Your business is yours, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some micro case studies to show some of the wins Little Fire Digital Limited have achieved.
Web Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming for the Summit
From the late 1980s until today, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading company running high-altitude expeditions for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers worldwide.
We didn’t design the Jagged Globe website but we have completed a great deal, while retaining the original scheme and its stunning photography.
It’s not been without difficulty, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Ensure the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking interface. Existing clients can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a procedure for recording client fitness. Climbing in the wilderness is not without danger and is typically physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every client is safe to climb.
- Integrated the company’s site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the client show the many photos that the clients collect, we have developed an application to upload and manage clients’ pictures in bulk.
Custom Web Development for e-commerce in Haxby
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the most successful online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the North of England – with a volume of orders to match. When they came to us, we needed to deliver enterprise-level e-commerce.
Built on the rock-solid Shopify system, the new Rails of Sheffield site has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railway marketplace involves pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery timeframes. We have created a on-off, distinct 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 teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d really like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
When Worthing beauty business, Casafia were looking to build their website, they asked for the help of Little Fire {Digital}. A dream project for us; Little Fire worked with the client to develop the logo and branding combining soft colours and clean, modern design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau CRM – a system created for the beauty clinic market.
Pabau is built to directly work with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the main website. Mailing list subscription forms on the main website add customers directly a Mailchimp list and the client is able to manage their contact 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 decades away from their traditional 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 ground was almost completed but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, we stepped forward, worked like slaves to delivered a one-off platform from which AFC Wimbledon could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It has been the greatest fundraiser in the history of the English 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.”
