How to make a website for a candle making business

People buy handmade candles for a gift, a festival or a wedding favour, and they want to see the jar, know the fragrance and the burn time, and find out if you can put a name on the label. A candle website with clear photos and bulk rates sends those orders to your WhatsApp.

Tips for a candle making business website

Photograph each candle lit in a dim room and unlit in daylight; buyers want to see the glow and the jar.
Give burn times only from your own test burns, and say 'about'.
Don't claim a candle is non-toxic, chemical-free or good for health; describe the wax and fragrance plainly.
Put the last date to order for Diwali and wedding season on the home page, and change it in the chat each year.
Show a sample custom label so couples and companies can picture their own.
Add candle safety lines on the order page: trim the wick, don't leave it burning alone, keep it away from children and curtains.

Good to know

Buyers can't add candles to a cart or pay on the website; they order on WhatsApp. For an order list with fragrances, label names and dispatch, or a reseller catalogue, a candle business app fits better.
The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

Should I list every fragrance on my candle website?

Yes, on the candles page, with a word or two about each. Buyers often pick by fragrance first.

Can wedding customers send their label text on the website?

They send names, dates and quantity on WhatsApp from the gifts page. The website has no upload or form; you share a label proof back.

Can I sell candles to gift shops through the website?

You can show reseller rates and minimum orders on the gifts and bulk page, and shops contact you on WhatsApp. There is no shop or cart on the website.

Should I write burn time on each candle?

Yes, if you have test-burned that size yourself. Write it as an approximate number of hours.

Can I show a video of candles being poured?

Yes. A website can show a YouTube video on the home page, such as a short pour or a lit jar.

Will people looking for Diwali candles find my website?

The pages are made so Google can read them, with your products in the format search engines use. Where they show up is Google's decision.
