Sutton Community Farm

South London based not-for-profit vegbox delivery company.

I approached Sam from South London based vegbox delivery company Sutton Community Farm via twitter in 2012 after seeing a tweet from the farm asking to hear from web developers regarding the redevelopment of their existing website.

His priority was to create a new website that would allow customers to manage their orders and pay online using a recurring order system, as well as streamlining the data downloads to make it easier to prepare delivery information for the veg box delivery drivers, packing labels, etc.

I suggested utilising the power of WordPress for the core of the farm’s new website to keep costs down, enabling us to focus our time on the customer management and ordering side of things. Whilst initially the plan was to adapt an existing WordPress e-commerce add-on to the job of managing the recurring veg box orders, it soon became apparent that it was going to be simpler to develop a bespoke WordPress plugin for the job.

The Sutton Community Farm website went live in May of 2013 and handled over 1000 regular customers before being redeveloped in early 2016.

Why hire Jem for your WordPress project?

    We wanted to update our old website, Jem came highly recommended and I can see why. She had lots of great ideas and design skills, nothing was too much trouble, with very prompt replies to our emails. The end result blew me away, and I would recommend her web design services to anyone. 100% total satisfaction.

    Jem has been unflinchingly helpful with every stage of the development of the Albion site, and has helped us keep it up to date and functioning effectively, solving problems as they have arisen. I am a techno-phobe, but Jem has been unfailingly supportive, helpful, always friendly and efficient. Also her rates seem really good value, but don’t tell her I said so.

    Working with Jem has been nothing but a pleasure. From the get go she was friendly and understanding. She knew exactly what I wanted and already had a plan in place from the first phone call!

    She kept to the schedule she laid out and was very transparent the whole way through and I cannot recommend her enough. Even when problems arised (admittadly my own fault) she sorted them out without a fuss. She responded to every question I had in a professional and curteous manner.

    I will definitely be using her in the future for any WordPress work than I need.

Why I love working with WordPress

I've been using WordPress since the heady days of version 1.0 and developing WordPress websites commercially since version 1.5 (released in 2005!)
