be honest…

Is Your Website scaring away potential clients?

Japanese web design is unique.

But what happens when you mostly work with Western clients?

Suddenly the design style that works so well for Japanese clients, overwhelms and confuses your clients. You’re scaring away dream clients and losing sales.

You need Western style web design.

But hiring a designer who doesn’t understand the unique needs of businesses in Japan isn’t going to cut it either.

The solution?

A designer who knows what it’s like to live and work in Japan, but builds website that won’t overwhelm and turn off Western clients.
