LUMA Craft

Websites and apps that read naturally in English and Japanese.

I build websites, set up and run social media accounts, and develop iOS apps. I write the English and the Japanese copy myself, and check the two side by side. After launch, I stay on to keep things updated.

What I make

Three things I build

01

Websites

I build anything from a landing page (Japanese only or bilingual) to a bilingual corporate site of up to 15 pages in each language. If you'd like to edit the site yourself, I can add an editing screen for your text and photos.

02

Social media

I set up your profile in English and Japanese, write your posting guidelines and prepare your first nine posts. On a monthly plan, you approve the content calendar before anything gets scheduled. I never ask for your password.

03

iOS apps

Most projects start with a prototype: three core screens, shared through TestFlight. A full build can include content pages, enquiries, member accounts, payments and push notifications. I explain Apple's App Store review requirements at the requirements stage, before anything is built.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. A Japanese landing page is ¥165,000 for one page. For more pages, I'll quote once I know the page count and content.
Yes. The bilingual landing page and small business site prices assume two languages, so for English only I'll quote after our first call.
Yes. A bilingual landing page, small business site or corporate site can have a third language: Spanish, Chinese (Simplified or Traditional), Korean or French. Simplified and Traditional Chinese count as separate languages, so adding both makes a fourth language, which is quoted individually. I write the English and Japanese myself, and an outside translator handles the third language. As a guide, it starts at ¥165,000, and I'll quote once I know the page count and content. A native-speaker check costs extra and is quoted each time.
Yes. I'll set up an editing screen so you can change the text and photos yourself. Corporate sites also come with an update manual. If you'd rather hand updates over, care plans start at ¥22,000 a month, and you can pay monthly or yearly.
I go through the App Store review requirements with you at the requirements stage and build to them. The app is submitted from your own Apple Developer account. If Apple asks for changes, fixes and resubmission are included up to two times. After that, I'll quote separately.
Build fees are paid in full within 7 days of the invoice date, and I start once payment is confirmed. Care and social media plans are also paid in advance: monthly plans by the end of the previous month, and yearly plans by the day before they start. Bank transfer is standard, or I can send an invoice you can pay by card.
