The Challenge
What challenge did Anarkali face?
Anarkali sells a wide range of products, from Anarkali Basmati, SuperStar Basmati and Ponni rice to spices, dhalls, dried fruits and nuts. Its website needed to present this whole range clearly, and let customers buy online.
The site also had to manage stock behind the scenes, and reflect the brand's focus on quality, with design, colours and imagery that matched Anarkali's identity.

An inventory management system connected to the website
A CMS so the Anarkali team can update products and content themselves
Organised product categories for rice, spices, dhalls and beans, dried fruits and nuts
Brand pages covering Anarkali's brands, sourcing and quality checks at the source of origin
User-friendly navigation, so visitors can quickly find the products they want
A visual design using colours and imagery that reflect Anarkali's products and brand

FAQ
E-commerce websites: Common Questions
Questions businesses often ask before starting a project like this, answered from our experience building websites in Singapore since 2011.
Selling online lets a brand reach customers directly, alongside its wholesale and retail partners. It also gives the brand a place to tell its own story about quality and sourcing. Anarkali's website combines an online shop with brand and sourcing information.
WooCommerce suits brands that want their content and online shop on one WordPress website, which their own team can manage. It's flexible and can connect to other business systems. Anarkali's website runs on WordPress with a WooCommerce shop.
Connecting the two keeps stock levels accurate across online and offline sales, so customers don't order products that are out of stock. It also saves the team from updating stock in two places. Anarkali's website is connected to an inventory management system.
Group products into clear categories that match how customers shop, and give every product consistent information and photos. Add search, so customers can find items quickly. Anarkali's range is organised into rice, spices, dhalls and beans, and dried fruits and nuts.
