Your Site's Look and Feel

What This Page Does

This guide explains how your site looks to visitors and what each section of your site does. It covers the pages your visitors see, the features they can use, and how you can control what appears on your site through the admin panel. Use this guide to understand the building blocks of your site so you can make better decisions about layout, content, and features.

How to Get Here

Your site's public pages are what visitors see when they go to your web address. To control what appears on these pages, go to Admin Panel > Settings > Feature Toggles to turn features on or off, and Admin Panel > Appearance > Style Manager to change colors and styling.


Understanding Your Site

Your site is made up of several main areas that visitors can browse. Each area can be turned on or off from the admin panel, so you only show what you need.

The Header (Top Bar)

Every page on your site has a header at the top. It includes:

  • Your site logo and name (links back to the homepage)
  • Navigation menu with links to Videos, Galleries, Models, Live Cams, Categories, and Users
  • A search bar for finding content
  • A language selector so visitors can switch between languages
  • Login and Register buttons for guests, or a profile menu for logged-in users
  • A dark mode toggle (if you have dark mode turned on)
Tip: Only the sections you have enabled in Feature Toggles show up in the navigation. If you turn off Galleries, the Galleries link disappears automatically.

The footer appears at the bottom of every page and includes:

  • Links to your legal pages (Terms, Privacy, DMCA, and more)
  • A dark mode toggle button
  • A cookie consent banner that appears for first-time visitors, letting them choose which types of cookies to allow

Ad Banner Zones

Your site has built-in zones where you can place advertising banners. These zones appear at the top of pages, in the middle of content, and in the footer. You manage banners from Admin Panel > Banners > Banner Management.


Your Site's Main Pages

Homepage

The homepage is the first thing visitors see. It shows:

  • Stat cards displaying totals for your videos, galleries, models, and live performers
  • Featured content sections highlighting trending videos, recent galleries, top models, and live performers

The stat cards automatically adjust based on which features you have turned on. If you only have Videos and Models enabled, only those two cards appear.

Note: The color of each stat card matches the content type: green for videos, purple for galleries, pink for models, and teal for live cams.

Videos Page

This is where visitors browse your video library. It includes:

  • A search bar to find videos by keyword
  • Sort options: Newest, Most Viewed, Top Rated, or Title A-Z
  • Controls to change how many videos appear per page (52, 104, or 156)
  • A grid of video thumbnails with titles and stats

Video Player Page

When a visitor clicks on a video, they see the player page with:

  • The video player supporting high-quality streaming
  • Video details including title, description, and tags
  • A star rating system (1 to 5 stars) so viewers can rate the video
  • A related videos section suggesting similar content
  • Access controls that restrict content based on membership level (free, premium, or VIP)
Note: Videos can be set to different access levels. Free videos are available to everyone. Premium and VIP videos require the visitor to have the appropriate membership.

Galleries Page

The galleries page lets visitors browse photo collections. It includes:

  • Search and sort options (by newest, most popular, rating, or title)
  • Controls for how many galleries appear per page
  • A grid of gallery thumbnails

  • A favorites button to bookmark favorite performers

Categories Page

The categories page displays all your content categories as visual cards. Visitors can click a category to see all content tagged with that topic.

This page shows your site's community members. Visitors can:

  • Search for users by name
  • Filter by account type (free, premium, VIP, moderator, or admin)
  • Sort by newest, oldest, most active, or alphabetical order
  • Click a user to view their profile

Creator Profiles

If you have the creator system enabled, visitors can:

  • Browse creators on the creator discovery page, with search and filters for verified status and price range
  • View creator profiles with their wall posts, subscriber count, and verification badge
  • Follow or subscribe to creators
  • Interact with posts by liking, commenting, or unlocking paid content
Tip: Featured creators appear in a special section at the top of the creator discovery page. You can set which creators are featured from the admin panel.

Live Streaming

If live streaming is enabled, your site includes:

  • A live streams directory showing active broadcasts
  • A stream viewer page with real-time video and live chat
  • Support for guest viewers (no account required to watch)

Playlists

Logged-in users can create and manage playlists of their favorite videos. The playlist viewer plays videos in sequence, making it easy to watch a curated collection.


Visitor Accounts and Settings

Registration and Login

Visitors can create accounts on your site. The registration form asks for:

  • Username (3 to 50 characters)
  • Email address
  • Password (with a strength indicator showing how secure it is)
  • Agreement to your terms and age verification (18+)

After registering, users must verify their email address before they can log in.

Note: If you have two-factor authentication enabled, users will be asked for a verification code after entering their password. This adds an extra layer of security.

User Profile Settings

Once logged in, users can manage their account through several tabs:

Tab What Users Can Do
Profile Upload an avatar and cover photo, edit their bio and personal info
My Videos View, edit, or delete videos they have uploaded
Messages Send and receive direct messages with other users
Friends Manage their friend list
Privacy Block other users, control who can see their profile
Email Choose which email notifications to receive
Security Set up two-factor authentication, view login history, manage trusted devices
Verification Complete identity verification if required
Tip: Not all tabs appear for every user. Tabs only show up if the related feature is turned on in your admin panel. For example, the Messages tab only appears if you have the messaging feature enabled.

