Who are we?

This is the UK Theatre Web (UKTW) the definitive WWW guide to professional and amateur performing arts (mainly theatre, or possibly theater if you're American or theatr if you're Welsh) in the UK.

This service was started originally as a part-time hobby on 14th February 1995. It moved from its original address to its current server during October 1995.

The main goals of this server are;

To be useful
To be useable
To be up-to-date (don't you just hate it when people don't maintain the information on their pages!)
To be responsive (e-mail us)

This server is listed in the PCW Best of British Web Sites, the .net Directory Best of British and is in The Point top 5% (see logo at top of page). Selected as one of the world's top 25 Arts and Entertainment sites by IWAY … more details later this month! The pages are Netscape 2.0beta enhanced but Mosaic and Internet Assistant friendly. UKTW first appeared in the listing in Internet magazine in the September 1995 issue. Our initial press release was picked up in a number of place including The Stage (26Oct), the Guardian (26Oct) and BBC Radio Oxford (interview, 18:30, 30Oct).

How do we do it

Using a database built in Access running under Windows 95 and generating HTML pages directly as output. Non-listings pages are created by hand using either text editors or HTML editors.

All pages are checked with both Mosaic and Netscape. Java enhancements have been tried on some pages, but we'll wait for more people to be able to view them!
