Candle Website Examples - 5 Sites That Light Up the Web
Read our review of 5 existing candle websites to help you create the best possible site for your own business.
Websites for candle businesses are mostly used for online purchases, so these sites highlight the products with high-quality images, ingredient lists, and a secure online shopping system. A great way to encourage visitors to your site is to integrate your site with Google and Facebook ads, so potential customers see your site and are encouraged to visit it.

1. Lit & Co. Candles
Boise, Idaho, U.S.
Lit & Co. produces soy candles and home fragrances in small batches for sale online and in their two retail stores in Boise. The site opens immediately with a list of products for sale, with the introduction to the business only available further down the home page.
Clear location, store hours, and contact details are prominently displayed, and the site features an accessibility toolbar. The online shopping section clearly lists pricing, with strong CTAs and an in-depth description of the product. I found that related products encourage the customer to keep shopping.
2. Idle & Wood Candle Co.
Kitchener, Ontario, Canada
Idle & Wood is an environmentally-conscious candle company that makes soy candles with natural ingredients. I found the site clean and elegantly constructed, with high-quality images, prominent CTAs, and social media links. A nice addition to the site is the “Candle Care” page which tells visitors how to maximize their candle’s fragrance.
The menu allows for clear navigation that features links to contact details, locations, business information, and philosophy. Shipping information is also provided, with a coupon code for free shipping, encouraging visitors to the site to take the next step.
3. The Spitalfields Candle Co.
London, England, U.K.
The Spitalfields Candle Co. makes 100% natural soy candles that are sustainable and use high-quality essential oils. The site offers a strong design with good contrast, but the text could be larger to match the size of the images. The products are nicely categorized for easy shopping and include scent descriptions with size and weight information available.
Visitors to the site can also see a page dedicated to the different events the business participates in to sell their products in real life. A page about caring for your candles is also a great addition.
4. Rekindle Candle Co.
Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
Rekindle is a South African company that makes candles with ethically sourced wax poured into handmade ceramic vessels. The site features prominent social media links, contact details, and a GPS location for the physical store which is a good way to start if I was looking to buy one of these myself.
The online shop has high-quality images and includes detailed descriptions of each product. However, potential customers will need to visit another page to read descriptions of the different fragrances on offer. The online shopping system is not very intuitive, as there seems to be no link to the cart unless one clicks on “Add to Cart.”
5. Tree House Candles
Queensland, Australia
Tree House Candles sells pure beeswax candles from locally sourced beeswax. The site offers a rustic appeal that complements the product, with a cute bee icon replacing the more traditional arrow of the mouse on the desktop site. Navigation of the site is simple, as there are only two types of candles on sale, and a page on candle care makes a great addition.
The site offers many opportunities for the visitor to contact the business, including an online chat feature, a newsletter, and FAQs. There is also the option to select your country or region at the bottom of the page, as the business offers international shipping.
