Web Design and Development - Chris Maroudas Portfolio

a bit about me

I'm Chris, and I'm passionate about creating responsive websites using the latest technology available. I'm a 27 year old C.S. graduate, currently living in Athens, Greece.

I like to consider myself 60% developer and 40% designer since I'm a bit more into logical side of things, than presentation, but both excite me and make me happy working with them. My goal is to create responsive sites, that combine strong typography, usability and compliance with web standards.

If you're in need of a new website or redesign an old one, don't hesitate to get in touch using the form below, or just email me.

an overview of my current skills

HTML5

CSS3

jQuery

PHP

MySQL

SEO

Wordpress

Code Igniter

Photoshop

Front end wise, I like using HTML5 with all the bells and whistles it brings to functionality and user experience, alongside the latest CSS3 eye candy available.

On the back end I'm in love with the popular yet strong combination of the latest PHP & MySQL. I used to build every back end functionality with raw PHP, reinventing the wheel with the purpose of learning how everything works behind the curtains.

However after some time, I gave a go at the Code Igniter framework, fell in love with the time savings and simplicity it provided me, and we've been inseparable since.

Lastly, I have a solid foundation of making a place friendly to search engines and accessible to every audience. This year I have also switched to fully responsive, mobile friendly sites.
