Why US-native
Why a translated Korean site is not enough
- 01
US search runs on Google
Americans find brands and stores through Google Search and Google Maps, not Naver. Page titles and descriptions, structured data and one page per store have to follow US search conventions to show up.
- 02
Accessibility lawsuits are common
In 2025, 1,021 of the 3,117 website-accessibility lawsuits filed in US federal courts came from New York (Seyfarth Shaw). By industry, e-commerce (about 70%) was followed by food service (about 21%) (UsableNet). We build keyboard navigation, alt text, color contrast and labeled forms in from the start.
- 03
US visitors expect different basics
Fast mobile pages, short native-sounding English, store hours and addresses that are easy to find, and a privacy policy are the baseline for a US brand site.
- 04
AI search has to describe you correctly
ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews summarize brands from what your site states plainly and in machine-readable form. We structure your company, store and menu information so these systems can read it.

Process
Six weeks, four steps to launch
Timing depends on scope and on how fast materials and approvals arrive. Meetings can run in the Korean morning.
Week 1
Scope and site structure
One video call covers your launch date, must-have pages and the materials you already have. Then we confirm scope, price and schedule in writing.
Weeks 2–3
Design approved in Figma
Desktop and mobile mockups of the key screens are shared in Figma. Your team comments directly on the designs and approves them.
Weeks 4–5
Build, CMS and content entry
We build to the approved design, set up the admin panel and load your menus, stores and initial content.
Week 6
QA, training and launch
Browser and accessibility checks, admin training, and a public launch once you sign off.

Frequently asked questions
Can we just translate our Korean website into English?
We reuse your brand assets (logo, photography, tone), but US customers look for different information and search differently, so the structure is redesigned for the US. Translated sites usually fall short on Google visibility, store information and accessibility.
Can our HQ team use the admin panel in Korean?
Yes. We build on a CMS with a Korean-language admin interface, so your team adds and edits menus, stores, news and banners through simple lists and forms. There are no per-seat license fees for editor accounts.
Can we meet on Korea time?
Yes. We hold video calls in the Korean morning (the previous evening in US Eastern time) and report progress in Korean or English.
How long does it take?
A typical official brand site takes about five to six weeks, depending on scope and on how quickly materials and approvals come in.
How is the price calculated?
By the number of design templates, the amount of launch content and the features you need (store locator, franchise inquiries and so on), not by page count. After the first call you receive an itemized quote and schedule in writing.
Does this protect us from ADA website lawsuits?
We design and build to WCAG basics (keyboard navigation, alt text, color contrast, form labels) and check them before launch. Legal advice and accessibility certification are not included.
Can you help our US stores show up on Google Maps and Search?
We create a page and structured data for each store, connect Google Search Console, and check that each Google Business Profile matches the website. We do not guarantee rankings.
Who writes the English copy?
We provide an English content guide written for US customers and lightly edit the English you supply. Full translation and new copywriting are quoted separately.
What happens after launch?
You choose between running the site yourselves and a monthly care plan that covers updates, backups, monitoring, content changes and a monthly report.
Tell us your launch date and the pages you need. We will send a written quote and schedule, in Korean or English.
