Custom Web Development Bedford – A Solution for Every Project
Your business is your own, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some micro case studies to show some of the solutions we’ve delivered.
Unique Web Development for Business Worldwide
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the foremost firm running mountaineering trips for climbers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve clients worldwide.
Although we didn’t design the Jagged Globe website but we have updated a great deal, whilst retaining its original design and its beautiful imagery.
It’s not been without difficulty, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Redevelop so that the Jagged Globe site meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking user-experience. Returning climbers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a procedure for recording climber health. Climbing in the wilderness can be risky and is normally physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each client is fit to travel.
- Integrated the website with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the company make best use of the many images that the clients collect, we have developed tools to upload and manage clients’ photos in bulk.
Custom Web Development for
Online Retail in Biddenham
Amongst the most successful online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the north of England, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to develop an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Built 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 permits pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery times. We have created a bespoke, distinct pre-order basket and checkout using javascript integrated directly into the Shopify framework.
- Stock management and order fulfilment is processed using Peoplevox. Little Fire Digital Limited coordinated teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital developed the website for West Sussex beauty practice, Casafia, when they needed something personal. This was a perfect job for us; Little Fire collaborated with our client to develop the logo and branding combining soft colours and sharp, stylish layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system created specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau is built to seamlessly work with Mailchimp to handle customer communications so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the corporate site. Mailing list subscription forms on the main website add customers directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the client is able to manage their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the IRC client works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred text 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 at last managed to purchase a site and start building the their new stadium on the same road, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new ground was nearly completed but they had run out of money.
Under lunatic time pressure, we stepped up, worked like slaves and developed a bespoke platform from which the club could sell bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the most successful fundraising project 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.”
