I worked with Tom at Design Tribe on the new Zing Energy website, including WordPress, design, brand, and digital support. Tom was helpful, responsive, and easy to work with throughout. He took a pretty loose brief, understood what we were trying to achieve, and helped turn it into a professional website that gave us a strong foundation to build from. A positive experience overall, and I’d be happy to recommend Design Tribe to businesses looking for practical, professional website and design support.
Tom is lovely to work with; very responsive, committed and genuinely cares about the work he does. He goes above and beyond, is very honest about expectations, and is brilliant at answering any questions is a timely manner. He created a fantastic website for us and really seems to want the charity to succeed. Thanks, Tom!
Tom at Design Tribe delivered an exceptional charity website that completely surpassed our technical expectations, while also providing the creative insight needed to beautifully refine our branding. The new platform has given us the perfect digital foundation to scale our services. We can now effortlessly publish our busy events calendar, manage an automated member sign-up function, feature clear volunteer calls-to-action, and showcase a superb partner directory. Throughout the project, Tom’s design and management processes were highly organised yet flexible enough to accommodate multiple iterations from our small team. Post-launch, we are finding the WordPress platform incredibly intuitive and easy to use. Thanks Tom!

We appointed Design Tribe in Cardiff to help us create our branding from scratch and design/build our WordPress website, including the web development side. Tom was responsive and pragmatic throughout and produced a very fresh and credible brand and website. We now have a solid high quality online foundation for the business as we enter an exciting new year in 2026.
