Today in a QQ group, I saw someone looking for help to build a website for selling navel oranges, and they even provided a demo site—essentially, they wanted a similar fruit-selling website. Several people in the group thought it was simple, but none were willing to help because such clients typically offer low prices, have many demands, and post-sales support is troublesome. Of course, expecting someone to do it for free isn't realistic either; their time is valuable too. So, Naiba here shares
the steps and process to build your own fruit-selling website. Overall, the method to build your own fruit-selling website is similar to
Steps and process of building a websitebuilding a foreign trade independent website. Below is a detailed explanation.
Demo site provided by netizen
The website shared by the netizen in the group is for selling navel oranges, with separate mobile and desktop versions. Here, I've taken a screenshot of the desktop version; if you're interested in the mobile version, search for the site name shown in the image to see it yourself.
Next, Naiba will teach you how to create a website for selling fruit products similar to the screenshot above.
Preliminary Preparation
- Domain (How to Choose a Domain Name for Beginners Building a Website）
- Server (Recommended VPS that are stable and suitable for beginners）
- Website Program
- Website Template
For domain and server, refer to
Steps and process of building a websitethe introduction in Naibabiji, which won't be repeated here. For the website program, the demo site uses dedecms, so we'll also use dedecms to build it here.
Program Download AddressFor website templates, there are many sites online where you can download free dedecms templates. You can search for them yourself; here, I found a theme for selling dragon fruit.
Template Download AddressInstall Website Program
If you purchased shared hosting, you can directly start installing the website program. If you bought a VPS, first set up the website environment on the VPS using either LNMP or Baota Panel.

Then, open http://your-domain.com/install/index.php in your browser to begin the installation.
2. Check „I have read and agree to this agreement“ and click Continue; the system will then redirect to the environment detection page.
3. Check the server environment. If it fully meets dedecms's installation requirements, click Continue directly. If not, identify and resolve the issues accordingly.
4. Enter the database information, then continue.
5. Set the administrator account information.

Replace website Template
If you directly downloaded the template file provided on this page, then after logging into the dede backend, find: „System“ - „Database Backup/Restore“ Click „Data Restore“ in the top right corner of the screen Click the „Start Restore“ button at the bottom of the screen Confirm the website style (click Confirm regardless of whether you modify it) Click „System“ --- System Basic Parameters Change „Site Root URL“ to your website URL, e.g., http://www.xxx.com/ (for local installation, keep it as http://127.0.0.1.) Click the „Confirm“ button Update the entire site cache: Click „Generate“ - „Update System Cache“ Update the website: Click „Generate“ - „One-Click Update Website“ - „Update All“ - „Start Update“ Click „Generate“ - „Update Homepage HTML“ At this point, the dragon fruit seedling wholesale template installation is complete. Visit the website; it should look like the following.
Website Detail Modifications
If you want to modify information on the website such as the logo image or phone number, simply replace the corresponding images in your website's root directory skin/images. (Yes, you'll also need to know Photoshop.) For webpage detail information, like text, you'll need to edit the template information to make changes. If you need to modify article content, edit it in the backend articles. In the end, you'll find that
building a professional website yourselfseems quite simple, but actually involves quite a lot.
Other Notes
dedecms is a decent website building program, and many domestic websites use it. However, Naiba doesn't recommend it for beginners because, for novice users, dedecms lacks the high customizability of
WordPress. WordPress has a vast number of website templates, and unlike the fixed template in this article's case, they aren't hardcoded. Additionally, WordPress allows you to design web pages yourself using page builder plugins without needing to know code. Another issue is that dedecms has many vulnerabilities; if your website security isn't well-maintained, it's easily hacked.
