Personal Projects

As developing software is one of my biggest hobbies I tend to write a lot of my own technology. Here are some of my latest projects!

Portal CMS

Portal CMS is a free content management technology with an integrated Page Builder. It is the framework that sits behind a lot of my websites.

I built this website using out of the box Portal CMS without writing any bespoke code to make it work.

EyeDentity
