Chinafacture

China Facture helps businesses manufacture their products in China. It finds suitable factories and suppliers and handles the manufacturing process and logistics — from prototypes and PCBs to moulding, certification and assembly.

China Facture helps businesses turn an idea into a mass-produced product in China. It is not a factory, it finds the right factories and suppliers and manages everything in between. For a founder with a prototype and no contacts in Shenzhen, that process is opaque and intimidating.

The site had to make a complex, multi-stage service feel manageable, and show it could serve both first-time founders and companies that only need one part of the process.

I built the site in PHP on the CodeIgniter framework with a Bootstrap front end. The headline, transforming your ideas into real products, is followed by the company's positioning in its own words: we are not a factory, but we will find the best for you.

The heart of the page is a nine-stage process, from fine-tuning the idea, sourcing and prototyping to moulding, assembly, certification and shipping to your office, each with the specific support provided. It turns an overwhelming journey into a sequence of clear steps.

Separate sections speak to incubators and angel investors, and to companies that only need prototypes or certification, and a featured work section shows real projects.
