[Alex's Trip]

When I was at my aunts wedding about 5 years ago, this guy that did web design for pron sites was talking to me a lot (not about the porn, I was too young then), he seemed pretty happy. And I overheard that he loved his job.

My friend who's doing it currently up in Seattle says it's a very professional atmosphere and the only weird thing is that your computer screen often has something on it for work reasons that you would get fired for having on it at any other job.

I don't see why you couldn't put it on your portfolio either. Of course you'd take it pretty easy on the samples and probably make it removable if clients were conservative. But otherwise, it would just show lots of clients you can be paid to do work that goes outside the mainstream. A lot of non-porn customers might appreciate that.

So the objections you've listed don't really hold water. The thing you have to ask yourself, and this would keep me from wanting to take such a job, can you stand to be inundated with a lot of visual images of potentially gross sexual stuff all day long that you are not choosing for yourself at all? Many people can handle that fine, and if they have programming or design skills, I say go make the bucks. You are not necessarily a prude if you think it would make you nauseated to be exposed to that sort of thing all the time. A lot of porn is plain ugly, and you don't get to choose if you're getting paid to work with it.

That's definitely helpful to know, especially as there tends to be a decent amount of openings for this kind of stuff. I'll keep this in mind in case of any future openings, the one I applied for drastically lowered their compensation to $35/website (what???). Generally speaking most of these jobs pay very well though and it's good to know it's a professional atmosphere.

I for one, can't wait to collectively wank with Glice and Clone. and then to be able to talk about it in a designated and officially recognized circle jerk thread would make it so so sweet

It would rid us of the boredom that people say lurks around here.

On the contrary it is working with porn and I can't put it in my portfolio. Good idea?

go for it! dead-air summed up my thoughts. i mean, design is design, if you do good work, put it in your portfolio.

What absolute fucking cheap-skates! There are definitely going to be some sketchy fuckers in the porn industry, but then web design in general is a magnet for those types, isn't it? I'd say, look for a company that offers compensation that sounds reasonable in real world terms. My friend in Seattle's job has a 401K plan.
