Manufacturing and processing: Website for candle manufacturers
A website for candle manufacturers that explains candle shapes, fragrance collections and private label options clearly enough for a retailer or brand to know what to ask for.
What visitors want to know from candle manufacturers.
Candle manufacturers attract two very different visitors: consumers looking for a scented candle and trade buyers who want their own line made. Many sites put container candles, pillars and fragrance collections side by side without showing which scents exist in which shape, which wax is poured, or what a sensible run looks like. A concept store then asks for an amber candle in a vessel you do not stock, or a hotel wants a signature scent without knowing a test burn has to come first. Each of those questions means a round of emails before there is anything resembling a serious enquiry.

From first visit to enquiry.
Organise collections by shape
The range is built around what you actually pour: container candles, pillars, dinner candles or seasonal shapes. Each shape lists the waxes and fragrances available and the combinations that do not exist. A visitor who picks a shape immediately sees the matching fragrance collections instead of one long list of every scent you have ever made.
Explain private label separately
Trade buyers get their own route showing how a private line comes together: choosing an existing formulation or a new scent, sample candles, sign-off on label and packaging, then production. Laying out that order up front helps a retailer or brand understand why a first delivery cannot follow straight after the enquiry.
Ask about run size and packaging
Anyone starting an enquiry is asked for shape, scent direction, packaging and the rough size of the run. A request for a jar or box you do not supply gets an explanation or an alternative right away. The office receives an enquiry it can assess without sending three emails back first.
Connected to your software.
Many candle makers run a consumer webshop alongside a PDF price list or catalogue for resellers. The website does not need to replace that shop. Product details such as fragrance names, burning advice and packaging sizes come from one source, so the shop and the trade pages stay consistent. You keep ownership of formulations and scent descriptions; the site only shows what has been cleared for publication. Trade enquiries go to whichever inbox or system already handles your quotes.
One site or a separate trade entrance
A combined site is easier to maintain, but a homeware buyer gets lost among single candles and a shopping basket. A separate trade entrance, with its own explanation of runs, lead times and labelling, shortens that route. Which layout fits depends on how much of your revenue comes from wholesale and private label work.
Show every fragrance or a curated set
A full fragrance library shows what you are capable of, but it also invites combinations that have not been tested in every shape. A curated set per collection, with a note that other scents are available on request, keeps expectations realistic. What appears on the site then matches formulations that have already passed a test burn.
Indicative prices or price on request
Indicative prices screen out enquiries that will never fit, but private label pricing depends on vessel, label, fragrance load and order size. Many candle makers therefore show a starting price for standard collections and an enquiry route for own lines. Visitors get a sense of scale without you being tied to a figure that later turns out wrong.

We build collection pages per candle shape, an explainer page on private label and an enquiry route that asks about shape, scent, packaging and run size. Before going live, we try it together with a typical enquiry from a shop that wants to buy an existing collection, and an unusual case: a brand that wants its own scent in its own glass. The collection from the web shop catalogue on the site and pages in other languages for buyers abroad are added whenever you want.

Explore pricing and optionsCan we show which candle shapes each fragrance comes in?
Yes. Each fragrance gets its own description listing the shapes and waxes it has been tested in. A visitor looking at a scent can see straight away whether it exists as a jar candle, a pillar or a refill. Untested combinations are left out, so nobody asks for something that still has to be developed.
How do we keep consumers out of the trade enquiry route?
The trade route asks for company name, type of buyer and expected run size in its first step. A consumer reading that is pointed to the webshop. The other way round, a buyer browsing consumer pages sees a clear link to wholesale and private label, so both groups end up in the right place quickly.
Should burning advice be on the website as well?
It is worth doing, because customers search for it and it heads off questions. Advice on wick length, burn time per session and distance from other objects can be shown per candle shape. Which label statements about fragrance ingredients you need is something to agree with your fragrance supplier; the site only carries wording you have approved.
Can resellers download product photos and copy?
Yes, through a protected page for trade customers with product photos, fragrance descriptions and packaging dimensions. You decide which files sit there and who gets access. Shops then use the same wording you do, and there is no need to send round a folder of images every time a new collection launches.
