Custom Web Development in Staffordshire – Every Problem is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business is yours and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some micro case studies to show some of the solutions we’ve delivered.
Website Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming High
Since the late 1980s, Jagged Globe has been one of the foremost firm running high-altitude expeditions for clients. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe organise adventures for climbers around the world.
We didn’t construct the website but we have done a huge number of projects. All while preserving its original scheme with its beautiful photography.
It’s not been simple, over the years we have had to:
- Redesign so that the Jagged Globe site meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the booking interface. Existing climbers can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a system for recording climber fitness. Climbing in the wilderness can be dangerous and is normally physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every customer is fit to climb.
- Integrated the company’s site with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the company show the many photos that the climbers collect, we have developed systems to upload and manage climbers’ pictures in bulk.
Web Development for Online Retail in Great Wyrley
Amongst the most successful online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the Country, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire Digital Limited to provide enterprise-level e-commerce.
Built on the industry-leading Shopify platform, the new Rails of Sheffield website has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railway marketplace permits pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery times. To allow this, we have created a bespoke, 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 Digital Ltd coordinated teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital helped build the website for West Sussex beauty clinic, Casafia, when they needed something personal. An ideal task for us; we worked with our client to create the logo and branding featuring soft colours and crisp, stylish layout.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system designed specifically for the beauty clinic market.
Pabau seamlessly works with Mailchimp to handle customer communications so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate website. Mailing list subscription forms on the main website add customers directly a Mailchimp list and the client is able to change their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the IRC widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred chat platform.
Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had decades dispossessed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to acquire a site and start building the their new home ground on the same road, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new ground was about to be completed but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, we stepped forward and worked like slaves and created them a unique platform from which the Dons could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be 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.”
