All New Classified Advertising for Adults

We are pleased to, finally, launch our all new classified advertising for mature adults directory. We have been trying out a few different ideas over the past couple of years and have finally decided on our format. Unlike any other classified ad site, we do not hijack our visitors browsers. We have developed a clean, valid, standards compliant format that is easy to utilize, without java tricks.

The simple fact is that over the past few months the previous beta versions were highly visited and ranked in the top 5 for categories with the most unique visitors and page views. Since the redevelopment away from structured tabled layouts has evolved the majority of the site, we could not provide what visitors are looking for, old school classified ads, with type that is large enough to read. This is where our commitment of conformance to a common look and feel for our site as well as the standards compliant, fluid layouts give us the ultimate advantage.

We offer our visitors more content and information about Windsor's red light district than anyone for a reason. Since we have such a vast selection of categories that are all related to mature audiences we had to Launch it as a work in progress, you will help us build the relevant categories. We will start with the basics and visitor feedback will add the rest. Just like the site, this is all new to the Windsor market and will be a shock to the system and we love it!

Below are some of the things that set us apart from any other local 'entertainment' directory, or general directories for that fact:

We offer our loyal visitors:
  • Accessible Web Pages
  • Fast Loading Web Pages
  • A Common Look and Feel
  • Structured and Consistent Navigation
  • Title and Link Tags as well as Visual Aids
  • More Exclusive Content
  • More Choices
  • More Exposure to More Adult Activities
  • and best of all...Relevance.
We do this by providing a complete web directory for mature adults based upon:
  • Valid: XHTML PHP, CSS, JavaScript (with noscript options)
  • No Minimum Browser or Operating System Requirements
  • No Java Runtime applications required
  • No JavaScript functions or setting requirements
  • No Flash or Media Player downloads required

Redesign

A little about the sites current upgrades.

As the site traffic has increased and I speak to other web developers I have noticed an increase in non-traditional browsers visiting the site. This began several months ago while beta testing some new css layouts. I noticed that as I re-developed the pages with relative sizes for tables and font sizes, traffic increased a little. As I tweeked the pages and continued to clean up the code to speed up the load times I also noticed another bonus, a big increase in search engine crawls and indexing which helped with rankings as well. The beta testing went better than expected and I was pleased with the results. At the time all of the sites pages were coded in html 4.01 transitional or loose, many did not validate but it didn't seem to matter much, or so I thought. as I began another development project I figured it was time to utilize xhtml strict. Now there were many reasons for the switch to xhtml but the one that stuck with me was cross browser compatability. As the other project developed that project a whole new aspect came to light, accessibility. I will expand on that at another time. But for now the basic fundamentals were to design for cross browser support and graceful degradation, (more browser friendly and give nicer results to mutiple screen widths). The best way to achieve this was to scrap the idea of utilizing tables for page content structure and developing tableless layouts with css. Again I launched a few beta pages, tried to break them with different tools and browsers and noticed a big change in search engine results! The more I developed the style with css coding the cleaner and smaller my pages were which tranlated to faster loading and better search engine results. What a bonus! But an even greater bonus was the increase in text based browsers and handheld devices too! Well that has led me to re-develop before the last redesign was completed but sure saved a lot of double work and a lot of headaches to boot.
