About Us
In 1999, Darryl Parker founded Parker Web to build web sites for small businesses. By 2008, Parker Web had earned the trust of enough ongoing clients to justify development of a robust system for handling maintenance and support requests. This dedicated system proved to be such a helpful tool in a previously overlooked service niche that by 2012 Parker Web had transitioned completely to website maintenance services.

Corporate Purpose

How Parker Web defines “best” in website services:

Accountability – we will operate with utmost integrity in our service delivery, billing and time management processes and provide the maximum transparency to our customer.
Appreciation – the relationship with our customer is of paramount importance and we engage with humility, interest, appreciation and acknowledgement of the honor they give us.

We like talking on the phone with you about your website problems and goals. We are very good at helping you get things done on your website.
Darryl Parker
“Small business is my art, my hobby and my passion. I take every opportunity to work with small business owners and assist them in their growth.”
In 1996 after spending several years in retail customer service positions, I started building websites. 12 years later in 2008 I saw an opportunity to help people protect their past website investments by creating active maintenance programs that keep websites fresh and relevant and began to move my company in that direction. Today Parker Web is one of the leading providers of website maintenance and website management services for small to mid-sized businesses. Darryl has a BS in Information Technology (BSIT) from UML. When not working at Parker Web, Darryl is actively involved in his community and in 2012 was awarded the University’s Medal for Community Service by UML. He is a graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program at Babson College and currently works each semester at Babson College as a Business Advisor with the program helping businesses across the country find paths to growth. Darryl currently lives in Warner, New Hampshire.
Patty Greene
“It is a pleasure to solve problems and find easier ways to do challenging things.”
Patty has been working in the administrative/programming field for over 30 years. As the operations manager for Parker Web, Patty assures work is done correctly and quickly and provides expertise in .NET application development. When not sitting at her computer, Patty can be found behind a microphone either singing at church or as a Square Dance Caller. She calls and teaches modern western square dance and records regularly on the premier square dance music label. She and her husband Steve are transplanted New Englanders living in Monroe, NC.
Kristin Eldridge
Kristin has been a certified Webmaster since 2013 and has continued to take supplemental courses since then, adding to her skill set.
She has lived on the East Coast – NH, MA, and CT, the West Coast – CA , OR, and now Central – Austin, TX. Austin is not only the live music capital of the world, but also the home of WordPress. So along with going to concerts, she likes to attend WordPress meetups to stay on top of the latest developments.
Her hobbies of gardening and photography transfer well into her work. She likes taking part in helping businesses grow. Her favorite thing to do is technical SEO – making sure sites are running optimally. She has also been known to take pictures to use in websites
Kim Lamison
Kim returned to the workforce in an Administrative and Accounting position as our Business Manager after being a stay at home mom for 15 years. She is a former Army Brat, originally from North Carolina, but has lived in seven states and Europe. Her diverse upbringing is helpful when communicating with our clients, especially since she has lived in many of the states in which our clients’ businesses are located. For fun, she enjoys anything having to do with and being in or around the water. She’s an avid reader and recently learned to knit. She is also a lover of all animals, having grown up around them and currently have 4 rescues who live a charmed life with her.
Amanda Brenes
“I’ve always been a problem solver.”
Amanda graduated from the Art Institute of Charlotte with a degree in Interactive Media Design and won Best Portfolio in her class. She landed her first full-time job in web development right out of college.

Guess what? We’re ok with that. We made a quality versus quantity decision in 2008 and it has been a pivotal point in our growth in a down economy. We did let the CBJ know they may want to change their thinking on how they rank this list considering our revenues and client counts put us easily in the top 10 of local firms. 😉
