About ND SYSTEMS
An overview of the business, what I handle, the technologies used, and how AI fits into the work.
Business structure
ND SYSTEMS is a sole proprietorship started by Sakamoto Shotaro in November 2025 and based in Kurume, Fukuoka. Bilingual Japanese–English websites are the main focus, with Japanese-only projects also available.
Meetings, project planning, quotations, contracts, invoices, and post-launch training are handled in Japanese or English, with no extra charge for working in English.
Native-language review and specialist third-party integrations may involve an outside professional when appropriate. Any external role and cost is explained in advance, while ND SYSTEMS remains responsible for project coordination and final quality within the agreed scope.
Business background
ND SYSTEMS is based at Nashiyasan, my family's pear farm. I built its official website while taking part in the farm's real sales and shipping work.
After launch, I continue to update varieties, prices, opening days, and availability as the season changes, then review Google search and website traffic data to guide revisions.
Understanding both the day-to-day operation and the information customers check before ordering shapes how I organize content and inquiry journeys for other businesses too.
Areas of responsibility
I handle discovery, requirements, project plans, quotations, scope and price discussions, contracts, invoices, and payment confirmation in Japanese or English. For complex points, I can also provide an English voice explanation when useful.
The work may include information architecture, page structure, organization of supplied materials, bilingual content adaptation, responsive development, CMS or admin features, basic SEO, and agreed integrations such as Meta Pixel.
I support testing and launch, CMS training, and agreed post-launch updates and maintenance. The exact deliverables, including any Google Form creation and ownership transfer, are defined for each project in the quotation and agreement.
What makes ND SYSTEMS different
I listen in English, shape the information for both audiences, and plan the features and editing process needed after launch.
I can discuss content structure, required features, what your team needs to update, and post-launch operations directly with you, not just visual preferences.
Rather than replacing English words with Japanese ones, I adjust the information order, headings, and wording for each audience.
The work considers who will update the site and how it will fit into day-to-day operations after launch.
Operational experience
My experience includes accounting and job costing in shipbuilding, procurement, tourism, international customer support, and process improvement. Across different fields, I focus on how the work actually flows, where decisions become difficult, and what customers often ask, then use that understanding to shape the website content and required features.
Systems used in daily operations
For my family's pear farm, I built the website and have kept it running ever since — updating what is on sale each season and adjusting the content based on search and traffic patterns. That is why I focus on sites that stay practical to run long after launch, not only on how they look at handover.
Technology
The technical setup is chosen around the size of the site, how it will be updated after launch, what admin features are needed, and how easy it will be to maintain. The list below is for readers interested in technical details. Project conversations start with what you want to achieve and do not assume technical knowledge.
AI policy
AI is used to improve speed and review quality in areas such as content organization, translation drafts, coding, and test support. Client communication, requirements, bilingual expression, technical architecture, and operational fit are reviewed by ND SYSTEMS, which remains responsible for the final quality.
The initial consultation is free, online or in person.
