Little Fire Digital for Custom Website Development in Oxfordshire
At Little Fire, we have been authoring bespoke websites across the country for many years. We’ve solved a lot of intricate issues and implemented many great solutions.
In our history, Little Fire have: written stock control systems for a Sheffield supermarket chain, integrated the Brightpearl Retail Operating System with unique websites, created unique product types to sell maps from Google maps, bonds to help construct the Plough Lane Stadium for AFC Wimbledon; and a simplified checkout procedure to sell mountaineering expeditions online.
Bespoke Web Development in Oxfordshire – A Solution for Every Project
Your business is yours, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few quick case studies to demonstrate some of the problems Little Fire have managed to fix.
Unique Web Development for Worldwide Business
Aiming High
From the late 1980s until today, Jagged Globe has been the foremost company organising high-altitude expeditions for climbers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve clients worldwide.
We didn’t build the Jagged Globe website but we’ve updated a great deal, while keeping the original scheme with its beautiful photography.
It’s not been without difficulty, over the years we have had to:
- Redesign so that the Jagged Globe website meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment system to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking interface. Existing clients can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a system for recording client health. Climbing at high altitudes can be dangerous and is typically physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to know that each client is safe to travel.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the client show the many pictures that the clients collect, we have developed tools to upload and manage climbers’ images in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for Online Retail in Bicester
Amongst the most successful online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the North, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to develop enterprise-level e-commerce.
Built on the industry-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 railway marketplace permits pre-orders with very long delivery times. We have created a custom, 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 development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d really like to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
When West Sussex beauty practice, Casafia were looking to build their website, they consulted the help of Little Fire {Digital Limited}. This was an ideal project for us; Little Fire worked with our client to design the logo and branding which combines subtle colours with clean, modern layout.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system created for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau is built to seamlessly work with Mailchimp to handle customer emails 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 website add users straight to a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer is able to manage their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred chat platform.
Unique Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. 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 nearly finished but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, Little Fire stepped up and worked like fools to created them a unique platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It was the most successful fundraiser in the history of the football league, and Little Fire Digital 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.”
