We recently stumbled upon Racquel Darrian’s website (www.racqueldarrian.com) in search of porn star sites to take an in-depth look at and review.
At first glance, the page is pink and pretty, and is the club site for the real Racquel fan. From navigating the tour, the site makes you feel like you can actually get many explicit images and features from her official site. The animated gifs in the tours that show that she actually does the live chat would make a user excited about going inside of the member area to see when she will next be doing an exclusive chat.
The one thing that we wish that we felt from the site is that she had more daily input on the site. Her official site is designed nicely, but we suggest that Racquel add a personal touch to the site outside of the photo shoot images that are provided. She is a stunning woman, and totally fan club worthy. We feel that the users would like to see some weekly personal pictures. It may be good if she featured pictures that she took herself with a digital camera. If that personal touch was more overt in the tour, it could spark more of a personal cord with the potential fan club member. Racquel, if you do not agree with this, please let us know. We are just here to help.
When we ventured inside of the member area, we were pleased with what she had to offer from her official website. The member area was simple and to the point. It was not overcrowded with meaningless porn that did not have to do with her. That was a great thing about the site. The quality of the stuff that she did stayed consistent within the site.
One thing that was a really enjoyable part of her site was the fact that it had the links to other models’ content that we have not seen before. It is our job to look at a lot of porn, and if we have not seen the sets, it is a rarity. We enjoyed the sets with Aria Giovanni best with the video that accompanies it. Features like these make one feel really good about the perks of a potential purchase to Racquel’s site.
She started in the adult entertainment business by doing magazine layouts for various publications. Once that began to die down a bit, she decided to make the switch over to films/videos. She’s always been an exhibitionist at heart, and having sex on camera lets her live that out while showing off her body and learning new positions! Her site has many movies and pictures for the fan’s enjoyment. Her site also offers the user personal items that they can purchase: live sex shows, video galleries, picture galleries, and her bonus stuff was really cool to take a look at.
Our main criticism is the fact that when we looked at the site on March 1st, the last update was listed as 12-02-01 (9 new video clips added to her “My Girlfriends” section). Racquel, please take some pictures in 2002. Your fans will love you more for it.
For the most part, we enjoyed the site. We did not think that the site was going to be that comprehensive once inside. Her site is designed well from the tour area. We also feel that her members area was designed with simplicity in mind. It may not be cutting-edge, but it gets the message across. It is simple, and has a good amount of Racquel in it where a potential member will be satisfied with his purchase.

— Sites must be finalized. We like to review in a positive light, and we don’t want to have to comment on the fact that there is ‘under construction’ barriers or 404 errors all over the sites. All areas of the site should be in working order and operating properly.
— If the site includes a member’s area, a username and password combination should be sent with the review request. The username and password should be working until the site review is done, or until the webmaster is notified that the review is published.
— Sites must prevent minors from accessing explicit content.
