Bilingual work

Who it is for

I'm a web designer and developer based in Japan, and I build my own site in English and Japanese.

  • Businesses in Japan

    Restaurants, shops and services with foreign residents and visitors.

  • Foreign-run businesses

    Run your business in Japan with a site that works for both sides.

  • Reaching Japan

    Overseas companies that want Japanese customers to trust them.

  • Recruiting

    Job pages for international and Japanese candidates.

Done properly

  • A page per language

    Its own address for each language, so both appear in search.

  • Search engines told which is which

    Language tags (hreflang) link each page to its translation.

  • A clear language switch

    One tap to the same page in the other language.

  • Written, not machine-translated

    Copy that reads naturally to each audience.

  • Local details

    Addresses, phone numbers, prices and dates in the format people expect.

  • Edit both languages

    An admin area to update text, menus and prices in either language.

Everything else a business site needs

  • Tap to call or book

    On every page, in both languages.

  • Online ordering

    For restaurants, in English and Japanese.

  • Google and AI search

    Structured data and fast pages in both languages.

  • Visitors and enquiries

    See which language your customers use.

Questions

Why not just add a translate button?

Machine translation reads awkwardly, and search engines usually don't index it as a separate language. A page per language reads naturally and can show up in search.

Do you write the Japanese and English text?

I can prepare both from your material and keep the wording natural. You approve every page before launch.

Can I update both languages myself?

Yes. The admin area lets you edit text, menus and prices in either language.

Do you work with businesses outside Japan?

Yes. I'm based in Japan and work remotely with clients worldwide, in English or Japanese.

How much does a bilingual website cost?

It depends on the size of the site and its features. Every project gets a fixed quote in writing before work starts. No hourly surprises.
