When I went to check out the tour of Just Teen Site, it wasn't exactly what I was expecting in some regards; in others, it was dead on. Even the name, Just Teen Site, doesn't quite sound right grammatically for some reason. The colorful pink, blue, green, and yellow logo and graphics are a bit of an eyesore, which didn't help their prospects either. Checking out the content, however, is where I was surprised. It looks to be more artful teen nudes, and the quality (from their small previews) looks quite nice actually. It even says it's 100% exclusive content, which I believe right off the bat, which is another unexpected surprise. It'll cost you $25 for the first month of membership, with renewals dropping down to $20 a month after that.
After an FAQ and a small warning, you are finally inside the member's area which looks much like a generic photographer's site at this point. They break down their content into the month and year it was put online, and have fake little magazine-style covers as content previews. Their stats are displayed proudly (and colorfully) with 205 photosets online right now, for a total of over 18,000 pictures. It looks like videos aren't a big priority here, but we'll check into that later.
You're pretty much stuck browsing by date here. There is no model's index, and you can't even browse by the different photographers either. They offer a top 10 downloadable sets list, but that's about the only extra way to browse. I wouldn't mind seeing more functionality added to the site here. Updates seem to come every 2-3 days here, actually coming every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from what I see.
The actual photos vary a bit since there are quite a few photographers doing work, but they all look quite nice overall. They're offered in two sizes usually, as well as in zip file format for quicker downloading. Also seen in the gallery are links to the model's other sets, which helps browsing a little bit! The large photos come in anywhere from 1600x1200 to 2200x1500 and beyond depending on the set. Quality is usually quite good, and there's a lot of natural outdoor sets which helps with stuff like lighting. Another set of features that's missing though is extra info on the model or photoset, which just isn't here.
As mentioned earlier, there are no videos which doesn't help a lot either. They seem to provide good-looking content and stick with the basics in that regard. With them being so focused on their photography, I would prefer if they made a great site to go along with it. Adding model info, photo gallery info (location, etc.), more search and browse features, and maybe more updates would benefit them a lot. I think it's a nice site for what it is, but could use the maturity and expansion to really compete down the road.

Well things are looking pretty good around here! But first, some bad news to start off with: the price is now up to $30 a month instead of $25. However, they're now updating the photo section daily. Videos are also a new addition starting a few months back (though that section is pretty small still). They look great all around, as expected from these guys. They also added a model's index helping out their lagging browse features from before. A few models even have some info on them, though this isn't very prevalent on the site yet. Overall there are some definite nice improvements here for sure. I'm glad to see them correcting the few flaws we saw last time and trying to make their site better!
Score increased from 81.0 to 85.5.

Just Teen Site continues to grow and upgrade each time we look. They're now up to over 1,100 photo sets, and just over 175 videos, which is a good increase from last time. Quality is up a bit too I think, though they've never had a huge problem in that department. The one bit of bad news is a price increase to $35 a month, which is getting pretty damn expensive. Otherwise, everything inside looks better than ever, and it aleady was pretty good before I must say.
Score increased from 85.5 to 87.0.
