Bespoke Web Development in East Sussex – Every Problem is Different, Every Solution is Unique

Custom Website Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming for the Summit
From 1987 until today, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading firm organising mountaineering adventures for clients. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve clients around the world.
We didn’t design the Jagged Globe website but we have updated a great deal. All while retaining its original scheme with its impressive photography.
It’s not been straightforward, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Redesign so that the website meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking interface. Existing customers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a application for recording customer capacity. Climbing in the wilderness can be risky and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to know that each climber is safe to travel.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue mail management system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the company show the many photos that the customers collect, we have developed tools to upload and manage climbers’ images in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for Online Retail in Chailey
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 us to create enterprise-level e-commerce.
Built 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 fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways market permits pre-orders with very long delivery timeframes. To accommodate this, we have created a on-off, bespoke pre-order system 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 the client’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d love to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
When Worthing medical aesthetics clinic, Casafia were looking to go online, they came to the help of Little Fire {Digital Ltd}. An ideal job for us; we collaborated with our client to design the logo and branding which features subtle colourways with clean, modern design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau CRM – a system created specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau is directly integrated with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created design of the main website. Mailing list subscription forms on the main site add clients straight to a Mailchimp list and the customer is able to update their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the IRC client works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular text platform.
Unique Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had decades ejected from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had amazingly managed to purchase a site and start building the their new stadium on the same road, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new ground was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under lunatic time pressure, Little Fire stepped up and worked like slaves and created them a standalone platform from which the club could sell bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the greatest fundraising effort 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.”
