Best Business2Business Website

A business to business (B2B) website needs to be clear, to the point and aesthetically pleasing. The navigation through the website must be easy and understandable. The website must be able to offer detailed information about your product or service.

Since the consumer needs and business needs are different, there is a huge difference between a B2C and a Business2Busniess website. The sales cycle and lead focus is different and the amount of features, user experience and design needs are all different on a B2B website.

The B2B industry has grown drastically in the last decade. B2B sites are websites that allows a business to make a commercial transaction with another. This is usually done when sourcing materials or even services in the present scenario.

China is the leader in the B2B market with the highest number of B2B marketing agencies in the world, followed by the USA, India and Hong Kong.

If you wish to be a part of the B2B industry, here is a list of the world’s top best B2B websites.

It has gained most of its business from its partnership with China but it also has manufacturers registered from USA, India, Malaysia, and Pakistan.

It has it main operational unit based in Pakistan and the platform has become a part of CPEC. This will be of great benefit due to in the future. Lowest wholesale rates and quick delivery are the key factors helping it to grow.
