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.
