 IMPORTANT NOTE:   We are not able to accept new clients for web site design and maintenance while we work on special projects under development on our site.

What size is a web "page?"

 A "page" is not as easy to define on the web as it is on a piece of paper, because the measurement is in file size, not square inches.  100K (kilobytes) is commonly used as the page standard. Anything larger than that becomes slow to load, and people will become impatient and may leave your site before the page comes up.

A typical "page" might have 3 good sized pictures and a generous amount of text on it. Pictures gobble up file size faster than text, so if you needed lots of text, maybe a page would have 2 pictures and more text, or a greater number of smaller pictures with the text, etc. As a "rule of thumb," a page will contain about as much as a printed flier, may be 3 monitor screens in length, and take 2 pages to print on the average printer. This should give you a general idea of what you can expect to display on a 100K page. Every designer will have their own standards,  so the above are "rules of thumb."  Just ask to be sure.

Understanding the Hosting Fee

Hosting your pages on most sites is a separate annual fee based on the number of pages in your site.  This fee,  which you might think of  as a "parking fee,"  covers the storage space for your web pages on the server that is connected to the internet.  This is the cost of maintaining web space on a server that does not place other advertising or banners on your pages,  or sell your visitors information to a third party.  The small cost to protect your privacy and receive faster,  hassle-free page loading is definitely worth it.
