The best food brand website templates of 2026: for snacks, spices, sweets and home kitchens.
The best website template for a food brand in 2026 sells on appetite and pack size, not paragraphs. For most small Indian food sellers, from namkeen and masalas to laddoos, pickles and coffee, that is the Food Store on SitesPlaced: laid out like The Whole Truth’s phone site, with a giant type headline, colourful category cards, pack sizes on every card and an Add to cart that turns into a − 1 + counter. For hundreds of everyday items, the Grocery Store fits better. Both are free, with UPI, COD and WhatsApp orders at 0% commission.
The short answer
Pick the Food Store for a focused range of your own products: snacks, spices, sweets, pickles, home bakes, coffee or tea. Pick the Grocery Store for a kirana, a staples shop or any long list of daily-use items people reorder.
Key takeaway
Food buyers want three answers before they tap: how much, for how much, and when it will arrive. The Food Store puts pack sizes and the saving on the card, lists each pack with its own price, and shows your dispatch promise under the header. No photoshoot needed: the first screen is your headline in huge type.
The two templates at a glance

|---|---|---|
| Best for | A focused range of your own food products | Many daily-use items, reordered often |
| Laid out like | The Whole Truth’s phone site | A quick-delivery grocery app |

| Product card | Pack sizes, the saving in rupees, Add to cart that turns into − 1 + | Compact, with the discount and an ADD button that turns into − 1 + |
| Product page | Each pack as a big card with its own price, plus the phone buy bar, the delivery line and your published coupon | A simpler page with the options and buy buttons |
| Menu on phones | Home, Shop, Track order and Cart pinned to the bottom | No bottom menu |
| See it | Gallery · Showcase shop | Gallery · Showcase shop |
The Whole Truth is not involved with SitesPlaced. The Food Store follows the layout of its phone site; your store uses your own name, photos and products.
1. Food Store: laid out like The Whole Truth
The Whole Truth sells with big, confident type and blocks of colour rather than glossy food photography. The Food Store follows that layout:
- A white header with a black strip under it. The strip carries your own dispatch line from Settings, for example “Dispatched within 48 hours”. No line set, no strip.
- A first screen made of type. Your headline in huge letters with your first product photo tilted beside it. Leave it blank and it shows your shop’s name, never a made-up slogan.
- Colour category cards that scroll sideways, each with the category picture and a coloured bar showing the name and how many products it holds.
- Big product cards in changing colours, carrying the name, the price, the old price struck through and the saving in rupees, such as “₹139 OFF”.
- Pack sizes on the card. A small chip on the photo lists your packs, for example “250 g · 500 g”, next to the star rating once you have real reviews.
- Add to cart that becomes a − 1 + counter. A product with more than one pack opens a small sheet to pick the pack first.
- Your story, set huge: your About text in very large type. Empty About, no section.
- A bottom menu on phones with Home, Shop, Track order and Cart.
On the product page, each pack or flavour is a big card with its own price, then the quantity, Add to cart and Buy now. Your description sits in a “What’s inside” fold, the natural place for ingredients and shelf life.
Why it works: big type sets your voice without a photographer, and pack sizes on the card answer “how much do I get?” before anyone asks.

2. Grocery Store: for many daily items
If your catalogue looks more like a kirana than a brand, the Grocery Store is laid out like a quick-delivery app: offer banners, a shop-by-category grid, deal cards and a dense grid of compact cards with an ADD button that turns into − 1 +.
Two honest notes. It is an older design, so a few sections arrive with sample text, such as “Deals of the day” and an “Easy returns” card; rewrite them or switch them off. And its product page is simpler: the phone buy bar, the delivery line, the coupon box and “Price on request” are on the Food Store, not this one.

