In our history, our team have: authored stock control systems for a Sheffield supermarket chain, integrated the Brightpearl order fulfilment system with unique websites, created unique product types to sell maps from animated browsable maps, bonds to help construct the Plough Lane Stadium for AFC Wimbledon; and a custom checkout page to sell mountaineering expeditions online.
Custom Web Development in Essex – 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 quick examples to show some of the wins Little Fire Digital Limited have achieved.
Unique Website Development for Worldwide Business
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been the foremost firm running high-altitude adventures for climbers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers globally.
Although we didn’t design the website but we’ve updated a great deal. All whilst retaining its original design with its beautiful imagery.
It’s not been simple, over the years we have:
- Ensure the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment system to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking system. Existing climbers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a system for recording client fitness. Climbing in the wilderness can be risky and is typically physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each and every customer is safe to travel.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe website with the SendInBlue email marketing system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the company show the many photos that the customers collect, we have implemented systems to upload and manage clients’ photos in bulk.
Unique Web Development for e-commerce in Basildon
As one of most successful online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the Country, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to provide an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Little Fire Digital built a new website on the industry-leading Shopify system which has proven to be the solution that Rails of Sheffield need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways market has pre-orders with very long delivery timeframes. To accommodate this, we have created a on-off, bespoke pre-order basket and checkout 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 Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital built the online presence for Worthing medical aesthetics business, Casafia, when they needed something unique. This was a dream project for Little Fire; we worked with the client to create the logo and branding which combines soft colours and sharp, modern layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed specifically for the medical aesthetics sector.
Pabau seamlessly works with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the corporate site. Mailing list subscription forms on the main website add users directly a Mailchimp list and the customer is able to change their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred chat platform.
Custom Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years away from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to buy a site and start building the their new stadium on the same street, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new stadium was about to be completed but they had run out of money.
Under insane time pressure, Little Fire stepped in and worked like fools and developed a unique platform from which the Dons could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the greatest fundraising effort 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.”
