Little Fire for Bespoke Website Development in West Sussex
Our team members at Little Fire Digital have been creating custom online solutions nationwide since the internet was young. We’ve solved a lot of thorny issues and created many great solutions.
In the past, Little Fire have: written stock control systems for a Sheffield supermarket franchise, integrated the Brightpearl order fulfilment system with bespoke websites, created unique product types to sell maps from interactive browsable maps, bonds to help build the Plough Lane Stadium for AFC Wimbledon; and a streamlined checkout application to sell mountaineering expeditions online.
Web Development in West Sussex – Every Problem is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business and its issues are yours, until you tell us about them we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are some quick examples to show some of the problems Little Fire have managed to resolve.
Web Development for Global Business
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading firm organising mountaineering expeditions for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve climbers worldwide.
Although we didn’t build the Jagged Globe website but we’ve updated a huge number of projects. All while keeping its original scheme with its impressive imagery.
It hasn’t been without difficulty, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Make the website meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking system. Returning customers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a procedure for recording client health. Climbing in the wilderness is not without danger and is typically physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every customer is fit to explore.
- Integrated the site with the SendInBlue mail management system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the client make best use of the many pictures that the climbers collect, we have built an application to upload and manage clients’ photos in bulk.
Web Development for Online Retail in Goring by Sea
Amongst the busiest online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the Country, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire to create enterprise-level e-commerce.
We developed a new website on the market-leading Shopify system which 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 timeframes. To accommodate this, we have created a bespoke, distinct pre-order basket and checkout 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 stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital helped build the online presence for Worthing beauty clinic, Casafia, when they needed something a little different. A perfect project for us; Little Fire worked with the client to create the logo and branding which features soft colours and clean, modern layout.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system designed specifically for the beauty clinic market.
Pabau is directly integrated with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the main website. Mailing list subscription forms on the site add clients directly a Mailchimp list and the customer is able to update their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget is built to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred text platform.
Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had years ejected from their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had amazingly 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 about to be completed but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, Little Fire Digital stepped in and worked like fools and created them a one-off platform from which AFC Wimbledon could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It has been the most successful 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.”
