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
A before / after on one of your own pages, so you see the difference before you commit.
- —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
Don't take my word for it. I redesign one of your pages first — free, and you judge.
You don't have to trust me up front. I send a before/after of one of your own pages, redesigned for its market — you see the quality before paying anything.
- 1Send me a page and tell me the market — China, Japan, or Korea.
- 2I send back a free before/after — your page now, next to the same page redesigned for that market — usually within a few days.
- 3You, or anyone who knows the market, compare them side by side.
- 4If it's a fit, you prepay and I build the rest — with a full month of revisions to get every page exactly right.
- 5Finished pages come back ready to drop into your own site.
Pricing
Start on a single page — or set up the whole market.
- One Page Start on a single page · per market
- $900 one page, fully localized, delivered as a finished working page
- Full Market The main work · per market · extra markets: reduced foundation
- From $3,000 per market · foundation + first 5 pages
Your homepage or a key landing page — the lowest-commitment way to see it work on a real page of your own.
A reusable design foundation for the market, built once — then each page built on it.
The first before/after is free — no commitment, a before/after of one of your own pages. Only the work itself is prepaid, by invoice.
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. The first before/after is always free.
- 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, I can scope that separately.
- 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. You always see a free before/after of your own page first, so you judge the fit before paying.
- 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?
- You see a free before/after before anything is agreed, and the build comes with a full month of revisions to get it right. Only the work itself is prepaid, by invoice — nothing before you’ve seen the quality.
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 first before/after is usually 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.
