Man, I wish I didn't have to break the score down and actually look at the site, cuz with her looks it'd be easy to give Desirae a quick 100 and be done with it. This is one hot lady, and her dude somehow convinced her she should show us dorks all her naked-ness on the net. Good job man!!
The site is run by her and her husband (? I think they're married at least). It's very amateur in most senses of the word (except that she probably makes a ton of $$ from the site). They designed it themselves, and it you can tell for sure. It's not bad looking or anything, but just a simple site.
Sorry to rush this, but I kinda wanna see her getting naked and stuff. The photos section isn't huge unfortunately. There's only like 60+ of her "main" galleries listed now, which isn't horrible in itself, but the gallery updates seem a little small too. They average about 2-3 pages (with 12 pics per page), but some of them are only like 12 pictures total for an update (there are of course outliers the other way as well, with upwards of 50-60 pics). I hate to complain so early, but why would any of us want to live any longer without seeing as much Desirae as possible? She does have some screen caps from her cam shows that make up another 30+ galleries, but they're screen caps (that vary quite a bit in size and quality from set to set) and are obviously not staged perfectly like normal photosets are. Most of her sets are her solo, but she does get pretty wild once in a while with her man, another woman, and even some duct tape and gag-ball things sometimes.
The pictures are about as I expected, not bad but no award winners here. They are generally on the small side, with the average being around 600x450 or maybe a little bigger. Some of the old stuff is quite a bit smaller, and randomly (in the middle of galleries of standard-sized photos) you can find some larger pictures available.
The videos are about the same. For some reason the Windows Media versions vary like crazy, even though they are encoded at 500kbps, or 366kbps, or 250kbps. It's like some of them have been encoded 2-3 times or something, and just lost a ton of quality. Some of the older 250kbps clips look better than the newer 500kbps stuff, really weird! In the middle they added Real Video as a second option, and most recently they added Quicktime as a third option. They all look decent, but both the QT and Real versions have to be downloaded first before they'll start playing (and that can take some time).
The one big problem I see is just the unity between her navigation, design, and sets. Browsing around, I noticed a lot of weird things such as random huge pictures in the middle of galleries (the bride one), sometimes when choosing a gallery the thumb is clickable (while other times just the text is), sometimes the photo have a bevel to them (most don't), the video encoding settings change from clip to clip, and other random things like this. It just sometimes didn't feel like one, big cohesive website.
She does offer a lot of extras, including quite a few bought feeds in there. She also does three webcam shows each week: one on Amateur Cam House, one on Sex Cam Central, and one for her members only. This is more than I've seen any other amateurs do up till now, so that's a big bonus. She also has a journal that's randomly updated (between 2-10 times a month) with anything from a sentence to a book. The $25 price tag is a little high for what you get in my opinion, since there's not a ton of photos or videos. But three cam shows (including the private members only one) might help with that extra cost some. I like Desirae a lot, I just think her site is a little young still and will hopefully grow and evolve in time into an even better place to hang out. Anything involving this girl is bound to be pretty good in my book.
