Web Development in Brecon – A Solution for Every Problem
Your business and its challenges are yours, until you share them with us we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are some micro examples to demonstrate some of the problems we’ve managed to resolve.
Custom Website Development for Worldwide Businesses
Reaching for the Peaks
From 1987 until today, Jagged Globe has been one of the foremost firm organising high-altitude expeditions for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve climbers globally.
We didn’t construct the website but we’ve updated a huge number of projects, whilst preserving the original scheme and its impressive imagery.
It hasn’t been without difficulty, to stay up to date we have:
- Ensure the Jagged Globe site meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment system to take deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the booking user-experience. Existing customers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a procedure for recording client fitness. Climbing in the wilderness can be risky and is normally physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each and every client is safe to climb.
- Integrated the website with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the client display the many images that the clients collect, we have built systems to upload and manage customers’ images in bulk.
Unique Web Development for e-commerce in Brecon
Rails of Sheffield, are one of largest retailers of model railways and toys in the country – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to Little Fire Digital, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Developed on the rock-solid 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 railways marketplace has 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. We coordinated teams of developers 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.
Website Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital helped build the online presence for West Sussex medical aesthetics clinic, Casafia, when they needed something unique. A perfect project for us; we collaborated with our client to create the logo and branding featuring subtle colours with crisp, stylish design.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system created specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau is smoothly integrated 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 website add customers straight to a Mailchimp list and the user is able to change their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular text platform.
Custom Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years dispossessed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had amazingly managed to buy a site and start building the their new stadium on the same road, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new stadium was nearly finished but they had run out of money.
Under lunatic time pressure, we stepped forward, worked like fools to delivered a one-off platform from which the Dons could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the greatest 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.”
