Web developer in Nadia for Santipur and Fulia handloom
Santipur and Fulia handloom sells well outside Bengal, often to a buyer who has never held the cloth. That buyer judges count, weave and colour from a photograph. The work of a web developer in Nadia, for that maker, is making the photograph and the page beside it honest enough to order from.
Overview
A marketplace listing and a maker's own page do different jobs
If you sell through a marketplace now, keep it. It brings the first sale. Your own site is where the repeat order goes, from a buyer who already trusts the work and can order again without a stranger's listing in between.
Ten pieces photographed properly give a distant buyer enough to judge your weaving and order. I want each of those ten to stand up to a close look.
Mayapur is the district's other pull. Visitors come from several countries, often reading in English, and plan their stay months ahead. A guest house serving them needs its own set of pages, built separately from anything for cloth.
What gets built here
What a handloom maker's page needs
Everything here helps a buyer in another state decide whether to order.
- One product page per piece — a real photograph and every detail of that piece, written for it alone.
- Colour true to the cloth — checked by you against the piece itself before the photograph goes up.
- A way to enquire or buy that works on a phone — a form or a WhatsApp button, whichever you'd rather answer.
- A link to Krishnanagar's clay work — useful when a buyer asks what else Nadia makes.
Where the care goes
Three jobs that take more care than people expect.
- 01
Colour correction
each picture adjusted until it matches what you see in the cloth - 02
The details, written out
count, weave and size, with price on request - 03
What launches first
a small selection you choose, with more added as pieces sell
What moves the number
Where a handloom site's cost comes from
The number of pieces at launch moves it most. For the method behind the figure, see how quotes work.
- Whether sold pieces stay up as a record of the work, or come down
- Whether buying happens on the site, or a simple enquiry form covers it for now
- How much colour correction the pictures need before they match the cloth
- Whether you also take guests, which is a separate set of pages
- A second language, once a buyer outside India asks for one
What a scope from me looks like
The scope, and what stays with you
Included
- A written scope: every page and feature as its own line, agreed before work starts
- Design to build, reviewed on a staging URL that stays open the whole project
- Mobile first — checked on a real phone
- Domain, hosting and every account created in your name from day one
- One product page per piece — count, weave, size, real photograph
- Basic on-page SEO: titles, descriptions, headings, sitemap, Search Console connected
- A runbook at handover: how to edit it, what renews and when
Phase two
- A shop with payment and dispatch, once ten pieces have sold from the site
- A second language, translated by a person
- Ongoing SEO once the site has traffic to read
- A maintenance plan once the site is live
- Logo and brand design, quoted separately from the build
Not doing
- Guaranteed rankings
- A launch before your sign-off
The written scope lists what launches and what waits for phase two, so you can see exactly what is being built before any design starts.
If a piece sells out, its page can stay up as a record of the work or come down. That choice is yours.
The pieces and their counts are yours to state, and I set them out on the page. I cannot handle the cloth from Kolkata, India.

FAQ
What makers want to know first
From selling online to what happens once the site is live.
I sell handloom through a marketplace. Do I need my own site?
- A marketplace finds first-time buyers. A maker's own site is where the ones who already trust the work come back, without another seller's listing beside yours. Keep both running.
Do buyers outside India find sites like this?
- Nobody can promise that a buyer abroad will find a particular site. What I can do is write every product page in plain English, with the details a distant buyer needs set out clearly, and connect the site to Search Console so you can see which countries the visits come from.
We take guests for Mayapur. Same page?
- No. Guests need rooms, dates and directions, which share nothing with a product page for cloth, so they get a separate set of pages.
Once it's live, who adds new pieces?
- You do, using the runbook that comes with handover, which shows how to add a piece and keep the pages current. When enough pieces have sold through enquiries, a shop with payment and dispatch can be added.
Next step
Two or three pieces, sent on WhatsApp
Take the photographs on your phone, just as the pieces are, and send them over. I'll ask about each one on the call, then write the first scope.
