Mortfiles Evolved

Jumpstarting with Active Collab

// June 23rd, 2009 // Comments // Development

Although the new design is still far off (well, maybe not that far…) I invested in Active Collab today that will act as the project manager for Mortfiles Evolved.

The reason is quite simply that I need a projectmanager that works well right away as the old one is not working the way I want and its quite honestly a bit depressing to use…Active Collab is something I have looked at for well over a year, but never really had the drive to get, but now as I am rebuilding and rethinking my entire worksituation I felt it was time even if the cost was…not the best timing

I will leave it in its basic state for now while I fokus on more pressing issues, like getting the 3 webprojects I have setup and ready to go and fokusing on my PHP and Javascript classes. In the fall though it will be redesigned and merged into Mortfiles Evolved.

Mortfiles:revised

// June 22nd, 2009 // Comments // Development

Its been a while now since my last re-design of Mortfiles and to tell the truth its getting a bit bloated and unfocused, which is not exactly promoting sales and its holding me back from getting creative.

In order to fix this I am starting a project where I will rebuild Mortfiles to be a more focused project that IS focused on business and not as a playground for my mad ideas. This project will also merge Mortfiles.com and Mortfiles.se into one dual language website using Wordpress as backend. The new design will be more focused on sale and it will take advantage of JQuery to make things easier and better looking.

I am also going to work with WHMCS to build a better orderform to make things a whole lot nicer, which is something that I have put off for a while now as my heart has not really been in it. The WHMCS package is still the best for the job, but I will now merge the two installations into one, which means dual languages and dual currency setup.

I am going to change the project manager for Mortfiles Evolved and will go for Active Collab instead as I find it more intuitive and nicer in design to work with. I will rework it a bit to make it even more awesome, both through design and hopefully by extending it with some modules down the road.

Right now I am in the scribbling phase where I poke design thoughts and try to figure out what should go where and why, but hopefully it will come together soon enough.
