Christmas Tree Collections
Rebuilt in six days to power a charity season that has raised £129,355.
Christmas Tree Collections picks up Christmas trees from outside people's houses every January, across Sheffield and Rotherham. It's run by Joel Berry of Berry's Trees and Gardens and Mitchel Ingham of JM Trees and Groundcare, for Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity, and since 2018 it has raised £129,355. Bookings open once a year and the whole season goes through one website, so we rebuilt it around getting every booking right. Joel's list came in on 29 October and the new site went live on 4 November, with bookings open the same minute.
Where friction was costing momentum before the rebuild.
All annual fundraising compressed into one seasonal window
Unlike year-round stores, the entire charitable collection campaign funnels through one annual launch window where checkout errors mean missed donations for Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity.
Strict postcode and collection-date boundaries
Vans operate across defined Sheffield and Rotherham S-postcodes, requiring clean frontend address checks so supporters only book eligible collection zones.
Six-day launch window from final requirements to live bookings
Joel’s specification list arrived on 29 October with bookings scheduled to open on 4 November — zero margin for slow agency approvals or post-launch hotfixes.
What we changed, engineered, and shipped cleanly.
Custom WooCommerce postcode & zone plugin
Built dedicated booking logic validating collection postcodes at the point of entry and grouping collections cleanly for routing teams.
Frictionless mobile donation & collection checkout
Stripped superfluous basket steps so supporters on their phones could select tree size, enter collection instructions, and donate in seconds.
Rapid 6-day build & live open coordination
Moved straight from 29 October specification to staging sign-off and live DNS launch on 4 November with bookings opening the very same minute.
Built for desktop clarity and thumb-first mobile conversion.

Free Website Concept
Most people can't picture their new website until they've paid for it. So we built a way to show them first: ask for a free concept, and a real page built around your business lands on your phone within 48 hours, with the build laid out, the exact price underneath and one tap to go ahead.

Adept Heating
A Gas Safe heating engineer with a stack of five star reviews and nowhere to send anybody. No website at all, while three firms with less proof sat above him in the search results. We built 34 bespoke pages, moved the domain, email and hosting across, and put the real reviews on the page.

Richard Wright runs a family damp proofing and building firm in Sheffield, with over 25 years in damp proofing and 9.98 out of 10 on Checkatrade from 150 reviews. The old website stopped scrolling halfway down the page, so most visitors never reached the phone number. We rebuilt it from scratch: fifteen pages, damp surveys first, their own photos and their customers' own words.
