My first portfolio site officially launches tomorrow. It’s my 17th birthday so I thought it would be the perfect time for the launch. At 12pm GMT tomorrow the site will go live with full content for the first time. Thanks to everyone who helped me with the layout, code, fonts and general design of the site and those who complimented the design and motivated me.:kommie: Anyway, that’s the little people out of the way. If any of you pros are overworked, feel free to refer clients to me.:p:
I’ll post the url tomorrow once I launch the site.
Wish me luck.
Paddy

There’s nothing in the index of that url at the moment. So you just get a directory denied message. I’ll change the name of the index page to index.html and then everyone can see it.
Thanks

You’ve seen most of it Krilnon. Basically there’s now just a bit more content. Plus it hypes your site if you have an ‘OFFICIAL LAUNCH’.

Yeah but you gotta hype things. You think GTA would have sold if they didn’t tell anyone till the release date? It’s advertising.

I can imagine that. There’d probably be a lot of violence outside of video games if fans found out it had been released without them being informed.
