Looking back, our own website has gone through four major redesigns.
None of them were just about “changing the look.” Each one was a recalibration of how we understand our business, how we choose technology, and what we prioritize in design.
As a team that specializes in deep WordPress customization and brand websites, the last thing we want is for our own site to feel half-hearted. So these four iterations felt more like an ongoing conversation with ourselves: What exactly do we want the website to communicate? What do users actually need? And how can technology serve the business, rather than the other way around?
Version 1: The TITSTUDIO Beginning
Our first website was called TITSTUDIO.
At that time we were more of a studio. The site was relatively basic — the main goal was simply to present our services so potential clients could understand what we did. Visually it was clean, but the brand presence was weak, and performance and scalability weren’t seriously considered.
Looking back now, that version reflected a “good enough to launch” mindset. It fulfilled the basic purpose of being online, yet lacked the mindset of treating a website as a long-term asset. This is where many business websites start — get it live first, figure out the rest later.
Version 2: 2025 Brand Upgrade and the New Domain TiHUBB.com
The real turning point came with the brand upgrade.
We decided to move from TITSTUDIO to TiHUBB and launched the new domain TiHUBB.com. This was more than a name change. It was a clear declaration of positioning: we wanted to focus on delivering websites that create real business value, rather than remaining in a pure studio-project mindset.
In this version we began paying serious attention to brand consistency — visual language, copy, and service messaging all needed to align. Changing the domain also created a strong sense of a new beginning. From that point on, the website stopped being just “our online business card” and started being treated as a brand asset.
Version 3: Tailwind-Based Performance and Experience Rebuild
Once the brand was clearer, a practical problem quickly surfaced: speed and experience were not good enough.
Slow loading and less-than-smooth interactions directly affected how professional the site felt. So we decided to do a full modern frontend rebuild using Tailwind.
The core of this redesign was not a visual style change. It was about elevating performance and maintainability. Tailwind allowed us to build a more consistent design system efficiently while significantly reducing page weight and improving rendering performance. After the rebuild, the site felt noticeably lighter and faster, and future feature adjustments became much more manageable.
That iteration taught me something important: looking good matters, but speed and stability are the real foundation of perceived professionalism.
Version 4 (Current): Astro Full Static Build + Automatic Multi-Language Routing
In this latest version we pushed further toward extreme performance and global capability.
We chose Astro for a full static build approach, turning the entire site into static output. Deployment became simpler and access speed improved again. At the same time, we implemented automatic route detection for multi-language switching, so Chinese, English, and other languages can switch naturally without complicated extra handling.
This version solved two long-standing pain points:
First, the certainty of performance and deployment.
Second, consistent experience for international users.
With Astro, the site became truly lightweight, fast, and predictable. The automatic multi-language routing gave our own platform the ability to properly serve global clients.
Reflections After Four Iterations
These four redesigns made a few things increasingly clear to me:
- A website is a living product. Launch is the starting point, not the finish line.
- Technology choices must serve business goals, not the other way around.
- Design and performance are never opposites — real quality requires both.
- How we treat our own website is how we will treat our clients’ projects.
As a website service provider, we have no right to demand high standards from clients while accepting “good enough” for ourselves. These four iterations have been a continuous process of aligning our own site with the standards we promise others.
Closing Thoughts
The current TiHUBB.com is the version we are most satisfied with so far — but it will not be the last.
The website will keep evolving as the business evolves.
If you are thinking about rebuilding your site, improving performance, adding proper multi-language support, or simply want to exchange notes on the challenges and lessons of website development — feel free to reach out.
We believe this:
A website built for growth should keep working for you, even while you sleep.
