Feature 1: WordPress Structuring Techniques that are Fixated on Use

Let’s Enhance Clients’ Satisfaction and the Value of Sites

Including Japan, WordPress is widely been adopted worldwide as the CMS (Contents Management System) by numerous industries. However, if design and implementation are not sufficiently set up at the time of introduction, there is no shortage of cases where all of the great convenience of WordPress is left undeveloped and its use becomes difficult. One value of WordPress as a CMS is speeding up the renewal of contents and shortening the cycle of site PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act). If this cannot be realized, the meaning of introducing such high cost measures will be lost. In order for their clients not to fall into such a situation, we explain the key points that you should pay attention to for designing and implementing WordPress.

aeru_Making Brand Net Shop that Coveys its “Story”

Made using the skills of traditional crafts specialists, the brand “aeru” creates products for kids and babies including true indigo dying, ceramics and lacquerware. Obsessed with brandings, the store’s online shop doesn’t feel all that shop-like with the product’s spec and background page nonchalantly equipped with a Cart. How did they arrive at this means of display? We speak with the representative Yajima Rika and web designer Tsuchida Tomonori about it.
