What is considered a Page?

10,000 pages, but what size?

This came up as I was negotiating my first written contract the other day. The client has 74 .html files, but some are only a couple of images. People here talk of having sites with thousands of pages. For job size comparison how big does a file have to be to count as a page? This has surely been discussed, but search didn't find anything.

Quite simply, a unique url that actaully shows something is a page.

Granted, a widget.com/coolpicture.jpg may not be considered a page, but anything .htm, is.

For myself, a page is an article or other piece of content, EVEN if the article is multiple "pages" (you have to click next), I still consider it one page.

Images are not a page...

That being said my site has about 80 pages... im going for 1000 within 2 years... wish me luck

Sorry if I wasn't to clear. I should have said .htm files that contained only a couple of pictures, and a <h1>Picture Name</h1>. I'm not confusing an image file with a page.:)

I would say it's a page if you can get it to validate [validator.w3.org].

I avoid using terms like "page" or "article" and charge an hourly rate. If they ask, I ask for "representative" content and sketch some estimates-- that 8K text bulletin in Word will only take X minutes, but that 45K journal article with charts and tables is going to take Y minutes at least.
