Little Fire for Custom Website Development in Surrey
At Little Fire, we have been creating custom website solutions countrywide since the internet was young. We’ve fixed a lot of thorny problems and created some terrific solutions.
Amongst our projects, our team have: developed stock management systems for a Sheffield supermarket chain, integrated the Brightpearl order fulfilment system with custom websites, created unique product types to sell maps from animated browsable maps, loans to help construct AFC Wimbledon’s Plough Lane Stadium; and a custom checkout procedure to sell mountaineering expeditions online.
Custom Web Development in Surrey – A Solution for Every Project
Your business is yours, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few brief examples to show some of the problems we’ve managed to resolve.
Custom Web Development for International Businesses
Aiming for the Peaks
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading operators running mountaineering trips for clients. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise adventures for climbers globally.
We didn’t build the website but we have completed a huge number of projects, while retaining its original design with its impressive photography.
It’s not been simple, to stay up to date we have:
- Redesign so that the Jagged Globe site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking procedure. Existing customers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a procedure for recording customer capacity. Climbing at high altitudes can be risky and is typically physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each and every client is fit to travel.
- Integrated the website with the SendInBlue mail management system so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the company display the many pictures that the clients collect, we have built an application to upload and manage clients’ pictures in bulk.
Custom Web Development for Online Retail in Chipstead
As one of most successful online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the Country, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to develop an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Developed on the industry-leading Shopify platform, the new Rails of Sheffield site has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railways market involves pre-orders with very long delivery times. To accommodate this, we have created a custom, distinct 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 Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really love to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
When West Sussex beauty clinic, Casafia were looking to launch, they consulted the help of Little Fire {Digital}. This was an ideal job for us; Little Fire collaborated with our client to design the logo and branding which combines subtle colours and clean, modern layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau CRM – a system developed for the medical aesthetics sector.
Pabau is built to seamlessly work with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created design of the main website. Mailing list subscription forms on the website add users straight to a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer can manage their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred chat platform.
Bespoke Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had decades away 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 road, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new ground was nearly finished but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, we stepped forward and worked like fools and delivered a bespoke platform from which the club could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It was the most successful fundraising effort in the history of the English football league, and Little Fire Digital Limited 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.”
