Okayama web firm with a clinic website service and over 100 medical projects
About CODE54
CODE54 Co., Ltd. (株式会社CODE54) is a website and systems company in Shimonakano, Kita-ku, Okayama City. Goto Makoto began trading as a sole proprietor in July 2004, and the business became a limited company in 2005 and a stock company in 2006. In 2016 it built the Fives Junction complex and moved into it. It opened a branch in Takeda, Oita, in 2019 and a Kobe office in 2026. The firm has 12 staff and capital of 10 million yen.
Goto also leads CSS Nite in Okayama, a web designers' event series founded in 2011. The company runs the Okayama WEB Creators group and is a member of the Okayama Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Okayama Economic Doyukai. Business lines cover websites, systems, video (added 2022), illustration and design (added 2023), maintenance and PA audio.
CODE54 runs a dedicated service for medical websites. The team has built more than 100 medical sites. It builds hospital, clinic and specialty sites and handles clinic features such as outpatient rotas, booking systems and downloadable questionnaires. Content is written in line with the medical advertising guidelines. Phrases to avoid include absolute claims, number-one claims, patient testimonials and before-and-after photos without explanation. The firm also offers photography through partners, video, logos and leaflets.
On the technical side, in-house engineers build the CMS layer and a retained security consultant reviews it. HTML and SEO staff double-check code before delivery. Sites follow universal design principles for visual, hearing and colour differences. Staff receive a manual and can request an on-site lesson. Maintenance plans cover image updates, access analysis and advice. Trouble response requires a maintenance plan signed in advance.
Named medical clients include Fujita Hospital, MIRAI Hospital, Kasaoka Daiichi Hospital, Kitanagase Internal Medicine Clinic and Clinic Ikeda. No dental clinics are named. Client comments mention quick turnaround, easy self-updating and pre-opening SEO that helped a new clinic rank in search. The firm also ranks first for a common Okayama website-creation search term. It has done more than 1,000 projects across all sectors.
The service suits dental clinics in Okayama, and now Kobe, that want a guideline-aware site built before or after opening. It also suits groups that need booking or questionnaire features. Prices are not published. Quotes follow a free consultation and hearing, and the firm offers a free review of an existing site. A typical 10 to 20 page site takes two to three months. Meetings can be online, but the team prefers to visit the clinic at least once.
