We convey all technical terms and subtle nuances present in the original with language that is easy to understand for Japanese readers, and we craft webpages with colors, layouts, and images that suit Japanese tastes. Using the insights that we have gained as a translation company, SunFlare delivers websites that can lead your company to success in business within Japan.

Website assessment
We have an extensive track record in assessing websites from many different perspectives, such as with heuristics and general user ratings on web usability, or by evaluating any existing translations of a company's website. SunFlare’s pool of some 6,000 talented individuals allows us to provide information on how your website will be perceived in several different countries.
Access analysis and suggestions for improvements
We conduct analysis on access rates according to the KPIs for your website. For example, if the primary objective for the website is to generate leads from inquiries, we will check that a suitable flow is provided in the site for getting to the contact form. If some users are found to leave the site without using the contact form, we will consider measures for improvement and offer appropriate suggestions regarding the design of the website. Even after the initial design of the website has been completed, we will continue to conduct repeated iterations of analysis and improvement, in order to achieve even greater results from your website.

Types of website services Types of website services

When creating a website in Japanese for example, there are many possible approaches that can be taken, depending on marketing tactics, budget, and production schedule. At SunFlare, we hold consultations with our clients, taking careful note of their requirements and offering advice on the ideal solution to meet their needs.

Fully localized websites
With this solution, we provide Japanese versions for all pages present in the original site structure. We will localize the site’s content and layout to suit Japanese culture and conventions. Many of our clients choose this solution as the first step toward creating the Japanese version of their websites.
Websites with localized content
This solution is ideal for websites consisting of a select number of pages serving as a digest of the original site. Many of our clients choose this option when preparing to roll out their products and services in Japan, or when they are still in the early stages of conducting operations in Japan. This option is also useful for companies that need to design a barebones Japanese website at a low cost to coincide with their appearance at an event held in Japan.
Branding websites
Through this solution, we create websites that can greatly contribute to branding and marketing strategies within Japan. This kind of website is often seen in brand-building pages that focus on a single product, or pages that showcase a service.
Small-scale websites
This solution caters to companies looking to develop unique services aimed at Japan. In this case, we will localize part of the content featured in your website to suit Japanese users, while retaining the original site structure.
