Custom Web Development in Bletchley – A Solution for Every Project
Your business is yours and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some quick examples to demonstrate some of the wins we’ve achieved.
Website Development for Business Worldwide
Reaching for the Peaks
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading firm running high-altitude expeditions for climbers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe organise adventures for clients worldwide.
We didn’t construct the Jagged Globe website but we have done a great deal. All while preserving its original design with its impressive photography.
It hasn’t been without difficulty, over the years we have:
- Redesign so that the Jagged Globe site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take client deposits online.
- Completely redeveloped the online booking user-experience. Existing customers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a application for recording client capacity. Climbing mountains can be dangerous and is typically physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each customer is fit to climb.
- 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 pictures that the clients collect, we have implemented systems to upload and manage customers’ photos in bulk.
Unique Web Development for e-commerce in Bletchley
Rails of Sheffield, are one of largest retailers of model railways and toys in the North of England – with a volume of orders to match. When they came to us, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Built on the industry-leading Shopify system, 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 railways market has pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery timeframes. To allow this, we have created a bespoke, 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 stores.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital helped build the website for West Sussex medical aesthetics practice, Casafia, when they needed something unique. A dream job for us; we collaborated with our client to develop the logo and branding which combines soft colourways with clean, stylish layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system designed specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau directly works with Mailchimp to handle customer communications so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created design of the corporate website. Mailing list sign up forms on the site add users directly a Mailchimp list and the customer is able to manage their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual text platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had years 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 South London.
The new stadium was almost completed but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, we stepped up and worked like fools to created them a bespoke platform from which the club could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It was the most successful fundraiser 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.”
