As you see, I'm using Grav CMS to build this site. What drew me to Grav is its simplicity, speed, and flexibility. Unlike traditional CMS platforms that rely on databases, Grav is flat-file-based, meaning everything is stored as files. This approach makes the site incredibly fast and easy to manage, especially for developers who want full control over their site’s structure and content.

One of the standout features of Grav is its modular system. It's easy to customize the site, add plugins, and build dynamic pages without getting bogged down in complex configurations. For example, it was easy to adapt Photoswipe for my needs—filtering images by tags—allowing me to create a sleek and organized gallery that improves the user experience.

Moreover, Grav’s powerful Twig templating system lets me fine-tune every detail of the design, and with its active community, there’s a wealth of resources and plugins to extend functionality effortlessly. Whether you're building a simple blog or a dynamic portfolio, Grav CMS offers the perfect balance of power and simplicity.
