Custom Web Development in Blaenau Gwent – Every Challenge is Unique, Every Solution Different
Your business is your own and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some quick case studies to demonstrate some of the solutions we’ve delivered.
Unique Web Development for International Businesses
Reaching for the Summit
Since 1987, Jagged Globe has been the leading operators organising high-altitude expeditions for climbers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve clients around the world.
Although we didn’t build the Jagged Globe website but we’ve updated a huge number of projects, while keeping its original scheme with its stunning photography.
It hasn’t been simple, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Redesign 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.
- Completely redesigned the booking system. Existing clients can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a system for recording climber fitness. Climbing at high altitudes is not without risk and is typically physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to know 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 developed systems to upload and manage clients’ photos in bulk.
Web Development for e-commerce in Blaina
Rails of Sheffield, are one of largest online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the country – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to Little Fire, we needed to deliver enterprise-level e-commerce.
Built on the industry-leading Shopify platform, the new Rails of Sheffield site has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways marketplace permits pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery times. We have created a bespoke, distinct 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 shops.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital constructed the online presence for West Sussex beauty practice, Casafia, when they needed something personal. A dream job for us; we worked with the client to develop the logo and branding featuring soft colourways with clean, modern layout.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system created for the beauty sector.
Pabau seamlessly works with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created design of the corporate site. Mailing list sign up forms on the site add customers straight to a Mailchimp list and the user can update their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual chat platform.
Unique Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years away from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to acquire a site and start building the their new home ground on the same road, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new ground was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under insane time pressure, we stepped forward, worked like fools to created them a unique platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the greatest fundraiser in the history of the football league, and Little Fire 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.”
