Web Development in Kent – Every Problem is Unique, Every Solution Different
Your business and its opportunities 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 fix.
Unique Web Development for Global Businesses
Reaching for the Peaks
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been the leading firm running mountaineering adventures for clients. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe organise expeditions for clients around the world.
Although we didn’t design the Jagged Globe website but we have done a huge number of projects, whilst retaining the original scheme with its impressive photography.
It’s not been without difficulty, over the years we have:
- Redevelop so that the Jagged Globe site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking procedure. Existing climbers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a application for recording customer fitness. Climbing mountains can be risky and is normally physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each and every customer is fit to travel.
- Integrated the website with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the client display the many photos that the customers collect, we have developed systems to upload and manage climbers’ photos in bulk.
Unique Web Development for Online Retail in Hawkinge
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the busiest vendors of model railways and craft goods in the North – with a volume of orders to match. When they came to us, we needed to deliver enterprise-level e-commerce.
Little Fire delivered a new website on the industry-leading Shopify system which has proven to be the solution that Rails of Sheffield need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railway marketplace permits pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery times. 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 Digital Limited coordinated development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d really love to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital helped build the website for Worthing medical aesthetics business, Casafia, when they needed something unique. This was an ideal project for Little Fire; we worked with our client to design the logo and branding which combines subtle colourways with clean, stylish design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau CRM – a system developed for the beauty clinic market.
Pabau is seamlessly integrated with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the main site. Mailing list subscription forms on the site add users directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer can manage their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred text platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had years dispossessed of their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last 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 nearly finished but they had run out of money.
Under insane time pressure, we stepped forward, worked like slaves and developed a unique platform from which AFC Wimbledon could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It has been the most successful 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.”
