Little Fire Digital for Bespoke Website Development in Cumbria
At Little Fire, we have been developing bespoke online solutions across the country since the beginning of the internet. We’ve fixed a lot of intricate problems and implemented some terrific solutions.
Amongst our projects, Little Fire have: authored stock management systems for a Sheffield supermarket franchise, integrated the Brightpearl Retail Operating System with unique websites, created custom products to sell maps from animated browsable maps, loans to help finish AFC Wimbledon’s Plough Lane Stadium; and a custom checkout application to sell mountaineering expeditions online.
Web Development in Cumbria – Every Problem is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business is your own, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some brief case studies to demonstrate some of the solutions Little Fire Digital Ltd have delivered.
Custom Website Development for Business Worldwide
Aiming High
From 1987 until today, Jagged Globe has been the leading firm running mountaineering expeditions for clients. 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 have done a great deal. All whilst keeping the original design and its beautiful photography.
It hasn’t been simple, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Ensure the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the booking user-experience. Returning clients can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a application for recording climber capacity. Climbing in the wilderness is not without risk and is normally physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each and every client is fit to explore.
- Integrated the company’s site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the client display the many photos that the customers collect, we have developed tools to upload and manage climbers’ photos in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for e-commerce in Ambleside
As one of busiest online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the Country, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to develop enterprise-level e-commerce.
Built on the market-leading Shopify system, the new Rails of Sheffield website has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways marketplace permits pre-orders with very long delivery timeframes. We have created a bespoke, distinct pre-order system using javascript integrated directly into the Shopify framework.
- Stock management and order fulfilment is processed using Peoplevox. We coordinated teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really like to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital constructed the website for Worthing beauty clinic, Casafia, when they needed something a little different. An ideal task for Little Fire; we collaborated with our client to design the logo and branding combining soft colours and sharp, stylish design.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system developed specifically for the beauty clinic sector.
Pabau is built to directly work with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the main site. Mailing list subscription forms on the main website add clients directly a Mailchimp list and the client can manage their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the IRC client is integrated to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular chat platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had decades dispossessed of their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had finally managed to purchase a site and start building the their new stadium on the same street, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new ground was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, Little Fire stepped in, worked like fools to delivered a standalone platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the greatest fundraising project in the history of the English football league, and Little Fire 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.”
