| Pros: |
+Completely exclusive softcore and toy play content
+Some hot models, including Shay Laren, Rita Lovely, Lena Nicole, and Riley Jensen
+Photos in zips at 3000 pixels
+Updates every day, usually with 2 items (videos and/or photo sets), sometimes with 3, rarely with just one
+Good visitor’s preview
+Navigation is clear and easy.
+The videos look great. They can be streamed in a player that allows you to select low (crappy), med (default and plenty good), or high quality. Some even have an additional “HD” option for those with blazing connections and muscular video hardware. View full screen if you like, and jump from one part of a scene to another (click the icon of 4x3 squares).
+Videos downloaded are hi def, 1280x720, 1.98 mbits/sec.
+”BellaTV” offers brief BTS or outtake scenes that stream and download. See Shay Laren prove that you can’t laugh and jack off at the same time.
+Good “self-help” section
+Responsive support if you have a question |
| Cons: |
-Photos to download come in only one size: 3000 pixels
-Photo galleries range too much in number of pics. Some have over 100, but others have just 20-30.
-Previewing photo galleries is difficult: pics are not arranged in any particular order; thumbs are small and are not wysiwyg; and to get them wysiwyg, you “enlarge” them (but not to full size) in the viewer.
-Zip downloads take about 15 seconds to really get going
-Zip download speed around 340 kbps (not a major con, perhaps)
-Pics are randomly ordered in the zips as well.
-The watermark in the pics is large enough to be distracting. It should be at least 50% of its current size.
-Videos available in only HD MP4 or iPod (might not be a major con).
-Street noise can be heard in the videos; it’s a bit distracting |
| Bottom Line: |
I signed up for the site as a “premium” member rather than fiddle around with the credit purchasing system they have. I hate those things, especially during tax season.
I like the overall look of this site, but of course it’s fairly new with only 51 photo galleries, 54 videos, 12 “Bella TV” scenes, and just 20 models at the moment.
In the photo galleries, even though there is some toy insertion, and sometimes even multiple insertions, the emphasis here is on “sexy” rather than sex. Full nudity is also pretty uncommon; the preference is for the model to have on a dress or some article of clothing draped over her which she can lift up. There also seems to be a preference for natural light, so indoor shoots are often near large open windows.
It’s a rather unique approach. The sites that seem closest are Breath-Takers and GirlFolio, but Bella1010 has a better control of light and there aren’t as many pics with heavy contrasts of amber light and shadow as you’d find at those other two.
The videos are another matter, and they are the real strength of the site. There’s more prolonged nudity and plenty of masturbation with the digits or the old “Dan-o.” They’re actually pretty exciting. You’ll be sitting in your computer chair, rooting for Shay Laren to get off, forgetting all about baseball or football or whatever for a moment.
I do have suggestions that I think would make the site better:
- Get rid of the photo viewer and just put thumbs – larger thumbs – on the gallery page. (See my PU poll “How do you prefer to view pics at a porn site?” With 25 responses so far, no one likes “photo viewers.”)
- Arrange the photos in “start to finish” order, not “52-card pickup” order
- Allow a smaller photo option as well as the nice 3000 px, for both single pic downloading and zips. 1200 or 1280 px.
-Make the watermark smaller.
- Show the girls completely naked more in the photo shoots
- Show the girls really showing off their asses. (I had to put that in.)
Doing that would give the site two notable strengths – videos AND photos. There are some people who prefer pics over videos. Keep them happy too and Bella1010 will probably have even more people delving into its treasures. |
