Challenges in Web Production for Local Businesses

According to a survey by Web Kanji (2023), the average cost of Web production is 825,000 yen, but there is a wide range depending on the size and region of the company. For small and medium-sized businesses in local areas, Web production is by no means a small investment, but the means to grasp the local market price sense in advance have been limited.

In local areas, there is a choice between commissioning a local production company or remotely commissioning a production company in a major city, and each has a different cost structure.

Mechanism of the New Tool

The simulator for local businesses provides a cost simulation optimized for the input conditions simply by entering the region, industry, and scale.

Input Items

1. Location of the business (prefecture/city)

2. Industry (e.g., Food & Beverage/Beauty/Legal/Medical/Retail/Construction/Manufacturing)

3. Number of employees

4. Website objective (e.g., lead generation/recruitment/branding/e-commerce)

5. Selection of required functions (checklist format)

Simulation Results

• Estimated cost optimized for region and industry (in 3 phased configurations)
• Breakdown of functions included in each configuration
• Possibility of utilizing IT Introduction Subsidies and the actual cost after subsidy
• Cost estimates for both local and remote production companies

IT Introduction Subsidy Utilization Simulation

In Web production for local businesses, the utilization of IT Introduction Subsidies is increasing. The simulator also automatically calculates the actual cost after the subsidy is applied. Since the subsidy rate and maximum subsidy amount vary depending on the type of subsidy, candidate applicable subsidies are also displayed.

Local vs. Major City Comparison

The simulation results also show the cost difference between commissioning a local production company and remotely commissioning a production company in a major city. The optimal choice varies depending on whether face-to-face communication is necessary and the required level of design and technology.

Local businesses considering Web production are encouraged to check the cost sense with VOLT's simulator.
