Why Onbit
If one small system makes someone's day a little lighter, that's enough for us.
where it started
From a family music school
When a family member started a music school, one thing became clear: teaching and keeping a school running are two different jobs.
A website, trial sign-up forms, social media, search visibility. Each is small, but together they eat into the music time you actually want.
People who teach, host or treat clients spend most of their time on their craft — and so news updates, booking coordination and late-night enquiry replies keep getting pushed back.
Onbit takes on that back-office work from the web side. Two drafted news posts and two small updates a month are covered by the HP Smart plan's monthly fee. English pages and booking-system integration come with HP Pro. LINE integration is an option for those who need it — so you can slowly get back the time to focus on your craft.
the other half
The other job — AI for business
Taking on the web side made it clear the trouble doesn't stop at the website. Entering accounts, replying to similar enquiries, repetitive admin — the tasks you repeat daily are the ones that eat into your real work.
These days, building systems that hand routine work to AI is becoming Onbit's main line. Try it small, confirm it helps, then run it monthly — the same "not a one-off" approach as our web work.

The person behind it
Sawa (sawa)
- ・Lives in Tokushima
- ・Onbit (sole proprietor)
After a family member started a music school and I took on the back-office work, I began to think others must be running into the same trouble. Onbit is the name I started under.
What matters to us
- ・No jargon
- ・Not a one-off — built to last
- ・A simple build you can change later

how we compare
How we differ from the alternatives
There are several ways to build a website. Onbit isn't the "build it, hand it over, you're on your own" type — it's the "build it, then handle the monthly updates together" type. Here's a side-by-side with the two options people often compare.
| Comparison | DIY tools Wix / STUDIO / Jimdo, etc. | Typical web agency Template work, SI firms | Onbit Monthly plan, specialized |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup fee | ¥0–30,000 (costs your own time) | ¥300,000–1,000,000 | None (included in the monthly fee) |
| Monthly fee | ¥1,500–5,000 (tool cost) | ¥5,000–30,000 (maintenance only) | ¥4,800–14,800 (by plan, build + maintenance included) |
| Time to launch | At your own pace | 2–3 months | 1–4 weeks (by plan) |
| Updates after launch | You do them | Quoted separately | HP Smart and up: 2 drafted news posts + 2 small changes a month, done for you |
| Industry knowledge | None (generic templates) | Depends on the project | Specialized in music schools, guesthouses/inns and clinics |
| Who handles it | No one | Split across sales → build → maintenance | Sawa handles it end to end |
| Handover to another company | Hard — tied to the platform | Depends on the deliverables | On cancellation, the site's HTML and image files can be handed over |
When Onbit isn't the right fit
- ・Sites with full application features such as member accounts, payments or inventory management (booking-system integration is available on HP Pro)
- ・Large corporate sites of more than 10 pages
- ・Cases that need weekday daytime phone support (we mainly handle email/LINE in evenings and on weekends)
For cases like these, a local agency or a larger systems company is a better fit. After we've talked, if we decide Onbit isn't right for you, we'll say so honestly.
