Almost Done

Yesterday I finished the user manual for the website. I think its fairly simple and straightforward to understand. So now hopefully Lexie will be able to upload all the content onto her site without me holding her hand. But I'm more than happy to help if any problems arise with the uploading of files onto the site.
With the site i also came up against a few problems. The first problem was that the site automatically redirected to the network property group home page. After talking to the hosters, Westnet, i found that there was an automatic server side redirect. Westnet told me that they needed Lexie's confirmation to stop the redirect. They also need to change the server that the site's files are on from a Windows based server to a Linux based one. This will mean that the PHP scripts i used on the site will run properly.
I just reminded Lexie via email to send her confirmation email to Westnet. Hopefully she already remembered...

I also went down to ArtAngel yesterday to see how the banner stand was coming along. Deb said that the stand would hopefully be here by next monday at the latest. Here's hoping. Though Lexie said that she wouldn't need the sign for another two or three months (thank god!).

So everything is on track and hopefully i'll be able to hand over all the print ready designs to Lexie by Wednesday or Thursday this week! Then all I have to do is finish the evaluation of my project and i can compile it and hand it all in to Luke!!!!

Banner Stand on the Way

I went down to ArtAngel on tuesday and gave them my banner stand file. By now they would have already sent the file away, so by this time next week I'll have a shiny new banner stand ready and raring to go! And with all the letterhead designs (except for the fax) completed and in the appropriate PDF format, I am practically ready to hand over the print files to Lexie.

The website's a bit more of a tricky issue. I have finished a working version of the site, but Lexie said that it could take her weeks to come up with the content for it. So what I think I will do is incorporate a small amount of PHP so that Lexie can update the site herself. This way I can create a user manual for uploading to the site. For the moment I will leave dummy text on the site and when it does go live (sometime next week hopefully) I'll have the home page up and runnig and have a "under construction" notice on the rest pages.

Final Designs almost ready

The final versions of the numerous designs have been tweaked and I'm almost ready to hand them over to Lexie. I'm also ready to send of the banner stand and hopefully, assuming the designs get sent off today, the banner will be delivered by this friday or even monday next week.
The website will still be a bit of a problem because Lexie has informed me that it may take her weeks to collate all of the info for the website. I'll talk to Luke about this on wednesday.
