Just Childsplay is a retail mail order and internet based company which specialises in supplying high quality educational toys and games to individual consumers and educational establishments. Based in Leicester, the company was established in early 2004 and were anticipating a successful Christmas; crucial to their business, particularly within the first year of trading. Disaster struck however, when they were let down by their website developer at the last minute. Just Childsplay were in need of a solution - fast.
“Xibis came highly recommended - we needed to be absolutely certain that the website developer we used would be able to create a working site for us within a very tight timescale, and within a specified budget,” explained Ash Narsey of JustChildsplay.
From the start speed was an important issue and Xibis made sure that they adhered rigorously to the deadlines set. Having been given an outline brief, Xibis put together a project specification, which was agreed within 48 hours and the development team produced a working site within a short timescale.
Not only did Xibis fulfil the brief efficiently, the whole project actually took less time than was originally quoted. "We are extremely pleased with the end result. The site does exactly what we wanted it to; we have had many favourable comments from our customers - at the end of the day, it is their views which really count and help to build a business.”
