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
