Bespoke Web Development Oxfordshire – Every Challenge is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business is yours and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few micro case studies to show some of the problems Little Fire have managed to resolve.
Custom Web Development for Businesses Worldwide
Reaching for the Peaks
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading operators running high-altitude adventures for customers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve clients worldwide.
We didn’t build the website but we’ve done a great deal. All whilst keeping the original design with its beautiful photography.
It’s not been straightforward, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Redevelop so that the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking system. Returning climbers can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a system for recording customer capacity. Climbing mountains is not without risk and is often physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each and every climber is fit to explore.
- Integrated the website with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe display the many pictures that the customers collect, we have developed an application to upload and manage clients’ pictures in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for
e-commerce in Abingdon
Amongst the largest online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the Country, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire to create enterprise-level e-commerce.
Built on the market-leading Shopify platform, the new Rails of Sheffield site has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway marketplace permits pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery times. We have created a custom, distinct pre-order basket and checkout using javascript integrated directly into the Shopify framework.
- Stock management and order fulfilment is processed using Peoplevox. We coordinated development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
When West Sussex medical aesthetics clinic, Casafia were looking to build their website, they consulted the help of Little Fire {Digital}. A dream task for us; we collaborated with the client to create the logo and branding combining soft colours with sharp, modern design.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system created specifically for the medical aesthetics sector.
Pabau is built to smoothly work with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate website. Mailing list sign up forms on the main site add users straight to a Mailchimp list and the customer can manage their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget is integrated to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular chat platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had years robbed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had finally managed to buy a site and start building the their new home ground on the same road, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new stadium was almost completed but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, we stepped in and worked like fools to developed a one-off platform from which the club could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It has been the most successful fundraising effort in the history of the English football league, and Little Fire Digital Limited helped it to make it happen. Read the case study to find out more.
“Wimbledon fans are always at their best in a crisis and we like a challenge. So when we needed to stop control of the club being sold off in late 2019, a few of us suggested launching a Bond scheme.
That idea went from concept to a live website in a fortnight thanks to the tireless efforts of Simon and Little Fire.
They had to deal with all of the standard website challenges (design, layout, content etc) as well complying with legal regulations and compliance policies that were being finalised as we went along.
Oh, and that fortnight included Christmas and New Year. It was a difficult brief on an impossible timescale, but they threw themselves into it wholeheartedly and delivered a well-designed, easy-to-use robust and secure solution under all that pressure.
And the campaign? Well that raised over £5m in a matter of weeks and is the largest bond raise by a British football club ever. If Little Fire can produce work like this so quickly and effectively, I can only imagine how much they could achieve for your business if you give them a sensible timeframe. We are indebted to Simon and his team. You helped Bring The Dons Home.”
