Common questions from small business owners
Everything you need to know before getting started.
How much does a product catalogue website cost for a small business in India?+
A professional product catalogue website from LiveSite24 costs ₹6,999 all-inclusive. This covers design and development, categorised product listing with photos and specs, B2B enquiry form, company credentials page, WhatsApp integration, SEO setup, mobile optimisation, and hosting. No hidden fees.
How is a product catalogue website different from a full e-commerce store?+
A product catalogue website shows your products with photos, descriptions, specs, and pricing — and lets buyers send an enquiry or contact you on WhatsApp to place an order. A full e-commerce store has a cart and payment gateway. Most small manufacturers and traders start with a catalogue website (faster, cheaper, simpler) and upgrade to e-commerce once order volume justifies it.
Will a website help me get bulk and B2B orders?+
Yes — this is the primary reason small manufacturers and traders need a website. Retailers, distributors, procurement managers, and corporate buyers search Google for suppliers before shortlisting. A professional website with your full product catalogue, MOQ details, and a B2B enquiry form is what gets you into their consideration — a WhatsApp number alone is not enough.
Can I update my product list after the website is built?+
Yes. We build your website with the initial product catalogue and provide guidance on simple updates. For frequent catalogue changes, we offer a maintenance package. Most small businesses update their catalogue a few times a year and we handle those updates quickly.
How do I compete with IndiaMart or TradeIndia listings?+
IndiaMart and TradeIndia are directories where you compete with hundreds of similar suppliers on price alone. Your own website gives buyers a direct relationship with your brand — your story, your certifications, your quality focus. It also ranks on Google independently, meaning buyers can find you without going through a marketplace. Many serious B2B buyers actually prefer to deal directly with a supplier who has their own website.
How long does it take to build a product catalogue website?+
LiveSite24 builds and delivers your product catalogue website within 72 hours of receiving your brief. You fill in a short form with your company details, product list with photos and specs, and pricing. We handle design, development, SEO setup, and go-live — all within one working day.
Why not use Wix or Squarespace to build my own product catalogue website?+
DIY builders like Wix and Squarespace take 10–40 hours to learn and set up — time you should spend running your product catalogue business, not staring at a screen. They also produce generic-looking websites with weak SEO. LiveSite24 is a done-for-you service: you brief us in 10 minutes, our team designs, builds, and SEO-optimises your product catalogue website in 72 hours, and you go live without touching any software.
