The situation

What do Furniture Makers need from a website?

Furniture buyers in Kenya want to see real work before they commit. They search for sofa makers, custom kitchen cabinets or school desks, scroll through photos, and ask how long an order will take and whether delivery upcountry is possible. Carpenters and furniture workshops with a strong gallery and clear ordering steps turn that browsing into deposits.

Furniture making is a significant craft in the small-business economy. KNBS's 2016 MSME survey placed furniture among the main manufacturing activities of small businesses, alongside tailoring, food processing and metal fabrication. Much of that work is made to order, which makes a clear enquiry process more valuable to a workshop than a printed price list.

We build furniture maker websites with project galleries, product pages for standard pieces, custom order forms and M-Pesa deposits through an online store. The site is secured with free SSL, and a .co.ke domain helps showrooms and workshops look established to hotels, schools and offices placing larger orders.

Common problems

What usually goes wrong?

Photos scattered across phones

Your best pieces live in WhatsApp chats and old phone galleries, so customers never see the full range of what you can make.

Deposits and specs get muddled

Custom orders agreed over calls leave room for disagreement on fabric, dimensions and finish when the piece is delivered.

Big clients expect a proper supplier

Hotels, schools and offices prefer suppliers with a website, business email and a written quotation process.

Questions

Furniture Makers: questions answered

How do furniture makers get customers online in Kenya?
Most buyers start by searching Google or browsing Facebook and Instagram for designs they like. A website with a well-organised gallery, clear lead times and an easy way to request a custom piece gives those buyers confidence. Linking every social post back to your website keeps enquiries together in one place.
Should I show furniture prices on my website?
Show starting prices for standard designs, such as a three-seater sofa or a queen bed, and ask for a quote on custom work. Starting prices filter out enquiries that do not fit your range while still leaving room to price different woods, fabrics and sizes fairly for each client.
Can customers pay a furniture deposit through the website?
Yes. We can set up an online store checkout where customers pay a deposit through M-Pesa to confirm an order. The balance is usually paid on delivery or collection. Having deposits recorded against each order makes it much easier to plan workshop time and buy materials on schedule.
How do I win furniture supply work from schools and hotels?
Institutions look for suppliers that appear established: a website with past projects, a physical workshop address, business email and a clear quotation process. A dedicated page for contract furniture, with photos of previous bulk jobs and a quote request form, makes your workshop far easier to shortlist.
Will a gallery with many photos make my site slow?
Not if images are prepared properly. We resize and compress photos before uploading so galleries stay sharp but load quickly on mobile networks. If your portfolio grows very large, Corporate Hosting gives extra headroom and daily backups, so years of project photos are never lost to a mistake.
What should a furniture website include?
At minimum: a gallery of finished work, standard designs with dimensions, a custom order form, delivery information, your workshop location and a WhatsApp button. Add an about page explaining your materials and craftsmanship, because buyers paying for solid wood or custom upholstery want to know who is making it.
