What We Do

Macrides Web Services can provide design, creation, updating, and/or maintenance services for your web site, as well as full webmaster services and DHTML software.  Whether you are just starting out in developing a web site, or have a mature site that now needs tender love and care, we are ready and able to make life easier for you.

For prospective new accounts we offer free consultation to discuss your objectives, the graphic and informational design of your web site, and the range of services you desire or require.  We can then proceed to formulating a plan for creating a new site or upgrading your existing site, and/or providing any maintenance or webmaster services you require.

Our services can include any and all aspects of hosting a web site.  For example, beyond the graphic and informational design of your site, we can help you to select a host site provider, to register a domain name, to set up email accounts, and to implement and maintain script support (e.g., JavaScript, Perl, CGI) for dynamic HTML, for an online store, and/or for an online newsletter.  We also can help you get your site indexed into search engine databases so that the rest of the world will find you and visit your site often.

Visit the  Visit Adhesive's sticky web site. web site, which we maintain, as well as the Einbinder Graphics, the Brooklyn Players, and the Paper Beats Rock web sites, for examples of our work.  Keep in mind, however, that web site design is not a One Size Fits All proposition.  The optimal graphic design and presentational style will vary in relation to the host's informational content and target audience(s).  For you, YOUR site should be the BEST of all -- exactly what YOU need and want!!!
 
 
 
Where We Are

Our primary Physical Location is the Astoria (Little Greece) section of New York City. However, thanks to the World Wide Web, our Virtual Location essentially is Everywhere in the World, including where you are right now as you read this.  Whether you are enjoying life in the NYC area or are physically far, far away, we can devote the same tender love and care to your web site as to the others that we currently support. So use the email links or phone number above to make first contact with us, set up discussion of your needs, and assess whether we indeed are ready and able to make life easier for you as a web site host.
 
 
 
Who We Are

Our Founder and CEO is Foteos Macrides (pronounced Pho'-tee-us Mah-cree'-dees).  He prefers the nickname Fote (Pho'-tee).

Our co-Founder and Vice President in Charge of Enthusiasm is his daughter Kalle (Kah'-lee, from the Greek word for Good Girl).

 
 
Foteos Macrides received his B.S. and Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, attended Harvard Medical School, and spent much of his adulthood as a neurobiologist engaged in basic biomedical research.  His research interests included mechanisms of perception and development of artificial intelligence.  In that connection, he became interested in the Internet from the perspective of helping to make this form of electronic communication as accessible as possible to the perceptually challenged.  Largely as a hobby, he spent several years coordinating the development of Lynx, a web browser geared toward use by the blind in conjunction with a screen reader.  That browser became widely used by freenets of that time.  He also became active in development of the HTTP (HyperText Transmission Protocol) and HTML (HyperText Markup Language) standards by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) and W3C (World Wide Web Consortium).

Upon taking an early retirement and moving from Massachusetts to the NYC center of culture, to Enjoy Life and be closer to his daughter, he discovered that workaholism is a hard habit to kick.  Macrides Web Services thus was born, turning what were his hobbies and altruistic pursuits into a now for-profit Labor of Love.

 
 
Kalle Macrides received her B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College, and an M.A. in Performance Studies from the New York University.  One of her graduate courses, Going Virtual, explored use of the Internet as a vehicle for Performance Art.  She thereby acquired an appreciation and sharing of Papa's Passion for this medium.  She enthusiastically encouraged the creation of the current Family Business.

Kalle's primary career activities are as a thespian and theater teacher, but she retains her advocacy and interest in Macrides Web Services.  Between them, she and Papa have all the bases covered -- make the information as clear and accessible as possible, but to get it read and remembered, also make sure That's Entertainment.
