I think you've misunderstood me; it's nothing to do with what people can afford, it's to do with not wanting to pay out more than we need to for what amounts to the same thing. I don't pay a fiver for a bottle of milk when I can get one for a quid, either.
That said, I'll be chuckling at the idea people who earn a three figure sum per hour 'can't afford' one of your sites all morning, so ta for that .
I totally misunderstood. That's exactly what I originally thought, its why I figured people would be interested in a more professional service instead of the do it yourself site or the other options I've seen out there. You don't get many indi websites that look visually appealing.
So it comes down to why have a professional website over the DIY option...
1. Its done for you.
2. Stand out from the crowd - If you had two websites offering exactly the same thing and exactly the same price but one was DIY and the other a professional website, the majority would pick the latter. Its why people spend so much in the advertising industry, image sells.
3. Create a new revenue stream - Why just escort when you could offer a number of services online, like memberships, items, streaming, videos etc. A plethora of options in the adult industry.
4. Create a brand and exploit it via various social media avenues like twitter. Again its about standing out from the crowd.
5. Increase your conversion rates - with online media you have on average 5 seconds to grab someones attention before they move on, its called bounce rate. The delivery of your media will help improve this. You can look at your own bounce rate for free by installing google analytic's on your DIY options to see what I mean.
6. Your customers will not give you a second chance to make a first impression. Impressions are vital and an outstanding web design is the key to success.
7. A website should not just draw attention. The role of a website is to attract and engage the user, as well as communicate you and raise awareness about your service.
8. Mobile/Responsive/Google - All my sites are built responsively, i.e. they work on PC's and adapt for whatever the device size and change view. I.e. phones, iPads, tablets etc. With the latest Google updates this is very important because if your site doesn't do this in the correct manner your site is negatively marked.
9. Online Portfolio - Your website is your portfolio, no matter the industry, when you demonstrate your work you like it to look the best it possibly can. Take a CV for example... presentation is a key component.
10. Confidence - Having a website professionally designed/redesigned will provide your services with a professional image which will inspire even greater confidence. This is particularly beneficial since you do not have a store front to promote your services.
