Shinsei Studio is a web studio building lean, fast WordPress websites made to last

With us. The websites we build run on our own hosting (in France for Europe, in Asia for Japan), with a CDN for speed. Because we know every installation, updates, security and backups are under control. Hosting is included in the maintenance plan, and your domain name stays in your name: we keep an eye on its renewals. As soon as your website goes live, we hand you a full backup of it: it belongs to you.

No. The build includes the first 3 months of hosting and maintenance for free, while your website settles in. After that, you choose: carry on month to month, with no contract and a price guaranteed for 2 years, or stop. In that case, we move your website to the host of your choice for free.

About 2 weeks for a one-page website, 3 to 4 weeks for a business website and 6 to 8 weeks for an online store, once the content is ready. The exact schedule is set at kickoff.

A website designed to transfer as little data as possible: compressed images, no unnecessary code, few fonts and scripts, responsible hosting. The result: faster pages that rank better and use less energy. How far we go depends on the project: an online store needs great product photos, so we make them lighter without sacrificing them. And if you want to go further, we also build websites with no animations or scripts at all.

Yes. Every website comes with simple content blocks you can edit in WordPress, plus a short training. You manage your texts, images and pages without touching the code.

WordPress is the target of many automated attacks, and most of them exploit outdated plugins. Regular updates, a firewall, monitoring and daily backups prevent most incidents and let us restore the website if something goes wrong.

Yes. We start with a performance, security and accessibility audit, then suggest either targeted optimization or a redesign if it makes more sense. Hosted somewhere else? We can also maintain it where it is, after a free audit.

Yes, it’s one of our specialties. Our own store, DIY District, has shipped from Japan to Europe and the US for years. We know how cross-border e-commerce really works: shipping rates by country or zone, customs declarations and product codes, import duties and taxes (including EU VAT), prices shown in the customer’s currency and a store in several languages. The rules change often, especially in the US: we help you keep up so your customers don’t get a surprise bill on delivery.

Yes, regularly. We provide WordPress support, white-label if needed, from your designs and within your processes.

Yes. We are based in Kyoto and work remotely with clients in Europe, North America and Asia, in English or French, and in Japanese for projects in Japan.
