Bespoke Web Development in Higham – A Solution for Every Project
Your business is yours and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some brief case studies to demonstrate some of the problems we’ve managed to resolve.
Unique Website Development for International Business
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading operators organising high-altitude trips for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve clients globally.
Although we didn’t build the website but we’ve updated a great deal, while retaining its original design with its beautiful imagery.
It’s not been simple, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Redesign so that the Jagged Globe site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking interface. Returning customers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a procedure for recording client health. Climbing in the wilderness can be dangerous and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each and every client is fit to travel.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe make best use of the many images that the climbers collect, we have developed tools to upload and manage climbers’ pictures in bulk.
Custom Web Development for e-commerce in Higham
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the most successful vendors of model railways and hobbies in the country – with a volume of orders to match. When they came to us, we needed to deliver enterprise-level e-commerce.
We delivered a new site on the rock-solid Shopify system which has proven to be the solution that Rails of Sheffield need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways market permits pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery timeframes. 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. We coordinated teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital constructed the online presence for West Sussex medical aesthetics business, Casafia, when they needed something personal. This was a dream project for Little Fire; we worked with the client to create the logo and branding combining soft colours with clean, modern design.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system developed specifically for the beauty clinic market.
Pabau seamlessly works 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 site add users directly a Mailchimp list and the client can update their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget is integrated to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular text platform.
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 stadium on the same street, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new ground was about to be finished but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, Little Fire stepped up, worked like fools to developed a unique platform from which the club could sell bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the most successful fundraising project 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.”