Which one should you pick?
| If you sell | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Namkeen, makhana, granola or coffee in 200 g and 400 g packs | Food Store | Packs on the card, each with its own price on the product page |
| Masala blends, pickles or chutneys | Food Store | Colour category cards make a small range look full |
| Laddoos, barfi and festive sweet boxes | Food Store | Box sizes as packs; a combo box can be its own product |
| Home kitchen: made-to-order cakes or thalis | Food Store | “Price on request” with an Ask button that opens WhatsApp |
| A kirana, staples or a dry-fruits shop with 100+ items | Grocery Store | A dense grid built for reordering many everyday items |
A store’s template is fixed once created, though colours, fonts, text and sections stay editable. More in how to choose an online store template in 2026.
How to set up pack sizes with their own prices
- Add one product per item, not per pack. “Classic Masala Makhana” is one product; its 100 g, 200 g and 500 g packs are options on it. Selling on Instagram already? Import your posts as products first.
- Name the option Weight or Pack. The card looks for an option called Pack, Weight, Size, Qty or Net, and falls back to the first option. Type the values the way buyers read them: 250 g, 500 g, 1 kg.
- Give each pack its own price and stock. A pack at zero stock shows as sold out while the others stay buyable. See selling sizes and options.
- Add an MRP only when there is a real saving. If you set an MRP above the selling price, the card works out the “₹X OFF” chip from it. No MRP, no chip.
- Fill in the dispatch line and delivery settings. They power the black strip under the header and the delivery line under the buy button. Then tick the coupon you want shown on product pages, and publish.
What a food buyer checks before ordering
- How much, for how much: pack size and price side by side, on the card and the product page.
- When it will arrive: your dispatch strip and delivery line. Promise only what you can keep in your busiest week.
- Can I pay on delivery: if you charge extra for COD, the delivery line shows the online saving, which helps cut fake COD orders.
- What is in it: ingredients, allergens and shelf life in your description. See how to write product descriptions that sell.
- Is it any good: real reviews, with stars on cards, on the Growth plan.

FSSAI: a pointer, not advice
Check your own food rules
Food businesses in India come under FSSAI, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. Which registration or licence you need, and what must go on your label, depends on your business, so check the official FSSAI website or ask an adviser. SitesPlaced does not register you or check this for you. There is no special FSSAI field on the store: add your number yourself, for example in your About text and in each product’s description.

FAQs
What is the best website template for a food business in India?
For a food brand with its own range, such as snacks, spices, sweets, pickles or coffee, the Food Store on SitesPlaced. It is laid out like The Whole Truth’s phone site, shows pack sizes and the saving on every card, lists each pack with its own price, and takes UPI, COD and WhatsApp orders at 0% commission. For a kirana with many daily-use items, the Grocery Store. Both are free.
Can I sell homemade food online from my own website?
Yes. A SitesPlaced store is free to publish and takes orders with UPI, cards, cash on delivery or WhatsApp. Food businesses in India come under FSSAI, so check the official FSSAI website or an adviser for the registration or licence you need, and add your number to your About text and product descriptions yourself.
How do I show different prices for 250 g and 500 g packs?
Add one product and give it an option called Weight or Pack with values such as 250 g and 500 g, each with its own price and stock. The Food Store lists the packs on the product card and shows each pack as a card with its own price on the product page.
Should I use the Food Store or the Grocery Store?
The Food Store for a focused range of your own products presented as a brand. The Grocery Store for a long list of everyday items that people reorder. The template is fixed once the store is created, so open both showcase shops on your phone first.
Do I need professional food photos?
No. The Food Store’s first screen is your headline in giant type, not a banner photo, and its category cards borrow each category’s first product photo until you add one. Clear phone photos on a plain background are enough to start.
Is Shopify better for a food brand?
Shopify is a strong platform, and many large food brands use it with paid themes and apps on a monthly plan. For a small Indian food brand, SitesPlaced is the better start: the Food Store layout, pack sizes on the card and UPI, COD and WhatsApp checkout are free, with 0% commission, and you pay only when you want your own domain or reviews.
