Web Development in Dorset – 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 examples to show some of the wins we’ve achieved.
Bespoke Web Development for Business Worldwide
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been the leading company running mountaineering trips for climbers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe organise expeditions for climbers around the world.
Although we didn’t design the website but we have completed a huge number of projects. All while preserving its original scheme and its stunning photography.
It hasn’t been without difficulty, over the years we have:
- Make the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment system to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking procedure. Existing clients can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a application for recording climber capacity. Climbing mountains is not without danger and is typically physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each client is fit to travel.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe website with the SendInBlue mail management system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the client display the many images that the customers collect, we have built tools to upload and manage customers’ pictures in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for e-commerce in Beaminster
Rails of Sheffield, are one of most successful vendors of model railways and hobbies in the North – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to Little Fire Digital, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Built on the market-leading Shopify platform, 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 marketplace involves pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery timeframes. To allow this, we have created a on-off, separate pre-order basket and checkout 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 have to sell, we’d like to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital developed the online presence for Worthing medical aesthetics practice, Casafia, when they needed something unique. This was an ideal project for us; we worked with our client to design the logo and branding combining subtle colourways and crisp, stylish design.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system designed specifically for the beauty market.
Pabau is built to smoothly work with Mailchimp to handle customer communications so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate website. Mailing list subscription forms on the main website add customers directly a Mailchimp list and the customer is able to update their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular chat platform.
Bespoke Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years robbed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had finally managed to acquire a site and start building the their new stadium on the same street, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new ground was about to be finished but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, Little Fire Digital Ltd stepped forward, worked like slaves and created them a one-off platform from which the Dons could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It was the greatest fundraiser 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.”
