Haley Wilde exploded on to the scene in 2006 and quickly became one of our most popular coeds. 2 years later she is still as popular as ever. Here is our review of Haley Wilde's members' area.
I first reviewed Haley's site in May 2008 and the review was mediocre at best. However, shortly after a lot of my issues were resolved thus I've decided to revisit my review and give an up-to-date impression.
(7 Cherries)
Quality-wise Haley's content is decent. The pictures are not super high-resolution (around 700x1000) but they are crystal clear and more high-res than some of the other solo girls. Here is a sample picture from Haley's members' area:
Video-wise Haley offers you 3 options (low, medium and high) so that you can pick the size that best fits your connection speed. The videos are all around 10 minutes in length.
You have the option of streaming the movie (some times in a flash player, other times it will load Windows Media Player or whatever video player you have set to default) or you can download the movie. You can also choose between downloading the video in small clips (so you can start watching the first clip while the others download) or downloading the full movie.
Here's a shot of a video streaming:

Quantity-wise Haley offers around 100 photo sets and videos as well as some bonus stuff (that I'll get to in the bonus section).
The videos are around 10 minutes in length and the photo sets have between 50 and 100 pictures in them.
Here's a screen shot of the picture section:
Haley has an odd (some may say old-fashioned) method of browsing her pictures. They're in frames and the thumbnails are in a single column on the side with the big picture loading in a frame beside them.
Here's a screen shot of the video browser:
What is also really nice about Haley's site is that there is an equal number of photo and video sets. Also, with a lot of solo girl sites the videos are just behind-the-scenes footage of the photo sets being taken. This is NOT the case with Haley's site. The videos are totally unique to the photos. So you can't really say that Haley's site is photo-based or video-based. She does both and she does both extremely well.

When I first published this review I gave Haley 1 cherry for updates. Here's what I had to say at that time:
"Here's where things get bad. Really really REALLY bad. It seems that some time around May 2007 Haley just disappeared. I asked her webmaster if she quit or what and he said that she has been having some rough personal issues and would make a return."
As promised, she did make her return. Around August / September '08 she started updating again. Slow at first but she's continued to update her site and now every week or so there is a new video or picture set.
I'm reluctant to give Haley more than 7 cherries due to past problems, but if she continues to update her site at the current rate you will not be disappointed.
Here's a screen-shot of her photo updates:

Haley offers a bit of bonus stuff.
First off, she offers some candid and behind the scenes pics of her. I'm a sucker for behind the scenes stuff but others undoubtedly won't care as much.
She also has some galleries of other solo girls like Raven Riley and Divinity 18. Of course, the galleries she offers have about 20 pics in them so you're not really going to get anything that you wouldn't get, say, here at Coed Cherry. But it's still nice she offers bonus stuff, especially in light of her complete lack of updates.
And of course, she also has a forum but like I said above, posts get deleted and Haley doesn't post on it anymore so it's pretty pointless.

You have the option of 2 prices:
The 3 month membership actually works out to a couple cents MORE than the 1 month price (24.98 / month), which is very odd. However, you do save $5 / month if you stay on for 4 months +.
Compared to other solo girls and based on the amount of content that you get, Haley's site is a bargain. 24.95 is a reasonable price in exchange for getting all of the Haley Wilde content and now that she's updating again I can say that it's worth it to get more than 1 month.
There really isn't a reason to get the 3 month membership unless you're confident that you will stay on for at least 4 months. This is a bit of a gamble since she could stop updating her site at any time. I can't really make a recommendation either way. If you're the type of person who likes to play it by ear then pay $24.95 every month and see what happens. If you think you'll stick around for a long time then go with the 3 month.
I'm giving Haley 9 cherries for price since most other solo girls charge more for way less content.
When I first published this review I was pretty hard on Haley (no pun intended). She wasn't updating her site, forum posts were being deleted (I assumed because the forum was filled with people complaining about no updates), most videos could only be streamed etc.
It now seems that all these issues have been resolved. Haley is updating her site again, videos can be downloaded. Forum posts are not being deleted.
So is a Haley Wilde membership worth it ? Absolutely. I've had my own membership for the last couple of months and I have to say that I don't think I have ever seen a turn-around like this. Usually when a solo girl site stops updating it's because the girl retired from the business and the site-owner's try to hide it and squeeze the site for every cent that they can. In Haley Wilde's case, it is clear that Haley and her crew care about her site and want to make things right. This isn't to say that Haley won't disappear again and her webmaster(s) won't fall back on old habits, but if that happens you can always cancel your membership and I can always update this review again. For now I think that you will be quite pleased.
Here's the last thing that I had to say when this review was first published:
"And who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and Haley will make a come-back and earn our trust again. In the meantime it really annoys me that they charge people a recurring membership fee and don't make it clear that they don't update."
While my last point still stands (they should have been honest and not recycled old content), we did get lucky. Haley made her come-back and fixed the issues. Here's hoping that they keep up the good work!
