Java applets are run on the client side by the browser's built in Java interpreter. Java is a complete and powerful cross-platform object-oriented programming language.
Java servlet programming  
$150
Java servlets run on the server side - a more powerful alternative to CGI \ Perl.
CGI programming  
$125

CGI (Common Gateway Interface) programming allows the end user to access databases on the client's website. We use the Perl and Python scripting languages.

XML  
$125

XML (an extension to DHTML) allows one to embed database information in a webpage in such a way that it can be manipulated on the client/browser side - as opposed to the usual case in which all such manipulations are sent back to the server to be executed - with obvious advantages for both server and connection bandwidths.

Site Traffic Enhancement maintenance is $25 per month per portal page - Maintenance includes SE position tracking.

These annual maintenance contracts include the indicated number of hours per month of effort from any of our services. If additional time is needed in any one month, we allow the indicated additional hours at the indicated rate. Any more time needed within that month will be billed at our standard rates shown above. MediaCraft will accurately log the hours needed to maintain and enhance client's website. No work other than routine maintenance will be done without client's authorization. If routine maintenance plus authorized work exceeds the indicated hours, MediaCraft will bill client accordingly. In any event, at the end of each month MediaCraft will supply to client a log of the hours spent maintaining client's website plus an invoice for any hours in excess of the indicated hours.

Quarterly contracts

Quarterly contracts are similar to the contracts above with a quarterly cost of three times the monthly contracts minus a 10% discount, but note that the base cost is due at the beginning of each quarter. The effort is also measured quarterly - e.g., the standard contract includes 75 hours of effort per quarter (but no more than 120 DHTML pages per quarter) plus 30 hours @ $75 per hour for a quarterly fee of $2160 (a savings of $240). This plan offers advantages to companies with large seasonal projects.

Accumulator contracts

Accumulator contracts are similar to the contracts above but (for an additional charge of 25%) hours not used in one month can be carried over to the next month. However, the contracts are annual and no hours can be carried over from one contract to the next.
