Up for review today is the official site of Sandra Shine. I've never heard the name before for it to be an official site, but that's not saying much with me. It turns out she's been in a few magazines and videos before (Penthouse, North Pole, just to name a few) so she's done the porn thing before. Now she's got her site here for us to enjoy, all for the price of $25 a month through the CCBill link.
The goods:
- All exclusive content. This is obviously the cornerstone of most any solo-girl site, and it's definitely true here on Sandra's site as well. Any solo site that's not all exclusive wouldn't be very much fun.
- Looks to all be shot by professionals. Since Sandra's a well-known model, it looks like she has people shooting her that definitely know what they're doing. Look for pro-style makeup, photography, lighting, etc. in her galleries.
- Quality is good here. This goes back to the above in that she has professionals working with her. The quality here is quite good all around from the pics to the videos. I wouldn't mind pictures being a little larger, but they still look great.
- Updates are coming. The only dates you'll find here are in the tour as she doesn't put any kind of update schedule in her member's area for some reason. However, you'll see that something new is put up every couple of days usually keeping the site growing nicely.
The bads:
- Could use some growth. I only counted 43 photo galleries and 20 videos online right now which is a very small site. That's only one or two more sets than she had back in August when we last counted, which is quite strange. I guess if you include her backstage content it would be a little higher, but it's still a very small site.
- All sets and videos come in zip files initially. I'm not quite sure why they do this, but you can't view any photos online (or videos while they're downloading). Everything comes first in a zip file which royally sucks. Their download speeds were only about 1/3 of our connection maximum as well which didn't help.
- Diary entries are a bit short, not too personal. They come pretty often, but she doesn't usually write too much in them unfortunately. A lot of them are work related as well, and I'd prefer more personal touches to this area.
- Updates only listed in free area, not inside. Just a strange navigational quirk that they have here. I understand wanting to sell the site to new users, but regular members need to know when the site is updated too.
Conclusion:
One thing that's bothered me is that the site is called Sandra Shine Live, but she's never live here. Maybe it's live in the fact that it's active and being updated. Otherwise, the site itself is nice, as is the content, but there's just not enough to see here in the end. She also charges a bit more than usual at $25 a month, so that hurts her value even a little more. If she just had more stuff overall, I think it'd be a fine site here.
