Web Development Bexley – A Solution for Every Project
Your business is yours, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some quick case studies to show some of the wins Little Fire have achieved.
Web Development for Business Worldwide
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been the leading operators organising mountaineering adventures for clients. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe organise adventures for customers worldwide.
Although we didn’t construct the website but we’ve done a great deal, whilst preserving the original design with its beautiful imagery.
It’s not been without difficulty, 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) DSS, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Completely redeveloped the online booking procedure. Returning climbers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a system for recording customer capacity. Climbing at high altitudes is not without risk and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every customer is fit to travel.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe website with the SendInBlue email marketing system so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the client make best use of the many photos that the customers collect, we have implemented systems to upload and manage clients’ images in bulk.
Unique Web Development for
e-commerce in Bexleyheath
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the busiest online retailers of model railways and craft goods in the country – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to us, we needed to deliver enterprise-level e-commerce.
Developed on the market-leading Shopify system, the new Rails of Sheffield site has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railway market involves pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery timeframes. To allow this, we have created a on-off, separate pre-order system using javascript integrated directly into the Shopify framework.
- Stock management and order fulfilment is processed using Peoplevox. We coordinated development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
When West Sussex beauty practice, Casafia were looking to go online, they asked for the help of Little Fire {Digital Ltd}. This was an ideal task for Little Fire; we collaborated with our client to create the logo and branding combining subtle colours with crisp, stylish layout.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau is smoothly integrated with Mailchimp to handle customer communications so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the main site. Mailing list sign up forms on the website add customers directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the user can change their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual chat platform.
Unique Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. 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 stadium was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, Little Fire Digital Ltd stepped up, worked like slaves to delivered a standalone platform from which AFC Wimbledon 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.”
