COMMON WORRIES
The scariest part of getting a website built.
A website used to be something you couldn't see until it was finished. That's why these worries keep coming up.
Paying first, then being disappointed
You pay hundreds of thousands of yen, wait weeks, and only see the design once it's done. If it's not what you pictured, changes cost extra. It's the most common regret we hear.
Portfolios only show other people's sites
An agency's portfolio may look great, but those are someone else's sites. What your shop, studio, or company would actually look like? You won't know until you've committed.
Time melts away while you compare
You contact several agencies, sit through meetings, and compare quotes. Months go by, your real work suffers, and you still haven't decided.
All three disappear the moment you can see the real thing first.
OUR ANSWER
So we flipped the order. See it first. Then decide.
Instead of signing and then seeing, you see first and then decide whether to sign. That alone prevents most website regrets.
THE USUAL WAY
- 1Compare several web agencies
- 2Pick one based on quotes and other clients' work
- 3Sit through meetings, then wait weeks
- 4See the design for the first time when it's finished
- 5“This isn't what I pictured…” — but there's no going back
You see it after you've paid.

WHAT YOU GET
What’s in your free preview.
This isn't a rough sketch. It's a real homepage design that, if you like it, we can take all the way to launch. And if something bugs you, we'll make one round of adjustments at the preview stage — free.
Desktop homepage
An image of your homepage as it would appear in a real browser — layout, photo placement, type sizes, all of it.
Mobile homepage
Most visitors arrive on their phones. We design a separate touch-first layout and deliver both together.
Built around your industry and strengths
Not a template with the colors swapped. We start from who you're talking to, what you offer, and how to say it — then build it for your business.
Your preferred look and feel
“Elegant.” “Energetic.” “Trustworthy.” One word from you sets the tone for colors, typography, and spacing.
What would a homepage for your business look like?
See that first.

CLIENT VOICES
What our clients say.
The preview and the finished site are built by the same people, with the same care. (Reviews translated from Japanese.)
They were incredibly thorough and made exactly what we asked for! I knew nothing about websites and asked questions constantly, but they always answered kindly and patiently. The site turned out even lovelier than we imagined.
It was our first website and we left almost everything to them, but they walked us through each step. They also came up with all sorts of suggestions — we're truly glad we chose them.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, start to design.
All you need is this page and LINE. No phone calls, no scheduling meetings.
01
STEP
Answer five questions here and send them via LINE
Your industry, area, main strength, preferred look, and whether you have photos or a logo — plus one thing that shows your business is real (business name, social media, Google Maps listing, or an existing site). Your answers become the message itself, so you just paste it into LINE and hit send. About 2 minutes. No photos or logo? No problem.
02
STEP
We confirm, then deliver your homepage design within 3 business days
We check that the business is real and what you're looking for before we start (if it's not a fit, we'll let you know). You get two images: desktop and mobile.
03
STEP
Look, then decide
Like it? We move to full production and handle everything through launch. Don't? That's the end of it — we won't chase you.
Five questions. Your answers become the sign-up message itself.

WHY IT'S FREE & WHAT COMES NEXT
Why it's free — and what a full site costs.
No tricks, no catch. Here's everything up front.
Why we can do this for free
AI-powered production has dramatically cut the cost of building a single homepage. We put those savings into letting you see the real thing before you sign. Giving you something concrete to judge means fewer regrets on both sides.
Only the people who see it and like it move forward. For us, that’s the healthiest way to work — we only take on projects that are a genuine fit.
LIKE IT? MOVE TO FULL PRODUCTION
We take the preview design
all the way to launch.
Guide prices for taking your site to launch. The final cost depends on scope — you’ll get a formal quote first, and we always tell you in advance if anything would add to it.
- Landing pagefrom ¥110,000
- Full websitefrom ¥220,000
Approximate, tax included. We can also help with running and marketing your site after launch.
THREE PROMISES
Three promises, so you can apply with confidence.
01
The preview is completely free
We'll never bill you afterward. You pay only if you like it and choose to move to full production.
02
Say no, and we won't chase you
“Not this time” is the end of the conversation. No sales calls, no follow-up nudges.
03
No contract, no verbal commitments
At the preview stage, we ask you to promise nothing. Just look and decide.
WHO IT'S FOR
Reserved for business owners who are serious about building a website.
This isn't an open-to-anyone campaign. Each month we set aside production time for 10 real businesses that genuinely want a website. After you apply, we do a quick check, and we may decline if it's not a fit.
CONDITION 1
We can verify your business
A business name, social media account, Google Maps listing, existing website, or business registration — any one of these.
CONDITION 2
You can make the decision
Owner, founder, or the person responsible for the website.
CONDITION 3
You genuinely plan to build a site
You'd seriously consider full production if you like the preview. Not for reference-gathering or fellow web professionals.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
- You run a business (or have a confirmed opening date) and need a website
- You're comparing agencies but can't decide without seeing a finished look
- You'd rather see the real thing before committing
- You'd seriously consider full production if you like it
NOT A FIT IF
- You're a fellow web professional (agency, designer, freelancer)
- You just want design references or a comparison quote
- You have no plans or budget for a website yet
- We can't verify your business
If any of these apply, we may decline at the check stage. It's how we keep the spots for people who are serious — thank you for understanding.
Why only 10 a month
The preview is built with the same care, by the same people, as a full site. Ten a month is the most we can take without cutting corners — so we reserve them for businesses that genuinely plan to build. Once they’re full, we’ll offer you the following month.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free? Will I be billed later?
Yes, the preview is free, and we'll never bill you afterward. The only cost is full production — if you like the design and want us to take it to launch.
If I say no, will you keep contacting me?
No. “Not this time” ends it. We won't reach out to follow up.
Do I get the design files?
The preview comes as desktop and mobile images. Editable files and code are delivered when you commission full production.
I don't have photos or a logo. Is that okay?
Absolutely. As long as we know your industry and what you want to say, we'll build a layout and design that fits. We'll sort out photos and other assets together during full production.
What does the “check” involve?
Two things: that you're actually running a business (business name, social media, Google Maps, existing site, etc.), and that you genuinely plan to build a website. It's not a formal screening — we simply confirm it in the LINE conversation.
Can sole proprietors or pre-opening businesses apply?
Yes. Sole proprietors and businesses with a confirmed opening date are welcome. Just tell us something that shows the business — your trade name, planned opening date, social media, and so on.
I'm in the web business myself. Can I apply for reference?
Sorry, we don't accept applications from fellow web or design professionals, or from anyone looking for reference material. These spots are for business owners who are serious about building a website.
Can I ask for changes after seeing the preview?
Yes. Even at the preview stage, we'll make one round of adjustments for free. If you move to full production, the preview becomes the starting point and we refine colors, photos, and copy to your liking.
Why can you do this for free?
AI-powered production has dramatically lowered the cost of building a single homepage. We put those savings into letting you see the real thing first. We believe handing you something concrete before you sign means fewer regrets for everyone.

P.S. FROM THE FOUNDER
“It’s probably expensive.” “I’m not sure it’ll actually work.” Those are the two reasons most people hesitate on a website. So we decided to show you the real thing first. Skip the sales pitch — look at the design. And if you don’t like it, just say no.
