Two audiences arrive on the same site
A shopper wants to know what is in the jar and where to buy it. A buyer wants case configuration, minimum order, lead times and delivery areas. One website has to serve both without burying either.

- Direct ecommerce and subscriptions where you actually sell
- Fast on a phone in a supermarket aisle or a buyer meeting

What matters
A shopper and a buyer read the same site differently
One is deciding whether to put the product in a basket. The other is deciding whether to put it on a shelf or a menu.
Product information is the product page
Ingredients, allergens, nutrition, storage, shelf life, barcode and pack format are the details people search for and the details a listing decision depends on. Held once and reused, they stay consistent everywhere they appear.
The brand story has to be true
Provenance, method and the people behind the range are what separate a food or drink brand from a commodity. It only works when every claim is something you can stand behind, which is why we publish what you supply and nothing more.
Ranges change more often than websites
New lines, seasonal runs, reformulations, pack changes and discontinued products all move through the year. Your team needs to make those edits, including label information, without waiting on a developer.
Food and drink businesses
Built around how your products reach people
Food producers and brands
Small batch makers, packaged food brands and specialist producers selling through retail, food service or both.
- Range and product pages built around real pack data
- Allergen and ingredient information presented clearly
- Stockist finder your team can update without a developer
- Recipes and serving ideas linked to the products used
Drinks brands and direct sellers
Beverage brands, roasters and producers taking orders direct alongside their trade channels.
- Ecommerce for single units, cases and mixed selections
- Subscriptions with clear pause and cancellation terms
- Shipping rates, timings and restrictions shown before checkout
- Age or category restrictions handled where they apply
Wholesale and distribution
Producers, importers and distributors whose website has to open trade conversations rather than take payments.
- Trade section with case sizes, MOQ and lead times
- Downloadable line sheets and product specification files
- Trade enquiry forms routed to the right sales contact
- Optional gated pricing for approved trade accounts
Structure
The pages a food and beverage website needs
Range, provenance, stockists, trade, recipes and shop working as one path rather than a brochure with a contact form at the end.
Range and product pages
One page per product or pack, carrying ingredients, allergens, nutrition, storage, shelf life, formats and imagery, structured so search engines and buyers read the same facts.
Brand and provenance
How the product is made, where ingredients come from and who makes it, written from your own material rather than generic craft language.
Where to buy
A stockist list or map for retail customers, kept editable, plus clear routes into your own shop when you sell direct.
Wholesale and trade
Case configuration, minimum order, lead times, delivery areas, line sheets and a trade enquiry form that reaches the person who answers it.
Recipes and serves
Practical content linked to the products used. It earns search visibility outside brand terms and gives your team something to publish between launches.
Shop and checkout
Where direct selling makes sense: cases, bundles, subscriptions, shipping rules and a checkout that does not lose people on a phone.
Product data
Get the product record right and every page benefits
Most food and drink sites fall down on detail. When ingredients, allergens, nutrition, pack formats and case sizes live in one structured record, they stay consistent across the shop, the trade section, filters and search results, and a reformulation is a single edit.
- Ingredients, allergens and nutrition held as structured fields, not images
- Pack formats, case sizes, barcodes and shelf life on the same record
- Dietary and category filters driven by that data rather than tags typed by hand
- Product data reused across shop, wholesale and stockist pages
- Reformulations and pack changes editable by your team in one place
- Discontinued lines retired with redirects instead of dead pages
Wholesale and trade
A trade route that does not get in the shopper's way
Case configuration, minimum order, lead times and line sheets in their own section, with enquiries reaching the person who can answer them.

