The problem

RQD Farm is a family-run mango farm in Bankot village, Mandangad taluka, in Ratnagiri district on Maharashtra's Konkan coast. It grows and sells GI-tagged Ratnagiri and Devgad Alphonso (Hapus) mangoes, alongside varieties such as Kesar, Dasheri, Langda and Chausa and products such as mango pulp, murabba and pickle. Its buyers are households across India, people sending mangoes as gifts and businesses ordering in bulk. Alphonso buyers worry about carbide-ripened fakes and want to know where the fruit comes from, what size they are getting and how long delivery takes, and the season runs only from April to June. The site needed to sell the range online, answer those questions plainly and let customers order ahead of the harvest.

What we built

We built the site as a Wix storefront. The main menu leads to the full store and to separate Ratnagiri Alphonso, Devgad Alphonso and Other Varieties of Mangoes categories alongside FAQ, About Us and Blog, with search and customer log-in in the header. All Products, holding 36 items at the time of review, can be filtered by product type, price, pack size, quantity and weight. Product cards show regular and sale prices in rupees with Add to Basket, and product pages add a pack-size choice, number of boxes, pre-order for the coming harvest, a wishlist and customer reviews.

The home page covers GI-tagged origin and natural ripening, walks through harvest, grading, packing and delivery in four steps, and gives delivery times by city. A tabbed FAQ covers mangoes, ordering and payment, shipping, storage and refunds, and the blog carries buying and ripening guides. The About page holds the farm's story, business details and a contact form, and the footer links to shipping, refund, return and privacy policies beside a WhatsApp button.
