Although a very simple and easy-flow page, the code that produces this page is quite inundated with bogus and unnecessary tags, making editing the text a little more time consuming. There was also some difficulty trying to ascertain what some of the more obscure sentences were trying to say.
Work Performed
As an example, only a section of this page has been reviewed and edited, All non-graphical text was reviewed and edited, producing a page more understandable and acceptable by Western readers. Spending more time could improve the content of this page further, but the simple improvements already made will certainly improve the acceptability of this site to foreign visitors.
- Plural and singular words corrected.
- Sentences rephrased to improve flow.
- Unusual words and phrases replaced with more common ones.
- Obscure meanings and references clarified.
- Grammar and tenses corrected.
- New content proof read.
As discussed on our Levels Of Service page, varying amounts of time can be spent on proofing the improved content. Most customers prefer speedy proofing to save cost, so occasionally there may be some small errors in the content of this page. Customers tend to think that small mistakes are more acceptable compared to the errors in their original content.
Cost & Timing
The work to update the text on the example page took approximately 30 minutes, including time to slow-read proof the new content. This took a little longer than expected due to the large amount of unneeded HTML code, and some sentences which were quite difficult to understand. This means that it would be possible to improve much more content than what is shown in the example per hour for the charge of 700bht per hour.
A discount of 50bht per hour can be given for including our logo, for at least 12 months, on any website page improved by us. Also, for an additional 50bht per hour, we can download your web-pages directly from your site, and upload them when complete.
