Suffolk Farm Fencing
We recently completed redesign and development for this WordPress WooCommerce website for Suffolk Farm Fencing, a local family run business offering a range of quality fencing products.
The main focus of the project was to improve the website’s visuals, product category structure, and user experience.
In addition to the UX enhancements, we were also required to integrate the site with a Google Sheets-based stock system, enabling seamless data synchronisation. This ensures that the website’s users are viewing the most up to date pricing and stock level information.
The end result is a visually appealing and highly functional ecommerce platform.

In our collaboration with Lesley Teare, a distinguished textile artist and cross stitch designer, we overhauled her website, taking away the labour-intensive manual ordering process and created a streamlined, fully automated ecommerce platform. Integrating with PayPal for secure payments, the site now features a bespoke ‘My Account’ area where customers access their purchases through a one-time download link. This automation not only enhances user experience but also aligns with Lesley’s desire to dedicate more time to her family and creative pursuits. The project was a delightful melding of problem solving with technology alongside a backdrop of Lesley’s artistic talents.
