Most bilingual websites are an English site with a translation bolted onto it. You can tell immediately, and so can a Japanese reader.
I work in both languages. That means the Japanese version of your site is built as its own thing, with copy that reads as though it was written in Japanese, because it was reviewed as Japanese rather than checked against the English.
Who this is for
Consultants, advisers and independent experts working across Australia and Japan, or into Japan from anywhere. If part of your credibility rests on being genuinely able to operate in both markets, a half-translated website quietly undermines it.
What is actually different
Both languages are first class. A visible language switch, not an auto-redirect on IP address. Readers choose, and the choice is remembered.
The Japanese is reviewed as Japanese. Tone, register and word choice checked natively, not machine translated and hoped for.
Layout that survives the switch. Japanese text sets differently to English. Line lengths, headings and buttons are built to hold in both, not to break in one.
Set up correctly for search. Language versions get their own URLs and hreflang, so Google serves the right one.
How it is priced
Bilingual is an addition to a build, not a separate product. On a single page build it is a fixed add-on. On a multi-page build it is quoted to scope, because more pages means more of both languages, and I would rather price what is actually there than guess.
Why me
I am based in Sydney, I work in English and Japanese, and I have spent 20 years in tech across product, sales, marketing and comms. The Australia and Japan corridor is the part of this I am genuinely hard to replace on.
Plus, every build starts with the 60-Second Homepage Audit: a short video of me walking your real homepage, three fixes, and a rebuild roadmap. US$199, refunded if it tells you nothing new, credited in full against a build.
