Peace for ALL mankind. May ALL live in dignity and with mutual respect for any religious, natural and ideological differences. Viewing from space, war, greed for money and power as well as other crime on Earth look so meaningless... just as it is. Remember the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan and other places before when ten thousands lost their valuable life. This is a good reason to cease all hostilities and work hand-in-hand as a friendly global community. If we do not learn from history, then history will repeat itself and escalate until we are all down to the lowest level of what some call humanity.

Requio Web Design is a freelance studio in Okinawa, Japan, specializing in the construction of websites for individuals and small to medium size companies or organizations. Unlike most service providers, I do not claim to be the best in the market nor do I top in all fields. Nobody does. However, if you are in need of a simple but modern, comprehensive, easy-to-navigate web site for your business (including online shops), public outreaches or academic purposes I will be able to assist.

Inquiries about web sites with illegal contents, such as adult, violence, racial and criminal, as well as sensitive contents such as religious, political, military, legal and medical will be rejected in the first place.

Advertisement links and share links to "social networks" only supported if under my control and after confirmation of the nature of the linked sites. In most cases, linked sites are neither under my control nor under my client's.

My main area of my web design expertise is in electronics, optics, astronomy, general science, accommodation, tourism and environmental issues. I may therefore have a strong understanding of the technical aspects and applications of the products and services you sell, while I am quite capable of working independently with a minimum set of instructions whilst fully honoring my clients' wishes.

I can handle texts in English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese.

For those familiar with editing websites I offer design of customized templates and/or installation of CMS, currently supporting WordPress, which can be so configured as to provide the look and feel of a web site rather than a blog page. Further reading...

Friendly and relaxed project correspondence by email - no travel expenses, no extra time for meetings. You can therefore expect a high level of responsiveness and fast turn-around, even on weekends and holidays. In Okinawa, all days are of the same feel.

Please appreciate that the designs also reflect my client's wishes. Most of my clients are maintaining their sites by themselves introducing changes to the original layout and design -- eventually with catastrophic results, the worst of which not listed here.

WordPress is an open source Contents Management System (CMS) originally designed for blog pages. Thanks to its highly configurable concept it can be modified so as to give the pages the look and feel of a typical, say, company website by eliminating blog related elements, such as comment fields, archives, categories, etc.

The user interface for editing pages (text modifications, insertion of images, etc.) is relatively simple and easy to use for those with little experience in writing HTML code. In other words, WordPress is the ideal choice for those who wish to maintain their new website in-house without major design changes.



WordPress requires a server environment that supports the server-side scripting language PHP and mySQL database. Most internet or web hosting providers offer PHP and mySQL as part of the hosting package, while a few even allow automated installation of WordPress from the online control panel.

Pages are typically edited online and any changes are saved directly to the server in that no manual FTP transfer to the server is required.

Requio offers:

1. Installation of WordPress on your server
2. Removal of unwanted blog elements
3. Theme (website template) design or adaptation of an existing site
4. Insertion of contents
5. Full compatibility and functional test

After this, you simply log in to your WordPress account and edit at will. From this point on, Requio can no longer offer warranty for client-made changes of site contents and settings which is naturally beyond the control of third parties.

Please note that WordPress does not currently support multiple websites, i.e., one installation of WordPress in a given directory is good for one web site. For a second site, another copy of WordPress needs to be installed into another directory to accommodate the site. This is no big issue, since modern web hostings provide web spaces in gigabyte capacities, while a some even offer unlimited space and traffic.
