#Web Pages?
15 messages in this thread
Hi. My Dad's thinking about setting up a page on the web for his store. I
would like to know if anyone has any experience doing this, and if so how hard
it is? Does it take a lot of extra work? ANd what kind of hardware does it
require?
Thanks a lot
Jason
Jason,
This is a forum mainly oriented to 3D Studio, and supporting/complimentary
software. Although pretty much anything is discussed here. (you name it) You
would find better info in the Internet forums. (go INTERNET)
But briefly, Web pages can get complex, or can be fairly easy, depending on
your skills and tools. INTERNET RESOURCES forum has some WWW page editing
software you may want to look into. If you have Microsoft Word, that may be a
basic starting point. You can get the "Internet Assistiant" for Word either in
Compuserve somewhere, or at the Microsoft WWW site.
You can find software for Windows, Unix, Mac, Dos, and probably a few other
platforms, but special hardware isn't needed. (it's just a fancy text file)
Your Internet provider is the one to talk to about how to set your pages up on
their Web server.
Good luck,
JNJ
thanks i'll check out those forums.

It must be fate. (or is it fatal?)
I happen to do web pages in addition to 3d and 2d print work. I do the graphics
and copy (as needed), and my partner does the HTML and cgi scripting (generally
in Perl or C). We can give you Real Audio support, or even support for QTVR if
desired, in addition to the regular forms and mail-to functions. We can program
to HTML level 1 standards, or go for the whole banana with the Netscape 2.0
HTML Level 3 extensions. We're currently working on pages for Western Digital
and several other firms.
Let me know if you would like further information.

What are the rates for creating a web page?
I was recently asked to do a couple with some simple graphics including hiper
text etc. I don't get paid much but I'm interested, so I'm doing it. However,
I don't want to keep doing it for peanuts if it turns out there are more.
I would appreciate some advice thanks

Thanks for the timely information. VRML export is *exactly* what I needed for a
current project – 3D Studio scene out to Quick Time VR.

The rates for creating a web page. Boy, that's a tough one – it's kinda like
trying to give the rates for doing an animation, etc. . . really hard to do
without knowing the scope and time to be spent.
There are distinct hourly rates for graphics creation and production; for
simple retyping of existing of content versus content creation; a rate for cgi
programming versus straight HTML, etc., etc.

Got it. I guess one just has to estimate the time spent on the various
elements (eg. text, graphics, no. of hyperlinks etc.) and multiply it by hourly
rates. < – it's kinda like trying to give the rates for doing an animation>
-using your words.
Thanks for the tip.

I looks like Choreo Motion is going to be adding this to our list of services.
From what I've found so far, a typical project is broken into two distict
areas: the programming and the graphics. The average rate for programming
I've found to be around $25 /hr (subcontracted, medium complexity work). The
graphics rate is whatever you normally charge for graphics.

Most of the graphics I've seen are just scanned or captured images, unless you
recreate or manipulate them. So far I didn't see anything that would take a
lot of creativity. I also downloaded the VRML file from Autodesk, but I
haven't looked at it yet. How do I get a VRML viewer? And what does it
exactly do? -from the file description I can't really tell.
Thanks,

I am uploading a copy of Tesselation Times #529 to the libs in the "Index &
Info" section under the file name TESS529.TXT. It contains a discussion on
VRML and how to get VRML viewers.
