Web Development in Slough – A Solution for Every Problem
Your business is yours, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some micro case studies to demonstrate some of the wins we’ve achieved.
Bespoke Web Development for Worldwide Businesses
Aiming High
From 1987 until today, Jagged Globe has been one of the foremost operators organising high-altitude expeditions for climbers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve clients globally.
Although we didn’t construct the Jagged Globe website but we’ve completed a great deal, while preserving the original scheme and its stunning imagery.
It hasn’t been straightforward, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Redesign so that the Jagged Globe website meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking procedure. Existing clients can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a procedure for recording climber fitness. Climbing in the wilderness is not without danger and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every customer is safe to climb.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe website with the SendInBlue mail management system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the company make best use of the many pictures that the customers collect, we have implemented systems to upload and manage climbers’ photos in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for e-commerce in Colnbrook
Rails of Sheffield, are one of largest online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the country – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to Little Fire, we needed to deliver enterprise-level e-commerce.
Built on the rock-solid Shopify system, the new Rails of Sheffield website has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway marketplace involves pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery timeframes. To manage this, we have created a bespoke, 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 shops.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
When West Sussex medical aesthetics clinic, Casafia were looking to build their website, they asked for the help of Little Fire {Digital Limited}. An ideal task for Little Fire; we collaborated with our client to create the logo and branding featuring subtle colours with clean, modern layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau CRM – a system designed 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 exact design of the corporate site. Mailing list sign up forms on the main site add customers straight to a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer can manage their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular chat platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had years away from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to purchase a site and start building the their new home ground on the same road, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new ground was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, we stepped in, worked like fools to developed a standalone platform from which the Dons could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the greatest fundraising project in the history of the 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.”
