Custom Web Development in Four Marks – A Solution for Every Project
Your business and its challenges are yours, until you tell us about them we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are some quick case studies to demonstrate some of the wins Little Fire have achieved.
Bespoke Website Development for International Businesses
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading operators organising mountaineering expeditions for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers around the world.
We didn’t design the website but we have done a huge number of projects. All whilst preserving its 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 site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment system to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking user-experience. Existing customers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a system for recording client health. Climbing at high altitudes can be dangerous and is often physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to know that each climber is fit to travel.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe website with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the client show the many pictures that the clients collect, we have implemented systems to upload and manage customers’ pictures in bulk.
Custom Web Development for e-commerce in Four Marks
Rails of Sheffield, are one of busiest vendors of model railways and craft goods in the North – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to us, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Developed on the industry-leading Shopify system, the new Rails of Sheffield site has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways market has pre-orders with very long delivery times. We have created a on-off, separate 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 Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
When West Sussex medical aesthetics clinic, Casafia were looking to launch, they consulted the help of Little Fire {Digital}. This was an ideal task for us; we collaborated with the client to design the logo and branding which combines soft colours and sharp, stylish layout.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau is directly integrated with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the main website. Mailing list sign up forms on the site add users directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the client 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 usual text platform.
Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had decades dispossessed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to purchase a site and start building the their new home ground on the same street, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new ground was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under insane time pressure, Little Fire stepped up, worked like fools to delivered a unique platform from which AFC Wimbledon could sell bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the most successful fundraising project 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.”
