What is the difference between the template plan and the full custom plan?

Template PlanThis plan customizes an existing Webflow template to match your brand. It allows you to build a professional website while minimizing costs and turnaround time. It's recommended for those who want to 'launch quickly' or 'keep the budget low.'

Full Custom PlanThis plan begins with a consultation to create multiple design proposals, building an original website perfectly aligned with your company's brand image. By following a process of wireframing, Figma design, and Webflow development, we can achieve a website with greater flexibility.

When providing an estimate, we can also present both options.

What are the advantages of Webflow compared to WordPress?

It excels in three main areas.

Security: WordPress often faces attacks targeting plugin vulnerabilities, requiring regular updates and security measures. Webflow, being managed hosting, eliminates the need for server management and applying security patches.

Page Speed: Webflow isbuilt on AWS + Cloudflare CDNfor hosting, ensuring fast loading speeds from anywhere in the world. In many cases, Core Web Vitals scores are also significantly improved.

Operational Costs: WordPress incurs separate costs for server fees, plugin license fees, and security measures. Webflow's monthly plans include hosting, SSL, CDN, and security.

‍

The admin screen is in English, but can we operate it ourselves?

Yes, you can operate it. At Booost, we create a Japanese operation manual upon delivery and also provide training via screen sharing.

The operations you'll use daily are just three: text editing, image replacement, and blog posting. We will provide you with a manual that explains these steps one by one, so even those who are not comfortable with English can use it without any problems.

Additionally, you can localize the administration screen into Japanese using a Chrome extension developed by our company. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/efenpjcceehojemnphkinocffloghhon

Should you ever encounter any difficulties, we will provide support within the scope of your maintenance contract.

How much does website development cost?

Pricing varies based on factors such as the number of pages, design complexity, CMS integration, and multilingual support. We will prepare a detailed quote after our consultation, so please feel free to contact us.

Please note that the monthly fee for your Webflow account (hosting) varies depending on your chosen plan. We will propose the optimal plan during our consultation.

Can we provide a design and have you build it in Webflow?

We accept requests for Webflow development only. We support various design file formats, including Figma, XD, Canva, and AI-generated designs.

After reviewing your design data, we may suggest minor adjustments to optimize reproducibility within Webflow. The final delivery will include CMS setup, GTM/GA4 implementation, and basic SEO settings.

What is Webflow?

Webflow is a no-code web development platform used by over 3.5 million websites worldwide. It requires no programming, yet offers the same design freedom as code-based sites.

Unlike traditional no-code tools (such as Wix or Jimdo), Webflow is designed as a tool for professionals to create professional-grade websites. It also includes CMS (Content Management System) functionality, allowing clients to post blog entries and edit text themselves after delivery.

What's the difference between using a template and starting from scratch?

The Template Plan customizes an existing Webflow template to align with your brand. This allows you to build a professional website while minimizing costs and delivery time. It's recommended for those who want to 'get something up quickly' or 'keep costs down'.

The Full Custom Plan involves creating multiple design proposals based on our initial consultation, resulting in a completely original website perfectly aligned with your brand image. Following a process of wireframing, Figma design, and Webflow development, this plan delivers a website with greater design freedom. It's ideal for those who 'value their brand image' or 'want a truly unique site'.

For your quote, we can present both options.

Is Webflow suitable for SEO?

Yes, Webflow is an excellent platform for SEO.

You can manage all meta tag settings (title and description), automatic sitemap generation, structured data additions, and 301 redirects directly from the admin panel. Furthermore, its mobile-friendly responsive design and fast loading speeds are structured to easily meet Google's evaluation criteria.

At Booost, we deliver your website with all these fundamental SEO settings already implemented during the development process.

Can custom code be added?

Webflow allows you to add custom code to individual pages. You can embed JavaScript and custom CSS, flexibly extending your site's functionality. This includes implementing GTM tags, chat widgets, and animations.

Can I manage it without any programming knowledge?

Yes, it is. After delivery, we will grant you Webflow editing permissions so you can post blog articles and other content. Additionally, to prevent accidental changes, we can restrict which pages can be edited, so you can rest assured that your site won't disappear if you make edits.

Web Design FAQ

Do you offer revisions after delivery?

Minor revisions after delivery can be handled free of charge for a certain period. Please confirm the details at the time of contract.

Additionally, if ongoing support is required, we offer maintenance contracts (for more details, please refer to the "Security and Operations" section).

How do you handle design feedback and revisions?

Throughout the project, we conduct regular meetings and reviews, incorporating feedback in real-time. During the design phase, we use Figma, which allows for quick adjustments as you can comment directly on the screen.

Once the Webflow site is built, you can review its appearance on PCs, tablets, and smartphones in a preview environment, and we will finalize any necessary revisions before launch.

E-commerce Development FAQ

How do you integrate Shopify when building an online store with Webflow?

You can integrate Shopify into your site using Webflow's integration features. By combining Webflow's highly flexible frontend with Shopify's payment and inventory management features, you can build an e-commerce site that offers both stunning design and robust functionality.

Products added to the cart can be automatically synced with Shopify.

Is it possible to customize payment methods?

Yes, integration of multiple payment options (e.g., credit cards, PayPal) is possible. By combining Shopify's payment features with Webflow's SSL certificate, security is also ensured. We will propose customizations tailored to your specific needs.

Multilingual Translation FAQ

What are the benefits of choosing Booost for translation over AI translation?

While AI translation excels at accurately conveying meaning, what websites truly need is copy that drives action.

For example, AI translates "お気軽にお問い合わせください" as "Please feel free to contact us." While grammatically correct, in English-speaking marketing, "Let's talk about your project" typically achieves a higher CTA click-through rate.

At Booost, our English-native staff create copy from a marketing perspective, and our Japanese staff double-check to ensure there's no discrepancy in intent. We provide translations that not only make sense but also drive tangible results.

What languages are supported?

We support major world languages, with a focus on English. We can translate a wide range of document types, including business documents, contracts, website content, and brochures.

Please contact us for more details about our supported languages and specialized fields.

How do you manage translation quality control and confidentiality?

For quality control, we implement a three-stage check: translation by native speakers, intent confirmation by Japanese staff, and final proofreading.

Regarding confidentiality, we operate under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). We also ensure robust security for all translation data, so you can confidently entrust your projects to us.

SEO FAQ

What specific SEO measures does Booost offer?

During website creation, all fundamental SEO settings are implemented as standard, including meta tag optimization, sitemap configuration, structured data implementation, internal linking design, image ALT text setup, and page speed optimization.

Additionally, as an optional add-on to our maintenance plan, we offer continuous SEO improvement based on keyword research and competitor analysis, content strategy development, and monthly access reports.

What tools do you use for SEO?

We primarily utilize Ahrefs (for backlink analysis and keyword research), Google Search Console, and GA4. Based on this data, we provide evidence-based improvement proposals.

If I migrate from WordPress, will my SEO ranking drop?

With proper redirect design, your SEO value will be carried over without loss.

At Booost, we conduct a thorough inventory of all URLs before migration and meticulously set up 301 redirects. Furthermore, because Webflow offers extremely fast display speeds (AWS + Global CDN) and significantly improves Core Web Vitals, it's common for SEO rankings to improve after migration.

We monitor access conditions before and after migration, and if any issues arise, we address them promptly.
