Custom Web Development in Powys – A Solution for Every Project
Your business is your own and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some brief examples to demonstrate some of the problems we’ve managed to fix.
Custom Website Development for Business Worldwide
Aiming High
From 1987 until today, Jagged Globe has been the leading company running mountaineering adventures for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise expeditions for customers around the world.
We didn’t construct the website but we have completed a great deal, whilst preserving the original scheme with its impressive photography.
It hasn’t been without difficulty, over the years we have:
- Redevelop so that the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking interface. Returning climbers can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a application for recording customer fitness. Climbing in the wilderness is not without risk and is often physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every client is safe to explore.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue email marketing system so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the company make best use of the many photos that the climbers collect, we have built an application to upload and manage climbers’ pictures in bulk.
Unique Web Development for Online Retail in Builth Wells
As one of largest online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the North, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire to create enterprise-level e-commerce.
Little Fire developed a new site on the market-leading Shopify system that has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railway market involves pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery timeframes. To allow this, we have created a custom, bespoke pre-order system 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 the client’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d really like to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
When West Sussex medical aesthetics business, Casafia were looking to go online, they asked for the help of Little Fire {Digital Ltd}. A perfect project for us; we worked with the client to develop the logo and branding featuring subtle colours with clean, stylish layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau CRM – a system designed specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau is built to smoothly work with Mailchimp to handle customer communications so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created design of the corporate website. Mailing list sign up forms on the main website add customers directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the client is able to update their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual chat platform.
Custom Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had decades away from their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had finally 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 nearly finished but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, we stepped up, worked like slaves to created them a one-off platform from which the Dons could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be 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.”
