This is the personal portfolio of the web designers Makis Tracend and Maria Papadimitriou, who've been working on personal and commercial web projects for many years and have provided the online community a series of web applications and internet services.
This version of the site to focuses on the content and presents the work with a more personal touch. You can find samples of the work done throughout the years although note that not everything is included.
Some of the work didn't make it to the portfolio, either because it was scrap work (ex. content updates), not worth promoting, we weren't allowed to show it off for some reason or plainly because we forgot to record it...
We hope you enjoy your stay here and find it easy navigating through the pages. In any case, feel free to send in a note with your comments or other web related ideas you might have.
Thanks for visiting.
Writing original content for each website can be a more challenging task than expected. It is a common situation to have the vision of a website but not the actual content that will be placed in it. We have experience in writing such material. Our scope is to pass the message to the visitor in a clear and simple way, and keep a certain level of grammar intellect.
My long awaited portfolio for my flash-related work is online.
It’s using my very own KISSCMS as a back-end and a collection of PHP, JavaScript and Flash widgets running on the website along with it.
For the visual side, I wanted something minimalistic, and flashy cocky kind of way. I think my “mad scientist look here gives the final touch in that regards 
Here is my web front for submitting my game development work. I aim in producing games that have their own unique character and sometimes extend the lines of game development by introducing new elements never seen before in video games.
For the website I did the custom graphic design, used Template Blocks as the template back-end and wrote the required content. Some additional JavaScript was used to enhance visually the site.
Perhaps I should explain the background I chose as it may seem out of place at first glance. It’s a subtle reminder of the subtitle (Virtual Experience Games) – the scenery is fictional and can replicate itself infinitely, yet it is realistic enough to convince the visitor it is a real city…
I just finalized the website promoting a new script called “Template Blocks”. It’s a visual template engine powered by an interactive AJAX interface and a PHP+MySQL back-end.
This script is released as open source and the first version will be online the following days. The website itself uses the template engine (of course) and apart from that I also created a new graphic design and written all the content.
Hopefully the site will make an impact to the online community – I’ll most likely be submitting posts here for each update released.
For the past month I was mostly fine tuning KDIhost (actually spent two weeks more than scheduled). The old version of the website was perfectly functional but I felt it needed an upgrade after a couple of years of with the same design.
Visually it has a fresh look although based on the same minimalistic concept as the before, with transparent frames and metal buttons. As always the site is standards compliant and has an XHTML front-end.
The big differences are in the functionality of the website with a new user experience build from the ground up. The website may seem more typical now but is also more straight-forward.
Most of my time last week went on this new free service called Feed Anchors, a website that converts virtually any RSS feed into a news broadcast. An introductory video follows:
This item requires the latest version of Adobe’s Flash Player.There was some basic actionscript involved and a careful planning for the sequence of events, as well as designing the visual elements that accompany the whole presentation of the RSS feed. Yet the website is still in it’s beta phase and a lot could be improved/added.
The project itself is interesting because it’s an original idea no one else has tried (successfully) before, moreover a service that could really push RSS onto something more than plain text in the future. And for me the greatest feature is that it scales gracefully to any screen size, so you can use it even on mobile devices, while on the road.
