Vanessa Hudgens

www.vanessahudgens.nu

Why do you think your site is so popular?
The site is updated on a regular basis which is why fans like visiting it. Personally, I think that this draws people's attention to the site. What is more, I post latest news and rumours, images, videos, and have a great deal of readable content. It seems to me that visitors appreciate it.

How did you learn web design?
I'm not that skilled in web designing, therefore, I have ordered my layout on one of the design sites. Particularly I love the current layout as it was designed by my friend and I find it amazing.

Where do you get your images?
I have some image accounts, but in most cases I use celebrity forums. They tend to post a lot of pictures of Vanessa, especially from premieres and other events.

What advice do you have for people who want to start a fansite?
You need to know that running a fansite is not that easy as you should provide your visitors with all the recent stuff connected with their idol. What is more, running a fansite occupies the majority of your free time but what you get is enormous satisfaction.

Why did you decide to create a fansite for 'Vanessa Hudgens'?
I love Vanessa. I mean she is an amazing singer and actress. She's really talented and she has the makings of a great superstar in the future. I adore her natural beauty and the kind of a person she is. She seems to be a normal woman and so down to earth.

What's the most hits your site has had in a single day?
It is hard to say because I changed the main domain twice. I have been recently getting 2,000 unique visitors per day.

Your Favorite Thing About Your Celebrity(s):
I love everything in Vanessa and I cannot point to the exactly one thing.

A Little History About Your Site:
I started with a small fansite one year ago. I used to have babyv.org & babyv-pictures.org domains then. I had serious problems with updating the site on a regular basis. It was a hectic period and I couldn't focus on the site. I have decided this year that I would like to support Vanessa 24/7 and purchased more mature domains (vanessahudgens.nu & vanessa-pictures.net). She is not a little girl anymore, but a woman, so I would like the domains to reflect this change. And now the site is growing everyday and I have some loyal and faithful visitors. And I'm extremely glad that they visit my Vanessa site and appreciate my work.

Zac Efron

Why did you decide to create a fansite for 'Zac Efron'?
I feel that Zac Efron stole the show on CW's "Summerland". He had a lot of talent and charisma for someone his age and I wanted to learn more about him but couldn't find anything on the web. I knew more people would be searching him and wanted to help them find what they were looking for.

At one point our site recieved close to 30,000 unique hits in one day and well over one million a month.

Your Favorite Thing About Your Celebrity(s):

Charismatic aka zefron.com was created in the summer of 2005 and begin as just a list of fans. Gradually we added a gallery, forum, and all the features that you find on the site today. We've had our ups and our downs but we're holding on!
