How to make a website for a homemade pickle business

People who buy homemade achar often live far from where it is made, and they find you through a friend's WhatsApp forward. Before ordering they want the varieties, jar sizes and prices, the oil and spice level, and whether you courier to their city. A small website answers that and brings the order to your WhatsApp.

What people look for on a homemade pickle business website

Every pickle you make, such as raw mango, lemon, mixed vegetable, garlic, red chilli and gongura
Jar sizes, 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg, with prices
The oil used, the spice level and whether onion or garlic is in it
Which pickles are made only in season, like raw mango in April and May
Courier to other cities: charges, how it is packed so the oil doesn't leak, and how long it usually takes
How long a jar keeps and how to store it once opened
Gift packs for Diwali or for families sending achar abroad through relatives

The pages your website needs

Home: Who makes the pickles, your most-ordered varieties, this season's batch and a WhatsApp button to order
Pickles and prices: Each pickle with jar sizes and prices, the oil, spice level and whether it has garlic
Seasonal batches: Pickles made once a year, the months you make them, and how to book a jar before the batch sells out
Shipping and gift packs: Courier charges by region, how jars are packed, how long delivery usually takes, and gift packs
Contact: Your town, phone, WhatsApp, FSSAI number if you have one, and pickup from home if you allow it

Sample words for your home page

Andhra-style homemade pickles from Vijayawada, sent across India

Avakaya, gongura and lemon pickle in 250 g to 1 kg jars, made in small batches in groundnut oil. Order on WhatsApp.

Lakshmi's Homemade Pickles is run by Lakshmi Rao and her daughter from their home kitchen in Vijayawada since 2018. We make each pickle by hand in small batches, sun-dry the spices ourselves, and pack every jar in sealed pouches for courier.

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

Tips for a homemade pickle business website

Write the oil, spice level and garlic or no garlic for each pickle; Jain and no-garlic buyers look for it.
Describe pickles by taste, region and how they are made. Don't make health claims about them.
Show a photo of how you pack a jar for courier; leaking oil is the first worry of a buyer in another city.
Open bookings for seasonal batches on the website early, and say when the batch is sold out.
Show your FSSAI registration number on the contact page if you have one.
Don't put your full home address on the website; the town and a WhatsApp number are enough.

Questions

Do I need a website for a pickle business I run on WhatsApp?

A website gives your WhatsApp forwards one link with all varieties, prices and courier charges, so buyers know what to order before they message.

Can I sell pickles online from the website?

Buyers order on WhatsApp from any page and pay you by UPI. The website has no cart or payment; for online payment, make a pickle business app with your Razorpay account.

Should I write my pickle ingredients on the website?

Yes. List the main ingredients, the oil and whether there is garlic or onion, so buyers with food preferences can choose.

Can I say my pickles are good for health?

Avoid health claims. Write what is in the pickle, how it is made and how long it keeps.

Should I show courier charges for other cities?

Yes. A small table of charges by region, and how long delivery usually takes, answers the question most buyers ask.

Will my home address show on the website?

Only if you add it. Many home businesses show the town and a WhatsApp number, and share the full address only for pickups.
