

[Dzinerbear]

Just wanted to bump this to see if anyone else has anything other feedback.

Also, I have no one slated for next Wednesday's review spot. If you'd like to PM me I can schedule your site in.

Cheers
