Custom Web Development in Alford – A Solution for Every Project
Your business is your own and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few quick examples to demonstrate some of the solutions Little Fire have delivered.
Unique Website Development for Global Business
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been the foremost company organising high-altitude trips for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe organise expeditions for clients worldwide.
Although we didn’t construct the Jagged Globe website but we’ve completed a huge number of projects. All while preserving the original design with its beautiful imagery.
It’s not been straightforward, over the years we have:
- Redevelop so that the website meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking interface. Returning climbers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a system for recording climber capacity. Climbing mountains can be risky and is typically physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to know that each customer is fit to travel.
- Integrated the company’s site with the SendInBlue email marketing system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe make best use of the many pictures that the climbers collect, we have implemented systems to upload and manage customers’ images in bulk.
Web Development for e-commerce in Alford
As one of most successful online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the North, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire to provide an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Built on the industry-leading Shopify platform, the new Rails of Sheffield site has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway marketplace involves pre-orders with very long delivery times. To accommodate this, we have created a on-off, bespoke pre-order system using javascript integrated directly into the Shopify framework.
- Stock management and order fulfilment is processed using Peoplevox. Little Fire coordinated development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital developed the online presence for West Sussex beauty clinic, Casafia, when they needed something unique. A perfect task for us; Little Fire worked with the client to create the logo and branding which combines soft colours and clean, stylish layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau is directly integrated with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact branding of the corporate site. Mailing list subscription forms on the site add customers directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer can update their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the IRC widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular chat platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had decades away from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to buy a site and start building the their new home ground on the same street, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new ground was nearly completed but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, we stepped forward, worked like slaves and developed a unique platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It was the most successful fundraiser in the history of the English football league, and we 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.”
