Best Seven Co., Ltd.

Best Seven Co., Ltd. is a Tokyo-based recruitment company whose brand centres on a single idea: every hire is an act of belief. The site needed to communicate that identity in both Japanese and English while giving the client editorial control over every piece of content, from news articles to service descriptions to team profiles, through a clean admin panel.

What was built

• Bilingual content: Japanese (default, unprefixed URLs) and English (/en/…), driven by Django's i18n framework with locale-aware URL routing
• CMS-style admin: custom dashub-based admin panel covering news posts, services, team members, principles, pages, menus, sliders, and contact submissions
• News & blog: categorised articles with cover images, rich-text bodies, featured pinning, and per-post SEO metadata
• Services: individual service pages with rich HTML bodies; each service can optionally link to a free-form CMS page for deeper content
• Team profiles: grouped team sections with per-member social links
• Service-flow page: the client's six-step recruitment process rendered as a structured editorial page
• Contact & FAQ: contact form with submission tracking, FAQ categories and questions managed from the admin
• Maintenance mode: middleware-controlled maintenance page that whitelists admin access
• Performance: 24-hour view-level caching via Redis in production, DummyCache in development
• Infrastructure: Dockerised with Nginx, Gunicorn, PostgreSQL, and Redis; deployed with an automated entrypoint that handles migrations, static collection, and locale compilation

Tech stack

Django 6 / Python full-stack with Django Templates for server-rendered HTML, TinyMCE for rich-text editing, Filehub for media management, PostgreSQL for the database, Redis for caching, and Nginx + Gunicorn for serving in production. Styling is utility-first with a custom design system targeting the client's navy and orange brand palette.

My role

I architected and built the entire system solo, covering the data models and URL routing through the bilingual template layer, custom admin, Docker infrastructure, and production deployment. This was a 2025 client engagement delivered for a real production domain.
