It is very convenient because it automatically selects images that are compatible with both computers and smartphones.
④There is Japanese language support
Website production services such as WordPress do not have support functions.
Therefore, the current situation is that you have to spend time searching on search sites, and if that doesn’t solve your problem, you have no choice but to rely on acquaintances or crowdsourcing services.
On that point, Peraichi has a Japanese chat function, so you can immediately log in from the page and consult.
Even users who are not good at using the Internet or have no knowledge can start using it with confidence.
Additionally, Peraichi has a supporter system, where you can receive support from supporters who are not employed by Peraichi. When you have trouble using Peraichi, it is important to have a relationship with a supporter who cares about you.

domain
power.

②Low degree of freedom in design
At Peraichi, site creation is based on templates, so you can’t freely create the design you like. However, since there are a large number of templates and you can choose your favorite design from among them, it is possible to easily create a website without any programming required.
