Ask any questions, request a rough design quote, or make any other inquires. I look forward hearing from you.
I’ll go on vacation tomorrow, to my summer place. We don’t have internet there so you won’t be able to get in touch with me during these weeks. I might go online from some library or something, but it will probably be just to check the mails and keep myself updated on what’s happening. The weather in Sweden is far from “summer-style”, so we might come back earlier than expected if it goes on as it is right now - rain, rain and rain. I’m not sure how i will handle to not have access to internet for such a long time, but some motocross riding and wakeboarding will probably make me forget about it after a while. Wish me good luck with the weather ;), anyway, i will see you all soon again /Alx

Even though we are far from finished with the other pages, we decided to open the new site. I (Alx) am going on holiday for three to four weeks, so we open it now instead. Our goal with the new portfolio v.5 was to make it userfriendly with a few pages, and we also decided to create a tutorial section (we had alot of suggestions about this). So hopefully you will be able to see some tutorials there in a while.
The portfolio page is still as you can see, based on SlideShowPro. We love it because of its simplicity, and it’s easy to add new images and write info about them (which fits us perfectly well cause both of us are really lazy, when it comes to adding stuff to the portfolio). Anyway, we hope you like the new design, even though it might not be as good looking as v.4. But it’s another type of style, what should i call it… something like “clean but eyecatching css style”, that might fit. We hope it’s eyecatching even though it’s pretty simple.
I hope those who saw my (Alx) post on DeviantART about version 5 , think that the coded and improved style is better. I added a dark sidebar to have some more area to “play” on with graphics. The footer and header has also been re-made. Feel free to register and give some comments! Please report bugs through the contact form or by writing a mail to Alx.Designs@gmail.com, it will help us create a better website.

I spent a whole afternoon resizing image to the new slideshow we added to the portfolio page. We decided to use SlideShowPro again because its very nice features - we really love it. However, it was pretty hard to make it look nice on a white background, but we did our best to make it fit. We will update the portfolio more often than we did on the old one, and we are sorry that we didn’t do it on the v.4 portfolio. When we add one or more portfolio objects, you will probably see a news post about it, so you will know when it’s updated or not. Still at least four more pages to go, we will probably not be able to finish all of them before i (Alx) go on holiday, which is in three days. What are you waiting for? Go to the portfolio page and check it out!

Today we began to work with the new portfolio. We decided after some time to use Wordpress as engine, and we will see how it ends up. Right now we can only hope that it will end up as we want. What we are planning is a userfriendly and clean skin which will make it easy for the user to navigate. We also wanted a bit more of the users suggestions and thoughts, so the comment function will come in handy. We also decided to allow registration on the site, so you don’t need to type in all that info as a guest when writing a comment.
Earlier we’ve had problems with advertisement spam, so we will not allow un-registered people to comment. Your first comment will be validated through admin panel, and as soon as it’s done, it will be auto approved, without an admin reading it. Still it’s alot work before it’s finished, and we have a pretty tight schedule.
