Your business and its opportunities are yours, until you share them with us we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are few micro case studies to demonstrate some of the wins Little Fire Digital have achieved.
Unique Website Development for International Businesses
Reaching for the Peaks
From the late 1980s until today, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading company running mountaineering trips for climbers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise trips for customers globally.
Although we didn’t design the Jagged Globe website but we have updated a huge number of projects, while keeping the original design with its impressive imagery.
It’s not been straightforward, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Ensure 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.
- Completely redesigned the booking procedure. Returning customers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a procedure for recording customer health. Climbing at high altitudes is not without risk and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each and every climber is fit to explore.
- Integrated the company’s site with the SendInBlue mail management system so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe make best use of the many pictures that the customers collect, we have built systems to upload and manage climbers’ pictures in bulk.
Web Development for Online Retail in Berwick-Upon-Tweed
Rails of Sheffield, are one of largest online retailers of model railways and craft goods in the North – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to Little Fire Digital Limited, we needed to deliver enterprise-level e-commerce.
Developed on the rock-solid Shopify platform, the new Rails of Sheffield website has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways market has pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery times. To allow this, 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. We coordinated teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
When Worthing medical aesthetics business, Casafia were looking to go online, they consulted the help of Little Fire {Digital}. This was an ideal task for us; Little Fire collaborated with the client to develop the logo and branding which combines soft colours and crisp, stylish design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau directly works with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we completed 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 clients directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer can manage their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual text platform.
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 purchase a site and start building the their new home ground on the same street, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new ground was nearly finished but they had run out of money.
Under insane time pressure, Little Fire Digital Limited stepped forward and worked like slaves to developed a standalone platform from which the Dons could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It has been 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.”