Your site comes with a full set of legal and information pages that appear in the footer:

Terms & Conditions Rules for using your site
Privacy Notice How you handle visitor data (GDPR compliant)
DMCA Takedown procedure for copyrighted content
2257 Compliance Record-keeping compliance statement
Cookie Notice Details about cookies your site uses

FAQ Frequently asked questions
Trust & Safety Your policies for keeping the site safe

Warning: These legal pages are important for compliance. Make sure you review and customize them for your specific situation. The default text may not cover all legal requirements in your region.

Languages

Your site supports 25 languages out of the box. Visitors can switch languages using the language selector in the header. The supported languages are:

Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Hausa, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Marathi, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Telugu, Turkish, Urdu, Vietnamese, and Yoruba.

Note: The site automatically detects each visitor's preferred language from their browser settings. Visitors can override this at any time using the language selector.

You can manage translations from Admin Panel > Languages > Translation Manager.


Dark Mode

If you enable the dark mode feature, visitors see a toggle button in the header and footer. Clicking it switches the entire site to a darker color scheme that is easier on the eyes in low-light settings. The site remembers each visitor's preference so they do not have to toggle it every time they visit.


When visitors arrive at your site for the first time, they see a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the page. They can choose to accept all cookies or customize their preferences:

Cookie Type What It Does Can Visitors Turn It Off?
Essential Required for the site to work properly No (always active)
Functional Remembers preferences like language and dark mode Yes
Analytics Tracks how visitors use the site so you can improve it Yes
Advertising Used for targeted advertising Yes
Note: The cookie consent system helps keep your site compliant with GDPR and other privacy regulations.

Feature Toggles -- Controlling What Visitors See

One of the most powerful tools at your disposal is the Feature Toggle system. From Admin Panel > Settings > Feature Toggles, you can turn entire sections of your site on or off without any technical knowledge.

Here is a summary of what you can control:

Category Features You Can Toggle
Content Videos, Galleries, Models, Categories, Tags
Live Cams Live cam browsing, individual cam site integrations
Creators Creator profiles, creator posts, tipping, subscriptions, pay-per-view, live streaming
Users Registration, profiles, favorites, playlists, watch history, comments, ratings, uploads, messaging, friends
Security Two-factor authentication, trusted devices, login history
Site-Wide Search, dark mode, cookie consent, age gate, maintenance mode
Tip: When you first set up your site, start with the core features (Videos, Models, Registration) and add more as you grow. You can always turn on additional features later.
Warning: Turning off a feature hides it from visitors immediately. If someone has bookmarked a page for a feature you disable, they will be redirected with a message explaining that the feature is not available.

Customizing Your Site's Appearance

You can change how your site looks without touching any code:

Style Manager

Go to Admin Panel > Appearance > Style Manager to customize colors, fonts, and spacing across your site. Changes take effect immediately for all visitors.

Color Scheme

Your site uses a nature-inspired green color scheme by default. Different content sections have their own accent colors:

Section Accent Color
Videos Green
Galleries Purple
Models Pink
Live Cams Teal

These accent colors help visitors quickly identify which section of the site they are browsing.


Tips for New Users

Tip:
  • Start simple. Turn on only the features you need right now. You can always enable more later.
  • Check your site as a visitor. Open your site in a private/incognito browser window to see exactly what visitors experience.
  • Set up your legal pages first. Review and customize the Terms, Privacy, and DMCA pages before launching.
  • Enable cookie consent. This keeps you compliant with privacy laws in most regions.
  • Use the language system. Even if your audience speaks one language, having translations ready helps you grow internationally.
  • Test on mobile. Your site automatically adjusts for smaller screens, but it is always good to check that everything looks right on a phone.

Troubleshooting

A feature is missing from the navigation menu

What you see: A section like Galleries or Live Cams does not appear in the menu bar.
How to fix it:

  1. Go to Admin Panel > Settings > Feature Toggles.
  2. Find the feature you want to enable (for example, Galleries).
  3. Toggle it to On.
  4. The feature appears in the navigation menu immediately.

 

Visitors say the site looks different than expected

What you see: Colors, fonts, or layout elements look wrong or inconsistent.
How to fix it:

  1. Ask the visitor to clear their browser cache or try a private/incognito window.
  2. Go to Admin Panel > Appearance > Style Manager and check that your customizations are saved correctly.
  3. If you recently made changes, they may take a moment to appear for all visitors.

 

Dark mode toggle is not showing

What you see: There is no dark mode button in the header or footer.
How to fix it:

  1. Go to Admin Panel > Settings > Feature Toggles.
  2. Find Dark Mode and make sure it is toggled On.
  3. The toggle button appears in both the header and the footer.

 

Videos are not playing

What you see: A visitor clicks on a video but nothing plays, or the player shows an error.
How to fix it:

  1. Check that the video has finished processing. Go to Admin Panel > Videos > Video Management and look at the video's status.
  2. If the status shows Processing, wait a few minutes and check again.
  3. If the status shows Error, the video may need to be re-uploaded. Delete the video and upload it again.
  4. Ask the visitor to try a different browser to rule out browser compatibility issues.

 

Translations are showing as codes instead of text

What you see: Instead of readable text, visitors see things like videos.title or nav.home.
How to fix it:

  1. Go to Admin Panel > Languages > Translation Manager.
  2. Make sure the language files are properly loaded.
  3. If the issue persists, contact support for assistance.
