About

ELDANOR is a web design & developer studio founded by Tamas Gal. We create easy to use, accessible, handcrafted interfaces balanced with a standards-based methodology. We develop websites for internet and web applications for intranets also. We are very close to the heart of Europe in Budapest, Hungary.

We belive that nothing is impossible.

The company

ELDANOR was borned when one of the biggest European media company called Sanoma bought the PDAMania.hu website.  PDAMania was estabilished in 2001 to help people using mobile devices especially PDAs, GPSs, PNAs and smartphones. The website was a totaly self designed and self developed by Tamas continuously 5 years. That gives the experiences – besides other related duties – to make a web design & developer company.

Now we design and build clean, usable, and attractive interfaces and complete websites that account for speed, file size, readability and accessibility — using web standards. Learn more about our services and  completed projects, or get in touch to talk about how we can work with you.

In addition to design and development services we did a lot of English to Hungarian professional translations – device user guides (PDA, mobile phone, smartphone, etc), and software interfaces. If you need this kind of service do not hesitate to contact us.
