Okay, here’s my take on how to build a “safe adult website,” based on my, ahem, extensive research and personal tinkering.
My Little Project: Building a “Safe” Adult Site
So, I had this idea. You know, a place for grown-ups, but without all the sketchy stuff that makes you want to scrub your eyeballs with bleach afterwards. I wanted something, well, cleaner. Not “clean” as in boring, but “clean” as in, no surprises, no worries, just… good, adult fun.
First thing I did was grab a domain name. Something kinda catchy, but not, like, too obvious, you feel me? I went through a few ideas, scribbled them on a napkin (classic!), and finally landed on one that felt right.
Then I choose the web hosting, pick a random one because there no difference.
The Techy Bits (Don’t Worry, It’s Easy)
Next up, the platform. I’m no coding wizard, so I went with WordPress. It’s like the Lego of website building – super easy to snap things together. I found a nice, simple theme, nothing too flashy. I wanted the content to be the star, not some crazy design that makes your eyes bleed.
Then came the plugins. Now, this is where the “safe” part really kicks in. I added:
- An age verification plugin: Gotta keep the kids out, right? This one pops up a little “Are you 18 or older?” box before anyone can see anything. Simple, but effective.
- A security plugin: This is like the bouncer at the door, keeping out the riff-raff (aka hackers and malware). I picked one that scans for vulnerabilities and blocks suspicious activity.
- A content filtering plugin: This one was a bit trickier. I wanted to make sure nothing… unwanted… slipped through. It’s not perfect, but it helps weed out anything that’s clearly not appropriate. I will check the content everyday.
Content is King (or Queen!)
Of course, a website is nothing without content. I decided to make content myself. I will upload it when I finished. I also thought about adding user-generated content. But I knew i need to moderate it. So, I added a comment moderation plugin to the list. Every comments will be reviewed by myself.
Keeping it Running Smoothly
Building the site was just the first step. I knew I had to keep it updated, secure, and, well, safe. So, I set up a schedule:
- Daily: Quick check for any obvious issues, new comments, or security alerts.
- Weekly: Run a full security scan, update plugins and themes, and backup the entire site.
- Monthly: Review the content filtering rules, make sure everything is still working as expected, and maybe tweak the design a bit.
It’s a bit of work, but it’s worth it. It’s like having a garden – you gotta water it, weed it, and keep the pests away to keep it looking good.
The Result?
So, after all that, what did I end up with? A pretty decent little site, if I do say so myself. It’s not perfect, and it’s definitely a work in progress, but it’s a start. It’s a place where adults can, you know, be adults, without all the usual online baggage. And that, my friends, is a good thing.
It took me lots of time and hard work, but finally I made it. All the steps above are my record, and I am happy to share with you.
