Stats

Working on compiling useful web statistics for my sites. Info such as page views, number of visits and referrers can give a real insight into the two crucial bits of information about your site. How your site is being used and how people are finding you.

Are you paying an expensive subscription to a business listing site? If so, you need to know exactly how much traffic they are driving to your site. If that's not much at all then you can question the value of their service to your business.

CMS

Got a prospective new client with a requirement for some self management. Looking at drupal again as a possibility for a CMS due to its ease of use.

Exporting a psd to pdf for print

Been updating the business card design for Sarah Bowden at smart-temp. I created the original photoshop psd as portrait document 6.1cm by 9.1cm standard business card size. To get the required printing resolution that needs to be at 944.882 pixels per cm (or 2400 pixels per inch in old money).

In photoshop cs2 I then selected Print with preview and selected the following options.

Then click page setup and then printer. In the printer box choose adobe pdf as the printer tne then click properties.

In the Adobe PDF settings tab choose High Quality Print as the default settings. And away you go.

Feedback

Still waiting on feedback on my latest sites before I can proceed. In the meantime, enjoy some Duffy

Good clean fun!

I've been working on another project for a Newport based accountancy firm. I've gone for a very clean design on a white background. Still a work in progress so some of the content doesn't match (I copied it from this site) but you can get the idea. http://root.sjinfosystems.co.uk/oneonone
