Web Design with Tribe of One Studios is a collaborative journey. As a team we will go back
and forth with you until we get a creation that is just right for your needs. Whether it is a
single page site or one that has multiple links and pages. It may be harder work but we like
to build things from the ground up as opposed to using templates although if there is
something that you like we can adjust accordingly.
Websites will be responsive or at least semi-responsive depending on the program and have
at least 2 variants. There will be a main variant and a mobile variant. More can be added if
needed. For those who do not know what responsiveness is I can walk you through an
example. It basically means that your website will ‘respond’ or adjust to the screen size of
the device they are using. In the upper righthand corner of your screen click the restore
down button and then go to the edge of the window, left or right side, and move it in
towards the other side. As the page narrows you will see that it adjusts every pixel with
some programs or just changes the layout at certain screen size intervals.
The program that we use is Xara Web Designer Pro+. We also have access to WordPress and
have done a site with Squarespace. Each program has its pros and cons. Some are highly
customizable, some offer full responsiveness, others are good for online shops, etc. All
programs provide the basics though and it depends on how complicated you wish your site
to be. Have an idea beforehand of what you want your site to be like. An important aspect of
your site is knowing if it is going to be one which is continually updated with new material
or just a simple site with little to no change once it is complete. Monthly maintenance can be
provided as well as small or large updates.
To get started you should have an idea of how you would like your website be. Is it for a
business? Will it have multiple pages? Is it simply a personal site to showcase youreslf or
creative endeavors? Will it need continual updates? Try to have most of your material
written out and many of your photos and/or videos ready to go. Next you will have to find
and register an available domain name for your website. Try to come up with something
that adequately reflects your site. You will also have to pay a web hosting service to put your
website on. We use Hostgator but you may have another preferred service in mind. We can
provide some help with this and at some point of course will need access to upload your site
when complete and to do any updates.
Here are some example sites that we have done:
This is an educational site with a service. She
wanted it to be simple, reasonably plain and
straightforward to get the information
across. A side navbar was used along with a
light simple colour scheme. The navbar
scrolls with the page and remains to stick at
the top. There are 2 variants for the site,
mobile and 1280p. It was made with Xara.

METABOLIC HEALING ONLINE
This is an information site with lots of
articles and new ones being added over time.
A black background was used to better bring
out the colour themes for the articles and
pictures therein. Colour schemes are used to
match the pictures and articles. Also notice
the navbar is coloured to match the theme of
each page. There are only 2 variants for the
site, mobile and 1280p due to the amount of
work, size and continued additions. Link:
ARCHITECTS OF CREATION
This is an all around site with services,
products and information. It was made using
Squarspace. She wanted that Aloha and
island feel since she is a Hawaii resident. It
has a shop and full checkout for her many
services offered. It is a fully responsive site
and adjustments had to be made in the
sizing of some pictures along the way to fit
the mobile variant properly. Many updates
and pages were added over time. Link:
