Web Development in Bedwas – Every Challenge is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business and its issues are yours, until you tell us about them we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are few quick case studies to demonstrate some of the problems we’ve managed to resolve.
Website Development for Global Business
Aiming High
Since 1987, Jagged Globe has been one of the foremost company organising mountaineering adventures for clients. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers globally.
We didn’t construct the website but we’ve done a huge number of projects. All while retaining its original design and its beautiful imagery.
It’s not been without difficulty, to stay up to date we have:
- Redevelop so that the Jagged Globe website meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the online booking interface. Existing climbers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a application for recording client fitness. Climbing mountains can be dangerous and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each and every customer is safe to travel.
- Integrated the site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the company show the many photos that the clients collect, we have developed systems to upload and manage customers’ images in bulk.
Web Development for e-commerce in Bedwas
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the busiest vendors of model railways and hobbies in the North – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to us, we needed to deliver enterprise-level e-commerce.
Developed on the industry-leading Shopify system, the new Rails of Sheffield site has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway market involves pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery times. We have created a custom, separate pre-order system using javascript integrated directly into the Shopify framework.
- Stock management and order fulfilment is processed using Peoplevox. Little Fire Digital coordinated teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d really like to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
When Worthing medical aesthetics business, Casafia were looking to go online, they consulted the help of Little Fire {Digital Ltd}. An ideal project for us; Little Fire collaborated with the client to create the logo and branding featuring subtle colourways and clean, modern design.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system designed for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau is built to directly work with Mailchimp to handle customer communications so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the main site. Mailing list subscription forms on the website add users straight to a Mailchimp list and the customer is able to manage their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the IRC client works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred chat platform.
Custom Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years ejected from their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to purchase a site and start building the their new home ground on the same street, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new stadium was about to be finished but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, we stepped up and worked like slaves and developed a standalone platform from which the club could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the most successful 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.”
