OT- Inherited Site Horror Story

A

Adrienne

I just had to share this.

I recently got http://www.mendozagomezdiaz.com. I got it because it was
not doing _anything_ in the search engines.

When I talked to one of the owners today and asked for verbiage, she said
she was going to copy and paste from the site. Of course, I told her that
wasn't possible because the entire web site, I mean the _entire_ website,
is images - no text whatsoever.

Apparently, the site was originally a Power Point presentation, so they
must have just dropped the slides into the editor (Freeway Express for the
Mac). The owners are going to see if they can get ahold of the PP, if not
I'm going to try OCR, and if that fails, I guess its two windows open and
type what I see - good thing I used to be a wire operator at Dean Witter, I
type really fast.

(c) 2005 - it's only a new site!

As long as you're charging by the hour, it doesn't matter how long it
takes. ;-)

Depending upon how many pages there are, if it's a relatively small
site, whipping out the characters as text with your fingers may actually
be a benefit. You can set <p>, <ul>, <ol>, <table>, etc. as you go. Then
format and menu them later.
Of course, that really, really depends on how many pages there are ;-)

There's 15 pages, not that many really, but HTML-Kit has a nifty plug in
that pastes formatted (p,li,etc). You know how it is, just gotta use that
new tool.

You've obviously got it covered at fifteen pages regardless. Unless the
pages are scrolls. I always charge a dollar more for scrolls.

Where? I can't find it on the site, and I can see that it would be very
useful.

What's a "scroll"? Obviously it's not much, of you're only charging an
additional 60p.

Why a scroll is any page that scrolls vertically past the main viewport
regardless of it's size. I really have to put more smileys in my posts.
I deduct three bucks if my markup forces people to use a horizontal
scroll :) :) :)
