Localization Strategy → EC Website Creation for Kitchen Knife Sales

Multilingual EC Website Creation for Japanese Knife Store
Building a fast, multilingual e-commerce site for a Sakai-based kitchen knife store, boosting traffic and international sales through Shopify and Webflow integration.
Disjointed Website Structure
The client had multiple fragmented websites for recruitment, company info, and e-commerce, causing brand inconsistency.
Unified Website Experience
We consolidated the fragmented platforms into one unified website with clear language separation and consistent branding, improving both navigation and user trust.
Poor SEO and Mixed Language
English and Japanese content were combined on the same pages, confusing users and hurting search rankings.
Language-Specific Pages and Optimization
We created separate pages for each language, optimized metadata, and increased page speed to improve both SEO and user experience.
Unappealing Site for Global Users
The site design didn’t resonate with overseas audiences and lacked a smooth product browsing or purchase flow.
Global-Friendly E-Commerce Design
We linked Shopify and Webflow to deliver a streamlined shopping experience that appeals to both domestic and international buyers.
Inability to Update Product Pages
The client couldn’t update product listings in-house, leading to outdated content and a backlog.
Scalable, Editable Content System
We provided a simple editing system and localized templates using native translation, allowing staff to update listings with accuracy and ease.

Page views and clicks tripled after launch thanks to better structure, language targeting, and technical improvements.
Higher International Inquiries
The English site saw a surge in inquiries, thanks to faster load times and improved navigation for global visitors.
Improved Customer Experience
