How a TakuraTech project actually runs.
We don't publish client work. A site belongs to the business that paid for it, and that includes the right not to become someone else's advertising. So instead of a gallery, this page is the thing a gallery is only ever a proxy for: exactly how your project gets built, what you sign off, and what you own at the end of it.
Five stages, and you approve three of them
Nothing moves to the next stage without you. There is no point in this process where work happens that you have not already seen and agreed to, which is the same reason nothing arrives as a surprise at the end of it. Where a stage needs a decision from you, you get asked for it in plain language rather than buried in a document.
You tell us the goal
A conversation about what the business does, who is buying, and what a visitor should have done before they leave. We ask about the job the site has to do, not your favourite colour.
You approve the design first
You see the layout and the look before a single line of code exists. Changes at this stage cost nothing but a conversation, which is exactly why the order runs this way round.
We build it by hand
The approved design gets coded from scratch. No page builder, no bought theme, and nothing depending on a plugin licence you would have to keep renewing to keep your own site working.
We try to break it before a customer does
Tested on real phones, not a resized browser window. Forms actually submitted, links actually followed, load speed measured, and the copy read through twice.
You get the keys
It goes live on your domain, in your hosting account, in your name. After that you message the team that built it whenever something needs changing, rather than a ticket queue and a reference number.
What every build includes, without being asked
Not an upgrade list. This is the floor, on the smallest project we take.
Hand-written code
Every line is written for your site. Nothing is inherited from a template you would spend the next two years working around.
Designed for the phone first
Most of your visitors arrive on one, so that is the layout drawn first and tested hardest, not squeezed down from the desktop version afterwards.
Tested on real devices
Actual phones and tablets, not a narrow browser window. Only one of those is the thing your customer is holding.
Findable from day one
Titles, descriptions, structured data and a sitemap, set up correctly before launch instead of sold back to you as an add-on six months later.
Yours to own outright
Domain, hosting and code all sit in your name. Nothing stops working if you stop working with us, and nothing needs our permission to move.
Direct to the team that built it
You deal with the people who built your site, not a support desk. No account manager in between, no ticket number, no first-response window to wait out.
The questions this page usually raises
All fair ones. Here are the straight answers.
Why won't you show me other people's sites?
Because to do that we would have to show yours to the next person who asks. The confidentiality runs both ways or it is not worth anything, and we would rather be the studio that keeps it than the one with a nicer gallery.
Then how do I judge whether you can actually build?
Two ways. This site is our own work: everything you are reading was hand-coded by the same people who would build yours, and you are welcome to open the page source and check. And the design for your project is agreed with you before any code is written, so you see what you are getting while there is still time to change it.
Will my project ever appear on this website?
No. Not the name, not a screenshot, not the logo. If we ever wanted to write about a project we would ask you first, in writing, and saying no would cost you nothing.
Who owns the site when it is finished?
You do, completely. The domain and the hosting account are in your name from the start, and the code is yours to keep, to move to another host, or to hand to a different developer.
Can you sign an NDA?
Yes, and you do not have to ask twice. Send one over and we will sign it. If you never send one, the work is treated exactly the same way regardless.
Can I talk to someone you have worked with?
Sometimes. We will not hand out a client's contact details, but we can ask a past client whether they are willing to speak to you. If they say yes, we introduce you. If they say no, that is the end of it.
Tell us what you need built
Describe the project and you get one fixed quote back, usually within one business day.
