What JIKI does

JIKI Co., Ltd. (有限会社磁) is a privately held, Miyazaki-based full-service design and web production company founded in August 2001. It builds custom websites, e-commerce stores, mobile sites, CMS-based blogs (WordPress and MovableType), and supports SEO, domain registration, and hosting for clients primarily in Miyazaki Prefecture and nationwide Japan. Its core technology stack consists of standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP) deployed on WordPress or MovableType, supplemented by in-house PHP/JavaScript mini-services (CMSmini, WebPON, Lightbox, etc.), P2-based non-linear HD video editing, DJI PHANTOM2 drone aerial photography, and JPM360 panoramic virtual-tour capture. The company also maintains a proprietary library of over 150,000 stock photographs and provides original character/mascot design.

JIKI operates a cross-media business model, offering print/DTP design, signage production (B0 inkjet, lamination, laser engraving), video/CM production, drone and 360° photography, and custom web development as a single integrated package. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time project-based fees (e.g., top page design from ¥66,000, WordPress CMS from ¥110,000, banners from ¥3,300), with modest recurring income from domain and hosting subscriptions. GTM is sales-led and direct, supported by a content-marketing-heavy website (including a 1,021-post staff blog and a Japanese/English web terminology glossary), YouTube, Facebook, and free estimate-request forms. Customers span government associations, construction and manufacturing firms, hospitality and food/restaurant businesses, healthcare and welfare organizations, retail, and local SMEs.

The company is founder-led by representative director Rei Nishitachino (西立野 玲), with approximately 11 full-time employees as of April 2017 and registered capital of ¥3,000,000. It opened a Tokyo office in 2012 (relocated to Shinjuku in 2017) but closed it in February 2020 due to COVID-19. No external funding, M&A, partnerships, patents, awards, or AI/ML capability disclosures are present in the available data.
