Heonki Lee · Korea-based designer who also codes
Your site, redesigned for
China, Japan, or Korea
— not imported.
A faithful translation still sits in a layout built for other eyes. I rebuild the design to the conventions of the market you're entering — China, Japan, or Korea — the type, the spacing, the trust cues a local expects, so the page feels like it was made there.
What I do — one person, start to finish
The work
CJK design localization
I rebuild your page — even when it's already translated — to the conventions of the market you're entering, China, Japan, or Korea, so it feels like a local made it, not translated and dropped in.
Made for the market
Designed to local convention
Not a generic template — the design follows how each market actually reads, working with the text you already have, so the page looks like a local made it.
No separate developer
Built and shipped by me
Because I also code, I hand over the finished page as real working code — ready to go live on your own site, with no separate developer to hire and nothing lost between design and build.
CJK Design — the look
The words are right — the page still feels imported.
Even with perfect words, a layout built for one market feels off in another — and that 'off' is what makes local visitors hesitate instead of act. I rebuild the page to the target market's own conventions, so it feels local, not imported:
Each market below — the same page accurately translated into it, then rebuilt to that market's conventions. Illustrative samples.
What goes in
Not a translation dropped into the old layout — the page itself is rebuilt for the market it’s entering.
- —Typography set for the script itself — the first thing a native eye notices
- —Density, spacing, and layout rhythm to local norms
- —Responsive by default — it reads right on phone, tablet, and desktop, not just one screen
- —Trust signals in the shape each market expects
- —Chinese, Japanese, or Korean — designed to each market’s own conventions, not a generic template
- —Your SEO tags carried into the new page — title, meta, and social tags — so search engines index it correctly for its target market

Heonki Lee
A Korea-based designer who also codes
A designer who also builds the site and ships it live.
I'm Heonki Lee, a Korea-based designer. I rebuild a page so it feels as if it were made in the market it's entering — China, Japan, or Korea — not dropped in from abroad. An imported-looking layout quietly signals it wasn't built for them; a local one earns the trust that gets a visitor to act.
I'm one designer you can message directly — for a fix, an update, or the next page or market.
How it starts
One page, one market, one exact number — up front.
No open-ended estimate and no surprise line items. Send a page, and you get the scope, the number, and the timeline in writing before anything is agreed.
- 1Send me a page and tell me the market — China, Japan, or Korea.
- 2I read the page and send back the scope, one exact number, and a timeline — usually within a few days.
- 3You approve it, prepay, and I build — with a full month of revisions to get every page exactly right.
- 4Finished pages come back ready to drop into your own site.

Each page rebuilt exactly as it is now, on your own Cloudflare account — nothing locked to me.

Every price is for the finished page — designed and built as real working code, all by me, with no separate developer to hire. It goes live on your own site.
Questions
CJK Design
- How does pricing work?
- Two ways in — one page, fully localized and delivered as a finished page, is $900; a full market starts at $3,000 — a reusable foundation plus your first 5 pages, with each page after quoted. Tell me your pages and market and I’ll send the exact number up front. Whatever you spend on a single page counts toward a full market, and extra markets cost less.
- How does it go live on my site?
- You get the finished page as real working code (HTML and CSS), ready to go live on your own site. For a standard site it drops straight onto your own host; for a custom or dynamic app, your developers integrate it into your stack. It’s your own site and your own infrastructure — you own it, nothing locked to me. If you’d like a hand getting it live, that’s the Cloudflare Migration option above — setup $350, then $95 per page.
- Do you really know Chinese and Japanese design, or just Korean?
- Every market gets a design built to its own conventions — the type, the spacing, the trust cues local users expect — never a generic template, China, Japan, and Korea alike. Korea is home ground; for China and Japan I design from the same close study of how each market reads. The before / after pairs on this page show what that means for each of the three.
- Will my page keep its own text and images?
- Yes — your text, images, and search ranking stay; I rebuild the layout to the market’s conventions and your content flows into it, and I carry the SEO tags over into the new page. You bring the text already in the market’s language; translating it, if you need that, is a separate step.
- Do I supply the text myself?
- For the design work, yes — you bring your text in the market’s language, and I rebuild the page around it so it reads like a local made it.
- What if I’m not happy with the result?
- The build comes with a full month of revisions to get it right — we keep working on the page until it does what you need. The scope and the number are agreed before anything starts, so there are no surprises either way.
Working together
- What if something needs fixing or updating later?
- Send it over — small updates start at $300, anything larger I quote first. No retainer and no monthly fee; you only pay when something actually comes up.
- How fast is it?
- The quote comes back within a few days. A full project depends on the page count and market — so I give you a clear timeline up front, before you commit.
