LA Direct webmaster Simon Says said that the site was due for an upgrade to better keep in line with LA Direct’s new branding campaign with a cleaner look and added glamour.
The site’s top navigation bar also has been tweaked. Users now can view talent using custom search features (newest added and alphabetical), an advanced search using the company’s model matrix, and separate links to the agency’s available production crew and locations for rental.
“The new site is designed to have more of a high-end magazine-like look and feel to it,” Says told XBIZ. “It’s sleeker, cleaner and easier to use than before. We know all the production companies visit our site — many of them numerous times throughout the day — so we wanted to make their viewing experience easy and pleasurable.”
Also redesigned is the LADirect.com news page, which is a blog-style site (also accessible at LADirectNews.com) that gives users the latest news regarding the agency’s talent: appearances, dancing gigs, webcam show schedules and more.
Users now also are able to navigate to The Lee Network site for feature dancing bookings and to Robert Lombard’s Essence Talent and Models site for adult performers available for mainstream work.
