Flowridge Plumbing: Designed and built with WebsiteCreator from its design guide. The copy on the site is fictional.

Purpose

Creates new websites from the Knowledge Base: a design guide for each site, then the pages built from it.

The problem

Copying a reference produces a copy. A new page should draw on several references and on real design range without reproducing any one of them.

What it contributes

Website creation, in the WebWorks line: it writes each new site’s design guide on a set structure of rules, in accordance with the Knowledge Base, and builds the pages from it.

Principal capabilities

  • Data

    Reads the references into labelled sections and plans the new page from the Knowledge Base’s full set of layouts, card treatments, backgrounds and style systems.

    Knowledge Base (KB)
  • Verification

    A plan gate checks the planned page against the Knowledge Base’s range before any build; the build is checked against the plan, and the exported page against the build.

  • Frontend

    Each page is built in React with one measured style system, then exported as static Tailwind markup.

Built with

  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Python
  • Tokens

Implementation evidence

  • Flowridge Plumbing and ARC & MANE, shown in the gallery below, were designed and built this way.
