about
This is Eoghan's old web design site. His new (but temporary) site can be found here.
Eoghan McCabe is an award-winning freelance web designer from Dublin, Ireland who provides custom web design and development services to small and medium sized Dublin companies. Contact Eoghan.
Design enthusiast Eoghan McCabe prides himself in the attractive, effective and thoroughly usable web sites he creates. When he's not busy whipping up exciting web pages for his clients, he studies Computer Science at Trinity College, Dublin. After spending much of his useful time since 1998 — a long time ago in Internet-years — perfecting his skills in the field of web design, he's ready to bring his clients where the Dublin design industry has thus far never dared: into the world of web standards.
eoghan's philosophy
Eoghan is of a new breed of web designers that believe in web standards.
Web standards are shaking up the design community like never before. Web standards detail the correct way to build a web page which results in many practical benefits — pages that are lighter, faster, easier and cheaper to build and maintain, accessible to all and pages that will stand the test of time as technology evolves. Read more.
Eoghan is a web design fanatic, and with this comes the passion that others just don't put into their work. He follows the guidance of the top gurus in the design community and believes that web sites can be designed to be both intuitive and beautiful. He sees the appallingly poor quality of Dublin's newest web sites, and it breaks his heart.
Eoghan's philosophy includes nine promises to you, the potential client.
Satisfaction — Above all, customer satisfaction is guaranteed.
Usability — Your site will be perfectly intuitive and user-friendly. It will allow your visitors to find the information they need quickly and with whatever browser they choose to view it on.
Quality — Your site will soar above others with design and technical superiority. It will impress and engross your visitors.
Accessibility — Your site will be accessible to all, regardless of the disabilities/abilities of your visitors.
Value — Eoghan’s one-man design studio does not have the overheads of larger design groups. With Eoghan, you pay only for the high-quality design work and the directly-related costs like domain registration.
Pricing Ethics — All pricing is completely transparent — there are no hidden fees. There is no profiteering. Eoghan’s charges are based on industry standard prices.
Client Involvement — You will be kept in the loop at all stages of the development process and your opinions, desires and concerns will always be taken seriously.
Experience — Your site will reflect the vast experience that Eoghan has gained from over seven years of building web sites.
Passion — Eoghan loves his work. You can be sure that when a job is done, Eoghan is proud of it.
