Website case study
AJ Global Trading
Custom export website with editable backend.
A premium, lightweight PHP website built for a Himalayan salt trading company. It includes a modern frontend, product catalog filters, editable content, image selection, WhatsApp inquiry flow, and security controls without WordPress dependency.
What it covers
Complete website package for a trading and export business.
This project is made to look like a polished company website while still being easy for a non-technical owner to manage. Text, contact details, hero slides, products, images, trust blocks, and page content are controlled through a simple backend.
Frontend Website
Home, products, about, export, quality, and contact pages with responsive layouts.
Admin Backend
Sidebar-based admin area for editing company details, sections, images, and products.
Product Catalog
Category filter buttons for edible, decor, spa, culinary, and future product groups.
Lead Flow
Contact form sends validated buyer inquiries to WhatsApp with a prepared message.
Business challenge
Most small exporter websites are either too static or too heavy.
The goal was to create a website that looks premium, gives buyers clear confidence, and remains easy to update without installing WordPress, plugins, page builders, or a database.
- Business owners need to update product images, text, contact details, and sections quickly.
- International buyers need clear pages for products, export process, quality, and contact.
- The website needs branded visuals, professional layout, and mobile-friendly performance.
Complete functionality
Built features included in the source code.
Every main area needed for a trading company website is included, with clean page separation and a manageable content structure.
Modern Home Page
Hero section, image slider content, excellence badge, about block, product preview, trust sections, and calls to action.
Product Catalog
Product cards use editable categories and filter buttons so buyers can browse by type without page reloads.
Export Page
Dedicated page for wholesale inquiries, packaging discussion, destination details, and buyer requirements.
Quality Page
Quality messaging, documentation support, packaging clarity, and buyer assurance content.
Contact Page
Company details, map embed, structured inquiry form, and WhatsApp redirect for fast communication.
Brand Assets
Logo, favicon, site icon, and branded Himalayan salt product images are included in the project.
Management overview
Simple backend for non-technical content control.
The admin panel is intentionally lightweight. It manages one structured JSON content file, which keeps the project portable and easy to host.
Working flow
How the website is managed.
- Login to the admin panel using the configured admin password.
- Update business details, page copy, product categories, product images, and hero slides.
- Save changes to the JSON content file.
- The public PHP pages read the latest content and update automatically.
- Buyers browse products, filter categories, and send inquiries through WhatsApp.
Security and control
Protection layers included for a safer PHP website.
The project includes practical security improvements for shared hosting and XAMPP-style PHP hosting. These controls are simple, understandable, and easy to maintain.
Password Admin
Admin login uses a password hash in configuration instead of displaying the password in public files.
Protected Folders
Access rules are included for content, includes, admin configuration, and upload areas through .htaccess files.
Safe Output
Frontend output is escaped in PHP to reduce broken markup and script injection risk from editable text.
Contact Validation
The contact form validates buyer fields and uses a honeypot field before building the WhatsApp message.
Local Assets
The website mainly uses local CSS, JavaScript, and images for faster loading and fewer third-party dependencies.
Deployment Headers
A security headers file is included for hosts that support custom HTTP headers.
Technology stack
No WordPress, no database, no heavy builder.
This is useful for clients who want a fast business website that can be customized, sold as a template, or adapted for another product trading company.
PHP
Server-side pages, includes, reusable header/footer, content loading, and form handling.
JSON CMS
One structured content file stores business data, pages, products, slides, and trust blocks.
HTML/CSS/JS
Responsive layout, animations, product filtering, mobile navigation, and visual polish.
Apache Hosting
Designed to run on XAMPP, cPanel PHP hosting, Hostinger PHP hosting, or similar servers.
