About Gaelweb

Gaelweb is the web design/authoring project set up in 1998 by Dick Gaughan.

As well as being a professional musician since 1970, Dick Gaughan has been involved with computers since 1983, the Internet since 1991, and started building websites in 1994.

The fundamental principle behind Gaelweb was to build websites in the spirit of the original concept of the WWW, user-friendly sites which present useful information to the visitor regardless of what equipment they might be using or any disability they might have, sites which provide a pleasant experience for anyone to use and easily find the information they're looking for.

If you already understand and agree with that philosophy and are looking for someone to build you a website which does all the above, you'll probably want to skip the rest of this section and go directly to

About the WWW and websites

Every Gaelweb built website comes with a set of absolute, no-nonsense, set-in-concrete guarantees.

Universally Accessible Websites

We guarantee that the information on any Gaelweb built website will be readable by every visitor - that's every visitor - regardless of what computer or browser they use, whether or not they have visual or motor disabilities or how they have their settings configured.

Custom Built Websites

At Gaelweb we do not use templates. We believe that best practise in web design is to build your site from the ground up exactly to suit the unique requirements of your content.

Handcrafted Websites

All pages on Gaelweb websites are coded by hand.

Standards Compliant Websites

All pages on Gaelweb websites are built and validated to comply with the W3C standards.

Search Engine Optimisation

Ignore people who talk about loading keywords and other scams to increase your search engine ranking. There is only one method which works, and that's why Gaelweb use it.
