Bespoke Web Development in Essex – A Solution for Every Problem
Your business is yours and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few brief case studies to demonstrate some of the wins we’ve achieved.
Web Development for Worldwide Business
Reaching for the Peaks
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading firm running mountaineering trips for clients. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise trips for climbers globally.
Although we didn’t construct the Jagged Globe website but we have completed a great deal, while retaining its original scheme and its impressive photography.
It’s not been straightforward, over the years we have:
- Redesign so that the website meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the booking system. Returning customers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a system for recording customer capacity. Climbing at high altitudes is not without danger and is often physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to know that each customer is fit to explore.
- Integrated the website with the SendInBlue email marketing system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the company make best use of the many photos that the clients collect, we have implemented tools to upload and manage customers’ pictures in bulk.
Unique Web Development for e-commerce in Great Burstead
Rails of Sheffield, are one of largest retailers 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 an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
We developed a new site on the market-leading Shopify platform that has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway marketplace involves pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery times. To accommodate this, we have created a bespoke, 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 stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d love to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital built the online presence for West Sussex beauty practice, Casafia, when they needed something a little different. An ideal job for Little Fire; we worked with our client to create the logo and branding featuring soft colours and crisp, modern design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau CRM – a system developed for the beauty clinic market.
Pabau is built to smoothly work with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created design of the corporate site. Mailing list subscription forms on the website add customers straight to a Mailchimp list and the customer is able to update their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the IRC client works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular text platform.
Custom Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had years dispossessed of their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had finally managed to buy a site and start building the their new home ground on the same street, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new stadium was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under insane time pressure, Little Fire Digital Ltd stepped up, worked like fools to delivered a standalone platform from which the club could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the greatest fundraiser in the history of the English football league, and Little Fire Digital Ltd 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.”
