About the Title of This Website
The title of this website, “初期費用ゼロからはじめてクリエイター (Starting Without Initial Costs, Becoming a Creator),” captures the essence of its purpose: inspiring people to embark on their creative journey without the need for upfront expenses.
On this site, I provide detailed guides—complete with images and videos—on how to use free software to produce creative works. During the process of customizing my own website, I also developed a WordPress plugin, which I now support and showcase here.
The Japanese phrase “はじめて” (hajimete) in the title holds a double meaning. When written as “初めて”, it means “for the first time.” When written as “始めて,” it means “to start something” or “to begin an action.” By using the hiragana form “はじめて”, I wanted to convey both meanings simultaneously.
Meet the Developer
Hello, and welcome! My name is Emaki Sorano, and I’m a solo developer from Japan. I create WordPress plugins and share tutorials on free software through this website.
I strive to take a thoughtful and meticulous approach to my work, aiming to deliver tools and resources that are practical, user-friendly, and accessible to a wide audience. My projects are designed for developers and WordPress administrators alike, with a strong emphasis on international compatibility and clear communication.
As this is a one-person endeavor, I kindly ask for your understanding if updates or responses take time. I deeply value your feedback and suggestions. If you’re not a Japanese speaker, don’t worry—feel free to communicate in your native language and provide an English translation to help bridge any gaps.
