Custom Web Development in Kent – Every Problem is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business is your own, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few micro examples to show some of the problems we’ve managed to resolve.
Custom Website Development for Global Business
Reaching for the Peaks
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been the foremost operators organising high-altitude adventures for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers around the world.
We didn’t design the Jagged Globe website but we have updated a huge number of projects. All whilst retaining its original scheme with its impressive imagery.
It hasn’t been without difficulty, to stay up to date we have:
- Ensure the Jagged Globe website meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment system to take client deposits online.
- Completely redeveloped the online booking interface. Existing customers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a application for recording client fitness. Climbing in the wilderness can be dangerous and is often physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every climber is fit to explore.
- Integrated the company’s site with the SendInBlue email marketing system so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe show the many pictures that the climbers collect, we have developed systems to upload and manage climbers’ images in bulk.
Unique Web Development for Online Retail in Gravesend
Rails of Sheffield, are one of largest vendors of model railways and hobbies in the North of England – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to Little Fire, we needed to deliver enterprise-level e-commerce.
Developed on the market-leading Shopify platform, 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 market involves pre-orders with very long delivery timeframes. 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 the client’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really love to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
When West Sussex medical aesthetics practice, Casafia were looking to go online, they came to the help of Little Fire {Digital Ltd}. This was a dream job for Little Fire; we collaborated with the client to create the logo and branding featuring subtle colours with clean, modern design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau smoothly works with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate site. Mailing list sign up forms on the site add users directly a Mailchimp list and the user is able to manage their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the IRC widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual chat platform.
Unique Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had decades robbed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to purchase a site and start building the their new home ground on the same street, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new ground was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, we stepped forward, worked like fools and developed a standalone platform from which the club could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It was the greatest fundraiser 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.”
