  1997 "Andreas WebPalace"

  Wayback Machine is great, embarrassing and a lot of fun... // This is how the layout looked like in 2002. Web site first published 1997. Coded in Notepad, optimized for Internet Explorer...

  I loved to draw as a child, that evolved into computer graphics when I got older. I did DTP (Desktop Publishing) for print before I discovered Web Design. On that road I started programming and when programming I'll go back to the drawing table (or tablet) and first sketch what I want to accomplish! Full circle accomplished :)

  1997-2000 Grafiskt Utbildningcentrum AB

  [...] Professionals don't grow on trees. I did learn things and got inspired by a handful of people. But in all subjects DTP (Desktop Publishing) : Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Quark Express I was on the same level as the teachers as they often asked me for advice... Read more

  Since 1989 G.U.C. has fostered the greatest Graphic Designers of Sweden. (Even if only a handful per year.)

  2008 MODX® CMS

  In 2008 I got introduced to the CMS world when I re-designed a web site running Joomla. Joomla (and most CMS) gives users the ability to inject content into the code Joomla outputs.

  This was horrible and I thought web design was dead and over with. Fortunately for me and my client I found MODX!

  Here is why I consider MODX to be the best CMS in the world:

  1. FREEDOM: You decide how much of MODX You want to inject into Your code. (Reversed roles!)
  2. OOP: Total separation between client-side and server-side code.
  3. GPL LICENSE: Open-Source done right
  4. AWESOME COMMUNITY: Thanks to people like Bob Ray and Susan Ottwell I got inspired to learn PHP!

  2014 WA, USA

   

  Since I packed my bag and moved to USA and The Pacific Northwest :)

  Technology such as VOIP and Skype shortens the distance from Sweden. IKEA's food store substitute many miles.

  Shortest Flight Route is SEA-REK-ARN: 11h // 50m stopover in Reykjavik, Iceland
