How to make a website for a distributor

Two kinds of people look up a distributor: retailers who want to know if your salesman covers their market and on which day, and companies looking for a distributor in your area. A plain website shows the product lines you handle, the towns you cover and your warehouse, and sends both to your WhatsApp.

What people look for on a distributor website

The product categories you are appointed for, described by type, and the area you cover
The towns, markets and beat days: which day the salesman visits which market
How a new retailer can start taking stock from you, and what they need to share
Delivery after the order: next day, or with the next beat
Your warehouse, vehicles and team size, for companies looking for a distributor
Payment terms for retailers, and GST registration if you have one
Phone and WhatsApp numbers for orders, and for the owner

The pages your website needs

Home: What you distribute, the area you cover and a WhatsApp button for retailers who want the salesman to visit
Product lines: Each category you handle, described by type (packaged snacks, soaps and detergents), with the pack sizes you supply
Area and beat days: Towns and markets covered, the weekday for each beat, and how soon goods arrive after an order
For retailers: How to start taking stock, payment terms, schemes when available, and who to call about a delivery
About and contact: Warehouse, vehicles and team, for companies; address, phone, WhatsApp and a Google Maps button

Sample words for your home page

Distributor of packaged foods and home care for the Varanasi rural belt

Our salesmen visit 14 markets on fixed beat days. Order on the visit or on WhatsApp, and goods arrive the next working day.

Gupta Distributors has served retailers around Varanasi since 2011, with a 6,000 sq ft warehouse, three delivery vans and seven salesmen. Every market gets a fixed beat day, so shops know when to expect us. Want our salesman to visit your shop? Send us your shop name and market on WhatsApp.

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide the pages. Most distributor websites need these pages: Home, Product lines, Area and beat days, For retailers, About and contact.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your distributor, and paste it into AppCub:

Make a website for my distribution business, Gupta Distributors, warehouse on the ring road near the transport nagar, Varanasi. We distribute packaged snacks, biscuits, soaps and detergents to retailers in 14 markets around Varanasi. Pages: home, product lines, area and beat days, for retailers, and about and contact. Beat days: Monday Ramnagar and Mughalsarai side, Tuesday Chunar side, and so on; I will give the full list. Next-day delivery. 3 vans, 7 salesmen. WhatsApp 98XXXXXXXX. Green and white colours.

Tips for a distributor website

Use the companies' brand names and logos only if your distribution agreement allows it; otherwise describe products by type.
Keep the beat-day table current; a retailer who waits on the wrong day stops trusting it.
Don't post schemes or margins on the website; they change and are easier to send to retailers on WhatsApp.
Show the warehouse and vans in photos; companies looking for a distributor want to see your set-up.
Add the warehouse to a free Google Business Profile so new salesmen and drivers can find it.

Good to know

Retailers can't place orders, see their dues or pay on the website; they order with your salesman or on WhatsApp. For salesmen taking orders on beat and tracking each retailer's dues, a distributor app is the better fit.
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

Can I show the brands I distribute on my website?

Only if your agreement with those companies allows it. Many distributors describe product types and share brand details with retailers directly.

Should a distributor website show beat days?

Yes. A simple table of markets and weekdays tells retailers when your salesman will come, and saves calls.

Can retailers place orders on the website?

No. The website has no ordering or payment; retailers order with the salesman or on WhatsApp. A distributor app can take orders on the beat.

How can a company looking for a distributor learn about us?

Give them an about page with your warehouse size, vehicles, team, area covered and the categories you already handle.

Can I post current schemes and offers?

You can, but they change often. Most distributors send schemes on WhatsApp and keep the website for things that stay true for months.

Will retailers in my area find us on Google?

The pages are made so Google can read them, with your address in the format search engines use. Where they appear is Google's decision; a free Google Business Profile helps on Maps.
