Building Websites That Actually Work for Taiwan Businesses

We've been doing this since 2019, and here's what we've learned: the technology behind your website matters way less than how it serves your customers. Most agencies talk about frameworks and stacks. We talk about what happens when someone lands on your page at 11 PM looking for answers.

The Real Problems We Keep Seeing

After working with over 80 businesses in Hsinchu and across Taiwan, we notice the same issues pop up. Not the technical stuff that developers obsess over, but the things that actually stop people from becoming your customers.

1

Your Site Loads Like It's 2015

We've tested this dozens of times. When a page takes more than three seconds to load on mobile, about half your visitors leave. They don't wait around. And in Taiwan's mobile-first market, that's killing your business.

How we handle it: We build with performance baked in from day one. Image compression that doesn't destroy quality. Code that loads what's needed, when it's needed. Your pages show up in under 1.5 seconds, even on older phones with spotty connections.

Mobile Version Looks Like an Afterthought

Someone squeezed your desktop site onto a phone screen and called it responsive. Text too small to read. Buttons that need a stylus to tap. Forms that make people want to throw their phone across the room.

How we handle it: We design for phones first, then scale up. Because that's how your customers actually find you. Touch targets are thumb-friendly. Forms only ask for what you really need. Everything works one-handed while someone's on the MRT.

Updating Anything Requires a Developer

You want to change a photo or fix a typo. That requires emailing your web person, waiting three days, and paying for 30 minutes of work. Meanwhile, your promotion ended yesterday and the site still shows the old dates.

How we handle it: Content management that doesn't need a computer science degree. You can update text, swap images, and adjust your service list from your phone. We set up everything you'll need to change regularly, with clear instructions that actually make sense.

Nobody Can Find You on Google

Beautiful design means nothing if you're on page seven of search results. Your competitors with uglier sites are getting all the calls because they show up first. And you have no idea why or how to fix it.

How we handle it: Every site we build follows current search optimization practices from the ground up. Proper structure, clean code, fast loading, mobile excellence. We handle the technical foundation so you can focus on creating content that answers what people actually search for.

Our Process

We Start by Understanding Your Actual Business

No sales pitch about revolutionary platforms or cutting-edge frameworks. We spend time figuring out who visits your site, what they're trying to do, and what stops them from doing it.

Then we build something that solves those specific problems. Sometimes that means custom features. Sometimes it means taking stuff away that's just getting in the way.

  • We prototype on actual devices your customers use, not just fancy desktop monitors. Testing happens in real conditions with real network speeds.
  • Every element needs to justify its existence. If something doesn't help your visitors or your business, it doesn't make the cut.
  • Launch day is just the start. We monitor how people actually use your site and make improvements based on real behavior, not assumptions.
  • You get training that sticks. Not a manual nobody reads, but actual hands-on time until you're comfortable managing your own content.
