How to make a website for a small manufacturer

Traders and dealers in other towns find small factories online, then ask three things: what you make, the minimum order and how goods reach them. A factory website shows your range with sizes and packing, your terms and your GST details, and sends the trader to WhatsApp for the rate list.

What people look for on a small manufacturer website

The full product range with photos, sizes, colours and model numbers traders can quote back
How each item is packed: pieces per carton or bundle, and the carton size
Minimum order quantity, per item or per order
How goods are dispatched: by transport to the trader's town, freight paid by whom, usual days to dispatch
GST number, factory address and the owner's name, so a new trader can check you are real
Who you sell to: wholesalers, dealers, distributors, and whether you make goods under the buyer's brand
How to get the current rate list, since raw material prices move

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 small manufacturer websites need these pages: Home, Products, Order and dispatch, About the factory, 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 small manufacturer, and paste it into AppCub:

Make a website for my factory, Shree Ganesh Polymers, in Shapar industrial area, Rajkot. We make plastic buckets, tubs, mugs and baskets and sell only to traders and dealers. Pages: home, products, order and dispatch, about the factory, and contact. Products in 8 colours; I will send photos with model numbers, sizes and pieces per carton. Minimum order: 10 cartons per order. 30% advance, balance before dispatch. Dispatch in 5 working days by the trader's transport. GST number to be added. Rate list on WhatsApp at 98XXXXXXXX. Blue and white colours.

Tips for a small manufacturer website

Use the same model numbers on the website, in your rate list and on the cartons, so traders can order by number.
Don't put rates on the website if raw material prices change them every month; send the rate list as a PDF on WhatsApp.
Photograph each product on a plain background with its size written next to it, and one photo of a packed carton.
Show your GST number and the factory address on the contact page; new traders check them before paying an advance.
Write the dispatch time you really manage in the busy season, not the quickest you have ever done.
Add the factory to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile so traders and transporters can find the gate.

Good to know

Traders can't place an order, see live stock or pay on the website; they WhatsApp or call you. To keep orders, production, dispatch and each trader's account, a factory 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 a factory website show the rate list?

Most small factories show the range, sizes and minimum order, and send the rate list on WhatsApp, because raw material prices change it often.

Can traders place orders on the website?

They send their order on WhatsApp from any page, usually by model number and cartons. The website has no order form or cart.

Can I show that I make goods under a buyer's brand?

Yes. Describe it on the order page: minimum quantity for a private label, what the buyer gives you, and how long it takes.

What should the about page of a factory say?

How long you have run, what you make in plain words, the number of machines or monthly output if you are happy to share it, and the GST number.

Can I add a factory video?

Yes. A website can show a YouTube video of the shop floor or packing, which helps traders who can't visit.

Will traders in other states find the factory on Google?

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