Portfolio is a modern, bilingual Personal Portfolio designed with a focus on clean UI and great user experience. The project started as a blank canvas in Figma and developed into a complete, responsive website. It is designed to display your skills, projects, and contact information clearly and attractively.
The website supports both Greek and English languages, making it suitable for a wide audience. It uses technologies like CSS3, PHP, and WordPress to give you a customizable and professional online presence.
