What Photoshop standard actions are you using before uploading to site?
For example, some may need more contrast, others more saturation, and etc.

The key to good editing is the ability to see in advance what the image requires. It will speed up your post work tremendously. I can edit hundreds, or even thousands of images, in a few minutes using RAW.

But after that I assess the photos one by one or in groups of similar lighting. I follow the expose to the right exposure strategy when I can, and sometimes I push my DSLRs in very low light. So I don't expect my raw file to come out of the camera always looking like the finished photograph. Exposure may need adjustment. White balance and contrast are almost always adjusted. There are a lot of different ways to adjust contrast in ACR, Lightroom, and Photoshop. I like curves the best, but will also use other methods. Other available tools are used as they suit the photo. I was a darkroom geek, and the adjustment brush in ACR is almost irresistible.
I'm usually happy with the typical sharpness settings I always use, but I adjust when needed. 
Hope you never have to edit a 1000 pics, robbie. whew....
FYI more contrast == Curves, more color = Saturation. Those are the two I use most.
