launch in japan
Develop your brand and identity in Japan
⁄01
Obtaining your first jp domain
Japanese domains such as .jp, .tokyo, .co.jp domains are more recognizable domain names in Japan and are prioritized in search engines. Domain names should describe your business name, product or service and I guide you in properly choosing your domain name and securing your first Japanese domain.
⁄02
website landing page
I create a website with a minimal and modern landing page where you can introduce your business, product, or service. I pay close attention to your desired brand, colors, images and content. In the beginning, I gather information regarding your design requirements and content of the landing page. I use wordpress and modern builders to create your landing page instantly without sacrificing any functionality and design.
⁄03
choose your action feature
Having a call to action (CTA) feature is very important element of your landing page as this is your customer's portal in starting a relationship with your business. This can be a simple newsletter sign up form, a contact form or a booking calendar. The call to action feature differs depending on the service you offer. For example, consultants usually put an appointment booking form while a book seller may want to put a purchase link or a preview button.
⁄04
business cards
Business cards are commonly used in Japan and are almost always exchanged in any business setting in Japan like meetings and conferences. I print your Japanese-sized business cards (up to 100 cards) and have one side written in Japanese (Katakana characters of your name). With business card included in this package, I can reuse graphic elements of your landing page and make your brand consistent in both your website and business card. Once printed, I ship your business card for free anywhere in Japan.
⁄05
seo and site compliance
Search Engine Optimization and website compliance are tasks commonly not included in most website development packages. With my launch in japan package, I make sure your site is optimized by search engine and site compliance such as SSL security, and is compliant with Japanese and Global web standards.
⁄06
website and domain renewals
1 year domain registration and website hosting is included in this package. When it's time to renew, you can either leave the renewal management to me (¥12,000/yr) or I can transfer the domain+website accounts to you so you can manage the renewals on your own (and provide you instructions on how to renew by yourself).
Setup Fee: ¥75,000 (excluding tax)
