Import-cost planning
Auction price in yen, make, age, estimated VRT, inland transport, ocean freight and destination port.
Make Japanese car imports easier to plan.
Dasko JDM already had a bilingual Webnode website. CK Website Design improved it rather than rebuilding it, so buyers can estimate import costs, understand the process and choose the right next step with less guesswork.
Website redesign case study01
01 / The brief
Enhance the existing website,
not replace it.
Importing a car from Japan raises practical questions before anyone talks to a dealer: what the car will really cost once it reaches Ireland, how the process works and where to begin.
The requirement was a targeted improvement of the existing Webnode site. The English and Polish website stayed in place, and the work focused on making cost, process and enquiry routes easier to find and easier to read.
ScopeTargeted redesignRefreshed homepage, custom cost calculator and clearer Services content within the retained Webnode 2 website.
02 / The buyer journey
Three clear routes
from first visit.
The current website gives visitors a choice of starting points depending on how far along their plans are.
- 01
Estimate the cost
Use the import-cost calculator to see an estimated breakdown before committing to anything.
- 02
Understand the process
Follow the how-it-works entry point and the Services process to see each stage of an import.
- 03
Choose a next step
Request a quote from the calculator, follow the auction registration link or complete the separate sourcing form.
03 / Current homepage
Cost and process
up front.
The refreshed homepage places cost and how-it-works entry points where buyers look first. English and Polish homepage entry points were observed on the current website.
04 / Import-cost calculator
An estimate before
the first conversation.
A custom calculator turns the main cost questions into a short set of inputs and returns an estimated breakdown, with a quote request interface alongside it. These are indicative estimates, not a binding quote or tax advice. Final costs depend on the vehicle, exchange rates, transport and decisions by Revenue and customs.

06 / What was checked
Verified features,
plainly described.
The current features were checked on the public website on 9 November 2026. The earlier Services image comes from the supplied editor reference. Forms were viewed without submitting them; enquiry delivery and commercial results have not been measured. English and Polish homepage entry points were observed, not a complete translation audit.
Homepage entry points
English and Polish homepage entry points observed on the retained bilingual website.
Next-step routes
Quote request interface, auction registration link and a separate detailed sourcing form.
07 / What changed
Focused changes
to an existing site.
CK Website Design worked inside the existing Webnode 2 website. Auction bidding happens on an external platform through a registration link; the site itself is not an online shop.
