Bespoke Web Development in Consett – Every Problem is Unique, Every Solution Different
Your business is yours, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few brief examples to demonstrate some of the solutions we’ve delivered.
Website Development for Global Business
Aiming for the Peaks
From 1987 until today, Jagged Globe has been the leading operators organising high-altitude adventures for climbers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve climbers globally.
Although we didn’t build the Jagged Globe website but we have done a great deal. All while retaining its original design with its stunning photography.
It’s not been simple, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Redesign so that the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment system to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking procedure. Existing climbers 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 often physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each and every client is fit to explore.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the company display the many images that the customers collect, we have built an application to upload and manage customers’ pictures in bulk.
Custom Web Development for Online Retail in Consett
Amongst the busiest online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the Country, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to create an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
We developed a new site on the market-leading Shopify platform that has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway market involves pre-orders with very long delivery times. We have created a custom, bespoke pre-order basket and checkout 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 really love to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital helped build the website for Worthing medical aesthetics business, Casafia, when they needed something unique. A dream job for Little Fire; we worked with our client to design the logo and branding which combines subtle colourways and crisp, stylish design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau CRM – a system created specifically for the medical aesthetics sector.
Pabau is built to seamlessly work with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created design of the main site. Mailing list sign up forms on the main website add customers straight to a Mailchimp list and the customer is able to update their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred text platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had years robbed of their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow 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 up and worked like slaves to delivered a standalone platform from which the club could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It has been the most successful fundraising effort 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.”
