# Websites for Egyptian exporters: catalogue and enquiries

What an Egyptian export company website needs: a buyer-ready catalogue, a quote request flow, certificate and logistics pages, and multilingual SEO.

If you export from Egypt, your website is often the first thing a foreign buyer
checks after finding your name in a directory, at a trade fair or in an email.
It should show what you sell in the buyer's language, prove you can meet their
standards, and make it easy to ask for a quote. In practice that means a
product catalogue, a request-for-quotation flow, pages for certificates and
logistics, and separate language versions that search engines can find.

This guide walks through each part, drawing on what we learned building the
[Alkhameesi](https://kftechsolutions.dev/projects/alkhameesi) platform for an Egyptian fresh-produce
exporter.

## What a foreign buyer checks first

An importer who lands on your site is usually asking three questions:

- **Do they have what I need?** Products, varieties, sizes, packing and seasons.
- **Can I trust them?** Company details, certificates, photos of the real facility and a physical address.
- **How do I get a price?** A clear way to ask for a quote, and what details to send.

A site that answers these in the first minute gets the enquiry. A site that
opens with a slideshow and a mission statement often does not.

## A catalogue built for buyers, not a brochure

An export catalogue is not an online shop. Buyers rarely pay on the site. They
compare specifications, then ask for a price based on quantity, destination and
delivery terms. Each product page should carry the facts a purchasing team asks
for:

| Field | What to show | Why the buyer needs it |
|---|---|---|
| Product and variety | Name, variety, grade or specification | Matches their spec sheet |
| Packing | Carton sizes, weights, pallet configuration | Sets freight and storage costs |
| Availability | Months available, typical lead time | Plans orders around your supply |
| Minimum order | Per shipment or per container | Filters serious enquiries |
| Origin and handling | Region, cold chain, shelf life | Supports their quality checks |
| Photos | Your real product and packing, not stock images | Builds trust |

For manufactured goods, swap in technical specifications and packaging
options. Manage the catalogue from a dashboard, so your team can add a product
or hide one that is out of stock without calling a developer.

## The request-for-quotation flow

For an exporter, the enquiry is the sale on the website. Design it as carefully
as a shop designs its checkout:

1. **A "Request a quote" button on every product page**, opening the form with that product already selected.
2. **A short form with what you need to price**: product, quantity, destination country or port, preferred delivery terms and contact details.
3. **A quote list** for buyers who want several products in one request.
4. **An instant confirmation email** telling the buyer when to expect a reply.
5. **A notification to your sales team**, with the enquiry saved in the dashboard so it never sits unread in one person's inbox.

Many buyers state delivery terms using the Incoterms rules published by the
International Chamber of Commerce, such as FOB or CIF. A drop-down with the
terms you actually offer saves an email round trip. Keep a WhatsApp button as
well, because some buyers prefer a quick chat before a formal request.

The form collects names, emails and phone numbers, so treat it as personal
data: say what you collect and why, and store it securely. Our guide to
[Egypt's data protection law for apps](https://kftechsolutions.dev/blog/egypt-data-protection-law-apps)
covers the basics.

## Certificate, quality and logistics pages

Trust is what separates you from the next exporter on the buyer's list. Give
these topics their own pages instead of burying them in the About text:

- **Certificates.** Show only the certificates you actually hold, with the issuing body, scope and expiry date. Never display a logo for a scheme you do not belong to.
- **Quality and process.** Farms or factory, sorting and packing lines, cold storage and testing, shown with real photos and short videos.
- **Logistics.** The ports you ship from, the packing formats you offer and the documents that travel with each shipment.
- **Company facts.** Legal name, address, year founded, the markets you export to and a named contact person.

## Languages and international SEO

Translate for the markets you sell to, not for every language you can. English
is the base for most export sites. Add Arabic, German, French or others where
you have buyers and someone who can answer enquiries in that language.

Google's documentation sets out clear rules for multilingual sites:

- **Use a separate URL for each language version**, such as /en/ and /de/, instead of switching language with cookies or browser settings.
- **Translate the content, not just the menus.** Google works out a page's language from its visible content, not from code such as the lang attribute.
- **Do not redirect visitors automatically** based on a guess about their language. Offer a clear language switcher instead.
- **Add hreflang annotations** in which each version lists itself and every other version. Google ignores them if two pages do not point to each other.
- **Set an x-default version** for visitors whose language you do not cover.

Beyond that, write product pages around the phrases buyers search for, add
structured data and keep the pages fast. Our guide on
[getting found on Google, ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude](https://kftechsolutions.dev/blog/get-found-on-google-chatgpt-gemini)
goes further into search and AI visibility.

## Speed and the small details that win replies

Buyers often open your site on a phone, between meetings. Compress photos,
avoid heavy video on the home page and test on a real phone. Show your time zone
and working days beside the contact details, use an email address on your own
domain rather than a free mailbox, and reply quickly: a good catalogue still
loses to a competitor who answers first.

## What KF Tech Solutions does here

We design and build export websites with a multilingual catalogue, a
request-for-quotation flow, a dashboard where your team manages products and
enquiries, and the technical SEO set-up for each language. The
[Alkhameesi](https://kftechsolutions.dev/projects/alkhameesi) platform is one example. See our
[web development service](https://kftechsolutions.dev/services/web-development) for how projects run,
and [what a company website costs in Egypt](https://kftechsolutions.dev/blog/company-website-cost-egypt)
for budgeting. If you also sell to consumers online, read about

## Common questions

### Do I need an online shop to sell abroad?

Usually not. Most B2B export orders are priced on quantity, destination and
delivery terms, so a catalogue with a quote request fits better than a cart with
fixed prices. A shop makes sense only if you also sell small orders online.

### Should I show prices on the site?

Most exporters do not, because the price depends on volume, season, packing and
freight. You can show a minimum order quantity and let the quote form handle the
rest.

### Which languages should the site start with?

English plus the language of your largest target market is a sensible start.
Add a language when you have buyers there and someone who can reply in it.

### Can my team update the catalogue without a developer?

Yes, if the site is built with a dashboard. Adding products, changing seasons,
uploading certificates and reading enquiries should all work without code.

### How long does an export website take to build?

It depends on the number of products and languages and on how much content is
ready. Translations and product photos are usually the slowest part, so start
gathering them early.
