Ekiten, a store review and ranking website operated by Design One Japan Co., Ltd. (CEO: Yasuo Takabatake, TSE Standard 6048), has begun selling an optional product that allows users to create official websites for stores listed on Ekiten.
■ What is the official website creation option?
Recently, many small and medium-sized businesses and independently owned stores have been facing issues such as the time-consuming and expensive nature of creating an official website. As a result, many stores have given up on creating a website. However, in today's rapidly evolving online world, having an official website is essential.
In response to this situation, we have decided to offer a new optional service that allows you to directly link the store information listed on Ekiten to your official website. With this service, information edited on Ekiten will be reflected on your official website. This greatly simplifies the complicated update process, allowing anyone to easily maintain and update their official website, even without specialized knowledge.
■Contents of official website creation option
This function is available to businesses that are paid store members of Ekiten and can be used by applying. After applying through "Increase Access" in the store member navigation, select the design and URL of your official website from the questionnaire form and submit your answers. We will then create and publish your official website based on the information you provide.
- Create a homepage with simple operations
The information posted on Ekiten can be reflected directly on the official website, making updates easy and quick. - Customize design templates and colors
Choose the design that best suits your store from three templates and six colors. A design that matches the store's image and target audience will increase customer attraction. We plan to add more templates and colors in the future. - Obtain your own domain
You can set an original domain (your own domain) for the URL of your official website. For example, by including your store name, such as "○○(store name).com", you can strengthen your branding and increase your credibility. - Low cost and hassle-free
It is cost-effective as you can launch a high-quality official website without incurring expensive initial production costs.
By providing an environment where stores can easily set up and maintain their official websites, we hope to help more stores increase their online recognition and credibility, thereby helping to attract more customers and increase sales.
