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.

OptusZoo – Restructure

OptusZoo is a successful website in its own right from an established telecommunications provider. It aggregates content from a vast number of sources and combines it with its own unique content, providing it to visitors with an easy to navigate and personalize interface.

I was called into this project to offer technical support on optimization tasks. The goal was for it to be as portable and extensible, as a web platform, as possible. The back-end side of this was already handled by the stellar back-end team and I was assigned the front-end side.

An overhaul reorganizing of the template folder was required, bringing the file structure more close to MVC principals. In addition, the underlying script and configuration files were moved in a central location, which made possible the re-use of the same code by many instances of the platform.
