Bespoke Web Development Staffordshire – Every Challenge is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business is your own and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few brief case studies to demonstrate some of the problems we’ve managed to resolve.
Bespoke Website Development for Global Business
Reaching for the Summit
Since the late 1980s, Jagged Globe has been the foremost firm organising mountaineering expeditions for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers around the world.
We didn’t construct the website but we’ve completed a great deal. All while retaining its original design and its stunning photography.
It’s not been straightforward, over the years we have:
- Make the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment system to take client deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the booking procedure. Existing climbers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a system for recording climber health. Climbing in the wilderness can be dangerous and is typically physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each and every climber is safe to explore.
- Integrated the site with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe make best use of the many images that the climbers collect, we have built tools to upload and manage climbers’ pictures in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for
Online Retail in Audley
As one of most successful online vendors of model railways and toys in the North, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to provide enterprise-level e-commerce.
Developed on the market-leading Shopify system, the new Rails of Sheffield website has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railways market involves pre-orders with extraordinarily 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. Little Fire Digital coordinated development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
When Worthing beauty business, Casafia were looking to launch, they consulted the help of Little Fire {Digital}. A dream job for Little Fire; we worked with the client to design the logo and branding which features subtle colourways with crisp, stylish design.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system developed for the beauty market.
Pabau is directly integrated with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the corporate site. Mailing list sign up forms on the site add clients straight to a Mailchimp mailing list and the client is able to update their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred chat platform.
Custom Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had decades away from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had amazingly managed to acquire a site and start building the their new stadium on the same road, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new stadium was nearly finished but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, Little Fire stepped forward, worked like fools to developed a bespoke platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It has been the greatest fundraising project in the history of the football league, and Little Fire Digital 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.”
