Web Site Design A number of programs are used in the design and creation of web sites by OTS Development Corp. Among them are Front Page 2002, Hot Metal Pro, Net Objects Fusion, Web Razor Pro, Gif Animator, Gif FX, Cool 3D, Photo Impact, Adobe Acrobat, Word, Excel and a host of others. Web site creation and design costs are based on $75.00 per hour. The final cost of web site creation is dependent on two major factors. 1. The size and complexity of the site. 2. Materials provided by the client. The client controls both items listed above, you decide the size and complexity of the site. The materials provided by the client is probably the most important in keeping your costs to a minimum. Materials provided either in the body of an Email or as an attachment are the simplest to incorporate into your site. Materials provided via US Postal mail (hardcopy) must either be scanned or retyped into your site and obviously take substantially longer. Materials that I have to research to obtain take the longest. The longer it takes me to put what you want on your site the more it costs you, so to keep your costs to a minimum materials provided via email either in the body of the message itself or as an attachment will help keep your costs to a minimum. Development time is mainly dependent on how quickly you get the required information to me. Once I have all the information development time is less than 1 week. Basic updates to your site are normally completed within 24 hours or less. Minor updates are at no charge more complicated or involved updates are charged at the hourly rate. Please keep in mind that site page load times are dependent on the content of each page. I attempt to keep all pages to under 30 seconds at 28.8 bps. Graphics, Pictures, Animation and special effects all take time to load. I will create whatever you request, however when a page exceeds the load time noted above I will caution you in an attempt to keep all pages within this limit as your visitors will not stay very long if they have to wait extended periods of time for your pages to load. Documents that you would like to made available to your visitors in the exact
form that you provide them to us can be converted to PDF files which can be
viewed online or downloaded and viewed and/or printed with Adobe Acrobat Reader
which is provided FREE by Adobe. If your site incorporates PDF files a link to
the Free Adobe Acrobat Reader will be included on your site. |
