We will usually need a full proposal detailing your requirements in as much detail as given in the example Adult Website Proposal below:
The following information sets out 1) the basis of my website; 2) the two strategic long-term objectives and purpose of the website 3) thoughts on the issue of “age verification” AND what I am generally looking for in terms of service.
There are millions of adult-websites out there, but if you could tell me one adult-website that is able to provide the following adult-content sorting options:
- Sorting of porn star by age, not name or type of sex video, studio.
- Sorting of porn star by country
- A quick search result showing a 19 year old porn star from country “X”
- Who are the latest nineteen, eighteen or twenty-year old pornstars from country “X” that have just published their first porn scene?
You would struggle to find an adult-website that provides the answer to one, let alone all four of those options above. This simple thought or question is the primary purpose as to why I am driven to invest my own money into the development of an adult-website (the secondary being to provide me with a regular cash flow).
But, since I am starting from humble beginnings, please read my full 4-page proposal and come back to me with your thoughts and suggestions! I welcome any suggestions and feedback, even if we don’t end up working together on this project.
The following document contains a more-detailed description of my requirements than what I was able to email you from the contact form:
A brief description of my required Adult Website:
Along with the previously discussed requirements we need various adult discussion boards or a forum that will allow the following threads:
First Strategic Objective
A) A discussion of the hottest new female entrants to the porn industry.
The purpose of this discussion board will be a one-stop shop for internet-porn newbies and veterans to find out about the latest young porn entrants and where their videos and images can be seen. It is planned that this discussion board will only provide links to affiliate content providers (images and videos), but as the website grows (not initially) and more and more links are added to the database, it is envisaged that there will be a search feature that will enable visitors to select particular countries to 1) find out about the freshest girls on the net from that particular country as well as 2) the relevant link to the affiliate content provider.
Once the website becomes fully operational and more and more links are added to various galleries and more promotional content is obtained from studios, I envisage that my website will have a search feature that will enable website members to search porn stars by year of birth and/or country of origin.
The purpose will be to make it simple for porn-users to select their porn stars by age and country, rather than simply by sexual “niche”, as offered by most adult-content providers. While there are many competitor websites offering Teen18+ porn, there are no websites to my knowledge that enable visitors to sort through their content by porn star age and country, especially since many “teen18+” porn stars are in their late 20’s.
Consequently, once my website, becomes more “powerful”, my primary objective will be to actively seek out production studios, (not only those producing US porn, some of which I have signed-up to as an affiliate already) that produce legal Teen18+ porn all over the world, so that I am able to have my website be one of the largest “internet browser link” distributors and marketers of this type of porn, all while enabling internet users to, in a split second, view hundreds of new porn stars aged 18-22 and systematically browse through studio content (affiliate linking) by age. I realise that this step of my plan will not able to be realised until my website starts to become more popular and I am able to convince content providers to allow browsing of their content the way I envisage from my website.
Second Strategic Objective:
B) A discussion board featuring say the top 50 most famous and established porn stars by category.
The purpose of this discussion board will be to assist the website to obtain a higher Google ranking than what it would otherwise be possible. For example when a adult website user types in “Kacey Jordan teen porn” or any other established porn star name for that matter, Google’s web-crawlers will be able to link to my website’s discussion board discussing Kacey Jordan sex videos, gossip, interesting facts etc. And by keeping the website updated at least once a day provide for repeat visits by consumers.
By having written content on my website discussing personal lives, gossip, news etc. Relating to major porn-stars on my website, it should be easier for porn-seekers to find my website on the web when doing a search like “XXXX – Famous porn star name –“. Once some revenue starts rolling in, my plan is also to reinvest a large portion of it into Google advertising, so that I obtain a higher ranking when users search for “teen porn” or “famous porn star name” “teen porn” or “Name of a particular country – Teen porn”, since my galleries will eventually be sorted by country and age.
It is anticipated that this website will be able to store people’s e-mail addresses, but not billing information, which will be handled by affiliate content providers.
What type of age verification to use?
I’m open to suggestions based upon your experiences as to what type of age verification to use for website members. However, the majority of adult-websites simply scan whether a website visitor visits the website for the first time or not. If someone visits my website for the first time, either via the home page, or a link that someone has posted on the web, an age warning adult pop-up message should be displayed.
When the user clicks “Yes” a cookie is then downloaded onto their computer, which then prevents the pop-up message from appearing again, as long as they don’t clear their web browser cache.
However, based upon my research, some government agencies in particular countries require additional verification in the form of credit card or digital signature verification. Since, I will not directly charge anything to website visitors, I’m open to your suggestion whether additional age verification is required in the form of credit card verification, apart from the standard e-mail, username and password combination that is required to obtain access to the member-area of the site.
If millions of websites, including Redtube, simply use the “Yes” or “No” pop-up box for age-verification purposes, I don’t see why I would need to have additional credit card verification/age procedures for my website. Your thoughts and comments on that are appreciated.
Your responsibilities
Helping design the website logo by providing ideas, referrals to previous designers you’ve worked with or doing the work yourself.
Assisting me to “map-out” the website layout. Your experience in the design of past adult websites will help the project to truly stand out from the competition in the form of visual impact and simplicity of use.
Produce a solid, detailed technical design for the website broken down into various stages that will enable the website to be “tested” for potential success with a small part of content providers to start off with, before tackling the more challenging aspects of the website, such as database and forum development. It is anticipated that a simple “working” prototype database should be made available (will be negotiated later). This database should link to various content provided by the affiliate studio only.
Your qualifications:
- Programming languages: PHP, HTML/XHTML, CSS, JavaScript
- A work style that is extremely detail oriented
- Strong communication skills
- Must be comfortable working around adult content
- Experience designing successful porn websites in any niche highly regarded.
- Experience in creating websites that seamlessly integrate with Chameleon Submitter and Confirmer or other adult webmaster programs highly regarded.
- Important is the willingness to initially train and assist me in handling the basic tasks not requiring programming/design expertise to help me become more proficient in managing a website and learning to manage updates etc. myself.
- Willingness to grow with the company and project, as I am obviously going to reinvest profits into the business model/websites or further internet ventures.