Where to find us
Stockist finderBy postcode
Trade enquiryPrice list
Trade buyers are looking for specifics, and they lose patience quickly with a site that only tells a brand story. We separate the trade path so buyers reach the commercial detail in one step, while retail visitors keep a clean route to the range and the shop.
- Trade section separated from retail so neither audience is confused
- Minimum order, lead time and delivery areas stated before an enquiry
- Line sheets and specification documents available to download
- Trade enquiry forms that capture outlet type, volume and location
- Optional login for approved accounts where pricing must stay private
- Enquiries routed to the right person with the detail already captured
Selling direct
Ecommerce that suits how food and drink actually ships
Cases, mixed selections, subscriptions, chilled delivery windows and regional restrictions are normal in this category and awkward in a default store setup. They are handled deliberately, and the rules are shown before someone reaches the payment step.
Cases and bundles Subscriptions Your existing payment provider
- Cases, bundles and mixed selections handled properly, not as awkward variants
- Subscriptions with plain pause, skip and cancellation terms
- Shipping rates, cut off times and regional restrictions shown early
- Chilled or fragile delivery rules explained before checkout
- Payment through your existing provider, with no card data on the site
- Order confirmation and dispatch messaging that reduces support email
Retailer discovery
Helping someone find the product on a shelf near them
When you sell through retail and food service, the website's job is to convert interest into a purchase somewhere else. That means a stockist list your team can keep current, searchable by location, and an honest next step when nothing is nearby.
- Stockist finder searchable by location, with an editable list behind it
- Independent and food service stockists presented the same way
- Online retailers linked only where the listing genuinely exists
- Location pages only where you have a real presence to describe
- Clear next step when a product is not stocked nearby
- No retailer logos or partnerships published without your confirmation
Recipes and resources
Content that earns attention between launches
Recipes, serving ideas, pairings and storage guidance answer the questions people already search for, and they give every product a reason to be linked from somewhere useful. Written from your own kitchen notes, they read as yours rather than as filler.
Recipes linked to products Trade and press material Your own photography
- Recipes structured for search and linked to the products they use
- Serving, pairing and storage guidance written for real questions
- Provenance and process content built from your own notes and photography
- Seasonal campaigns published without rebuilding pages each time
- Press and trade material kept in one place for buyers and journalists
- A publishing workflow your team can run after handover
Accuracy and trust
Credibility built from things you can evidence
Food and drink is a regulated category and a trust purchase. We publish your certifications, sourcing statements, labelling information and stockist listings exactly as you supply and approve them, and we do not write reviews, awards, sales figures or retailer relationships on your behalf.
Evidenced claims only Real stockists only Labelling supplied by you
- Certifications and accreditations published only when evidenced
- Reviews shown only from a genuine source you can point to
- Retailer and distribution claims limited to real listings
- Provenance and sourcing statements written from your own records
- Allergen and labelling information supplied and approved by you
- No invented awards, sales figures, customer counts or results
Performance and accessibility
Fast on mobile data, readable for everyone
Shoppers check ingredients on a phone, sometimes standing in an aisle, and allergen information has to be legible to someone who depends on it. Pages are built to load quickly under those conditions and to meet accessibility guidance.
Performance budgets Accessibility testing Mobile first
- Product and recipe imagery in modern formats at responsive sizes
- Fast loading on mobile data, where most shopper traffic arrives
- Accessible forms and filters with labels, errors and visible focus
- Allergen information readable at accessible contrast and text sizes
- Stable layouts that do not shift while product images load
- Keyboard and screen reader testing across shop and enquiry flows
Search
Found by product, by category and by recipe
- Product and range pages structured to rank on their own terms
- Unique titles, descriptions and headings across a large catalogue
- Recipe and guide content answering the questions shoppers search for
- Structured data describing the business, products and recipes accurately
- Clean URLs, internal linking and a maintained sitemap as lines change
- Redirects handled properly when products are renamed or retired
Product and recipe pages earn more than a home page
People search for a product type, a dietary need or a dish rather than for a brand they have not met yet. Pages written for a specific product and supported by recipes that answer real questions are how a food or drink site earns traffic outside paid channels.
Recipes structured for search and linked to the products used.
Structured data describing the business and its products accurately.
