Catalog from your spreadsheet
Products, specs, and images imported from the spreadsheet you already keep, so updates stay simple.
The Problem
Overseas Buyers Can't Tell What You Sell or Whether You're Real
It shows up when a buyer abroad compares suppliers online. Photo-only catalogs, a contact-us form, and no proof of registration push serious RFQs to competitors.
01 · Thin catalog
Products appear as photos with no specs or MOQs.
Each product gets a spec sheet with HS code, MOQ, packaging, and lead time.
02 · Vague RFQs
Inquiries ask for a price with no quantity.
The RFQ form asks for quantity, Incoterms rule, and destination port.
03 · Trust gap
Overseas buyers can't verify that the company is real.
A verification page shows registration, facility photos, and certificates you confirm.
04 · One language
Buyers abroad land on English-only pages.
Key pages run in your buyers' languages, with hreflang tags.
A buyer in Rotterdam is sourcing a new supplier and finds your site late in their evening. Your products appear as photos with no specs, no MOQs, and no lead times. The only form says contact us, so they type send price and move on. Nothing shows your company registration, your warehouse, or the certificates their compliance team will ask for. By morning, they've sent a detailed RFQ to a competitor whose catalog answered those questions.
We start with what an overseas buyer needs to trust you. Every product gets a spec sheet with HS code, MOQ, packaging, and lead time, imported from your spreadsheet. The RFQ form asks for quantity, Incoterms rule, and destination port, then routes to the right rep. A verification page shows registration, facility photos, and certificates you confirm. Buyers send real RFQs, not one-line price requests.
Spec sheets for every product
HS code, MOQ, packaging, and lead time listed on every catalog item.
RFQs with shipping terms
Buyers choose an Incoterms rule and destination port, so quotes start with real numbers.
Proof you're a real company
Registration details, facility photos, and certificates you confirm, all on one verification page.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Importers and Exporters Trust Us With Their Website
Your buyers are often in another country and careful with new suppliers. These habits keep your specs accurate, your claims verifiable, and your RFQs complete.
Licenses you can prove
Customs broker licenses, FMC registration, AEO, or CTPAT status appear only when you confirm them. Compliance teams verify these, and a wrong one ends the conversation.
Specs from your source data
We import specs from your own spreadsheet rather than retyping them. Fewer manual edits mean fewer wrong MOQs or lead times reaching buyers.
Incoterms used correctly
The RFQ form uses Incoterms 2020 rules, and sea-only rules like FOB and CIF are labeled that way. Quotes then start with the same shipping terms on both sides.
Honest about marketplaces
If a marketplace storefront already brings all the buyers you can serve, we'll tell you before we quote. Your own site pays off when buyers want to verify you independently.
Time zones respected
Your catalog and RFQ form work around the clock, and auto-replies tell buyers when your team will answer. Nobody waits a day wondering whether the form worked.
Buyer data stays yours
Domain, hosting, CRM, and every RFQ sit in your company's accounts. Unlike a marketplace listing, your buyer contacts stay with you if you change vendors.

Good fit
Exporters selling to new markets
You make or source products for buyers abroad, and your site is a single page that doesn't mention MOQs, lead times, or shipping terms.
Importers and wholesale distributors
You import goods and sell them to retailers, and buyers need your catalog, availability, and wholesale terms before they open an account.
Sourcing agents and trading companies
You connect overseas factories with buyers, and you need import and export business websites that show your vetting process and factory network.
Agricultural and food exporters
You export spices, coffee, or seafood, and buyers ask for certificates, packaging options, and harvest seasons before they send an RFQ.
Manufacturers' export departments
Your export team needs its own section of the company site, with spec sheets, distributor inquiries, and pages in your target markets' languages.
Not a fit
Repeat wholesale ordering
Your buyers already know you and need to place repeat orders online. B2B Ecommerce Website Development fits that ordering flow better.
Freight or logistics firm
You move goods for others as a forwarder, broker, or carrier. Logistics Company Website Design covers that buyer and its quote flows.
Factory site, no exports
You manufacture mainly for your home market and want plant capability pages. Manufacturing Website Design covers that scope.
Budget under $1,250
Your budget is under $1,250, or a marketplace storefront brings enough inquiries. Keep it until buyers start asking to verify you directly.

Send a message or book a call with the team.
Our trading company sites start at $1,250 for up to 10 pages with a 50-item catalog, spec sheets, and an RFQ form. Exporter catalogs with up to 300 items in 3 languages start at $3,100, and global trade sites at $6,200. You get a fixed quote after a free discovery call.
Most import and export business sites launch in 3 to 10 weeks. A site with up to 50 products takes 3 to 4 weeks. Large catalogs in several languages take 6 to 10 weeks, mostly because spreadsheets need cleaning and translations need review. A clean product spreadsheet saves the most time.
Start with your product data and your buyers' questions. Clean the spreadsheet into catalog fields: HS code, MOQ, packaging, and lead time. Then write a company verification page and an RFQ form that asks for quantity, Incoterms rule, and destination port. Translate key pages for your main markets and launch with hreflang.
Proof, specs, and terms. Buyers want your registration details, facility or warehouse photos, and certificates such as ISO 9001 if you hold them. They also want MOQs, lead times, packaging options, and the shipping terms you quote, so they can compare you with suppliers they already know.
Offer the Incoterms 2020 rules you actually quote, as published by the International Chamber of Commerce. Common choices are EXW, FCA, FOB, CIF, and DAP. FOB and CIF apply only to sea and inland waterway transport, so the form labels them as sea-only to avoid mismatched quotes.
Yes, when you know them. The Harmonized System, maintained by the World Customs Organization, gives each product type a 6-digit code that buyers use to estimate duties and check import rules. We add an HS code field to each product, and your team confirms the codes, since a wrong one can delay customs clearance.
Usually not as fixed public prices. B2B buyers expect quotes based on quantity, terms, and destination, so public pages show MOQs and price breaks only if you want them. A password-protected distributor area can hold price lists for approved buyers, which keeps your margins private.
Start with the languages of your top 2 or 3 markets. Each version gets its own URL and hreflang tags, and a native speaker reviews product names and specs before launch. Adding languages later is simple when the site is built for it from the start, so you don't need every market on day one.
With details buyers can check. A verification page shows your registered company name and address, registration numbers, facility photos, and certificates you hold. Customs broker licenses, FMC registration, or CTPAT status appear only when you confirm them, because buyers' compliance teams often verify these independently.
Support lasts 30, 45, or 60 days after launch, depending on your plan. It covers fixes, catalog import questions, and RFQ routing changes. After that, your team updates products from a spreadsheet, or a care plan handles updates. Your domain, hosting, and buyer data stay in your company's name.
