Building TecGuru EU: The Foundations So Far

Hey there!
Today, I want to share a behind-the-scenes look at TecGuru EU — how the project started, the work done to make it transparent, accessible, and safe, and what comes next.

Getting Started: The Project

TecGuru EU began as a personal experiment — a space to explore, share, and document digital and educational experiments across Europe.

The goal was never to create a corporate website, but rather a place to experiment openly, with honesty and curiosity, showing how a project can be built and managed step by step.

Security and Maintenance

Even for a small, experimental project, safety is important. TecGuru EU implements:

  • Security plugins to protect the site
  • Automatic updates for core, plugins, and themes
  • Regular backups to safeguard content

These measures ensure the project remains stable and resilient, even as the experiments evolve.

Policies and Transparency

Transparency is a core principle of TecGuru EU. The site includes:

  • Privacy Policy explaining how data is handled
  • Accessibility disclaimers
  • Information pages about the project and the author

These pages make the project trustworthy for visitors and aligned with European regulations, while keeping the user experience simple and clean.

Accessibility Features

Accessibility is an essential part of TecGuru EU. One key feature already implemented is:

Dyslexia-Friendly Font
Visitors can switch to OpenDyslexic, a font designed to improve readability for people with dyslexia.
This setting is session-based, using sessionStorage to remember the preference temporarily — no cookies, no tracking.

This shows that experimentation, accessibility, and privacy can coexist, even on a personal project.

What’s Next

TecGuru EU is still evolving. Upcoming plans include:

  • New content documenting experiments and project updates
  • Additional blogs in different European languages
  • Continuous improvements in usability, accessibility, and transparency

TecGuru EU is a small experiment with big intentions, showing how digital projects can be created, tested, and shared openly.
