About IRICK

IRICK (Kabushiki Kaisha Airikku) is a Kyoto company founded on 15 June 2005 and headed by Representative Hiroshi Endo. It works from Room 505 of the Sanyo Muromachi Building in Yamabushiyama-cho, Nakagyo-ku. The firm is first a management consultant for medical institutions, care facilities and dental clinics, and runs website production as one arm of that business through a separate studio site, webcreate-kyoto.com. Other lines include staff training by e-learning, staff satisfaction surveys, ISO 9001 support and video production.

The dental side grows out of the consulting work. The company's dental consultants have supported more than 400 dental clinics, and this knowledge of how clinics run shapes the planning and copy of each site. Planning, content and copywriting are done in-house, and the team keeps proposing campaigns and new content after launch. It also takes on renewals of existing clinic sites.

The portfolio has more than twenty general dental clinic sites, among them Inada Dental Clinic, Morikawa Dental Yao Honmachi Clinic, Tomo Dental Clinic, Kato Dental, Kubota Dental Clinic, Abiko Family Dental and Yumori Dental Clinic. Separate self-pay treatment sites were made for Matsuki Dental Clinic, Yasuma Dental Clinic and Sakano Dental. Medical institutions make up a large share of its work.

On the web side, the company offers WordPress sites built with SEO in mind, responsive smartphone sites, social media account setup and analysis, photo and video production, print design such as flyers and brochures, and English pages with translation and handling of overseas inquiries. Staff visit clients for meetings, mainly across Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe, and make regular visits after launch to report on access data and suggest changes. Blog coaching is also offered so clinics can write their own posts. A free site diagnosis scores the problems on an existing site.

Its terms are unusually concrete. Most website projects cost roughly 300,000 to 500,000 yen depending on pages and requests, and take two to three months. Photography is included in the fee. SEO for an existing site starts at 1,500 yen per page as a one-off, or from 20,000 yen a month as ongoing work, and revisions are free for two weeks after launch. Three monthly maintenance plans are handled through its update service site. Design only, coding only or SEO only can also be ordered.

The company suits Kansai dental practices, especially smaller ones, that want a site built by people who also advise clinics on management and staffing. No traffic results are published, so buyers should ask for references directly.
