It never ceases to amaze us what we learn with every new client. Actually, in this case John isn’t a new client, as we’ve worked with him several times before.

This time, John wanted an e-commerce website for his Hairdressing Scissor business. Did you know it isn’t uncommon for Hairdressing Scissors to cost over two hundred pounds a pair? The ‘Keiun Damascus R’ is over £500 … we were stunned.

With more than one website offering, the first step was to quiz John to find out exactly what he needed. One thing quickly became clear: John (a self-confessed computer beginner) wanted to manage and develop the site himself. We felt a Wordpress site with an e-commerce Theme would be the best choice. WordPress is quite straightforward to use, and there’s no shortage of people John would be able to call on for help in the future.

Finding a suitable theme wasn’t easy … there’s no ‘try-before-you-buy’ facility with most WordPress themes. We were guided by Alison, our WordPress expert, and she configured the chosen theme with several categories and the first 40 products.

As soon as we handed the site over to John, the phone calls and questions started. Luckily, John’s a quick learner, and within a very short time, he’d created new pages and added several other product ranges. John is just the sort of client we like to work with: he appreciates our hard work, gets stuck in, and won’t let his website stagnate.

John is known throughout the South East of England as The Scissor Man. Now he’s added the online Hairdressing scissor shop to his scissor sharpening and maintenance service, he’s sure to become known right across the country.
