Custom Web Development in Essex – Every Problem is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business and its issues are yours, until you share them with us we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are some brief case studies to demonstrate some of the solutions Little Fire have delivered.
Unique Web Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading 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 clients worldwide.
We didn’t design the website but we have updated a great deal, while preserving its original scheme and its stunning imagery.
It’s not been simple, over the years we have:
- Redevelop so that the Jagged Globe website meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking system. Existing customers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a procedure for recording client capacity. Climbing in the wilderness is not without risk and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each and every climber is fit to climb.
- Integrated the site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform 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 systems to upload and manage clients’ images in bulk.
Web Development for Online Retail in Hockley
As one of busiest online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the North, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to provide enterprise-level e-commerce.
We delivered a new site on the rock-solid Shopify platform which has proven to be the solution that Rails of Sheffield need.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway marketplace permits pre-orders with very long delivery timeframes. To allow this, we have created a custom, 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 really like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital developed the website for West Sussex beauty clinic, Casafia, when they needed something unique. An ideal project for us; Little Fire collaborated with our client to design the logo and branding which combines subtle colours with sharp, modern design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed specifically for the beauty market.
Pabau is directly integrated with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created design of the main site. Mailing list sign up forms on the site add users straight to a Mailchimp list and the customer can update their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget is built to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred chat platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had years dispossessed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had amazingly managed to acquire a site and start building the their new home ground on the same road, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new stadium was nearly completed but they had run out of money.
Under insane time pressure, we stepped forward, worked like fools and developed a standalone platform from which the Dons could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the most successful 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.”
