This
is the charge following the setting up a basic Web Site and for the
placement of content not associated with scan/ocr activities. It may
also include editing, and updating of material sent by the
client or created by the web master on a client's web. The posted format
can be in html, word-processing, dbtextworks database or image as required
For
example, to place 50 client-supplied jpeg images in an "as is"
state (i.e. without further editing, resolution reduction, etc. by the
contractor) on a basic Web Site would take one full hour ($50.00) Subsequent
publication to an internet site would not attract any additional charge, if
the said images were of the normal internet size. However, if the same 50
images were of a sufficiently larger size that tied up the contractor's
computer for long periods of time (which process also requires the
monitoring for disconnects and the initiation of re-connects), or if the
images required further editing or image reductions, then an
additional
$50.00 per hour would be charged

PIECE WORK

where the hourly or scanning charge may become excessive. Generally, any individual
project requiring more than 40 hours of work per fiscal year could be considered for a piece
work negotiated price.
- One excellent
example is the
Krause
agreement with the Louisbourg Institute (University College of Cape
Breton) re its web site
where five discrete service charges are rolled-up into one affordable yearly price:
(1) Setting up basic Web Sites (2) Scanning/OCR of key
Fortress of Louisbourg In-House Historical reports (3) Population of Web
