Have you ever wondered where web developers get the nifty graphics and photographs they use on their clients' websites? Well, here's the answer: SOME web developers steal them from wherever they can find them. Other web developers -- such as WebZar.com, Inc. -- buy their graphics via license from graphics and photo distributors such as PunchStock.

 
Yes, they are expensive. Visit the above site and you'll understand just how expensive. No, we don't own the images, we just license the images. Our vendors place restrictions on how we can use their products. Here's an excerpt from a license we own
 
  "You may incorporate any image into your own original work and publish, display and distribute your work in electronic media provided you include a copyright notice ...as follows: Copyright © 2005 [your name] and its licensors. All rights reserved."

The information contiues on to say that we can provide our clients with a copy of the image as an integral part of WebZar's work product, but that the client cannot use the images separately or as part of any other product. Interesting, yes?

How about the HTML/CSS coding itself? Well, web developers often reuse large sections of their HTML/CSS coding across a wide client base. There are a limited number of ways to code a document. If we "sold" each HTML/CSS coding sequence, we would run out of ways to get our work completed. In short, we retain our right to reusable code. Make sense? By the way, the coding structure is independent of the site's content.

And what about that two-bit word "indemnify" near the end of the paragraph? Well, most of our clients provide us content, such as photographs, logos, letterheads, text copy and more. The indemnify part would help to keep WebZar out of hot water if a third party made a claim against the use of something the client provided.

Well, that's pretty much it. We have no nefarious intentions, we just enjoy doing honest, legal business. Here's another way of looking at the copyright statement: Our statement assures you that WebZar.com, Inc. has purchased the necessary licenses to use the graphic or photographic elements present on your web page. How about that other web developer you're considering? Does he or she protect your interests by using only legal graphics or photos? You might want to ask.

Have a question or comment? Write us an e-mail or give us a call. We'd be glad to hear from you.
