Custom Web Development in Blean – Every Problem is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business and its challenges are yours, until you tell us about them we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are some quick examples to demonstrate some of the problems Little Fire have managed to fix.
Bespoke Website Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming High
From 1987 until today, Jagged Globe has been the leading operators organising high-altitude trips for clients. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise expeditions for climbers worldwide.
We didn’t construct the website but we’ve done a huge number of projects. All whilst keeping the original design and its impressive imagery.
It hasn’t been without difficulty, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Ensure the Jagged Globe website meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking procedure. Returning climbers can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a system for recording customer health. Climbing in the wilderness can be dangerous and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each and every client is fit to climb.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe show the many images that the clients collect, we have implemented tools to upload and manage customers’ images in bulk.
Web Development for Online Retail in Blean
Rails of Sheffield, are one of busiest retailers of model railways and toys in the country – with a volume of orders to match. When they came to Little Fire Digital, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
We built a new site on the market-leading Shopify system that has provided the much-needed stability to allow Rails of Sheffield to grow.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways marketplace permits pre-orders with very long delivery timeframes. 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. Little Fire coordinated development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
When West Sussex medical aesthetics clinic, Casafia were looking to go online, they came to the help of Little Fire {Digital Ltd}. A perfect project for Little Fire; we collaborated with our client to design the logo and branding which features subtle colourways with clean, modern design.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system created specifically for the beauty clinic market.
Pabau directly works with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created design of the corporate site. Mailing list sign up forms on the main site add customers directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer is able to manage their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the IRC client works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual chat platform.
Unique Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had decades ejected 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 street, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new ground was nearly completed but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, we stepped in and worked like fools to delivered a unique platform from which the club could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It has been the greatest fundraiser in the history of the English 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.”
