Bespoke Web Development in Innerleithen – Every Challenge is Unique, Every Solution Different
Your business and its challenges are yours, until you share them with us we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are some quick case studies to show some of the wins we’ve achieved.
Unique Website Development for Global Business
Aiming High
From the late 1980s until today, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading firm running high-altitude trips for clients. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve clients worldwide.
We didn’t build the website but we have updated a great deal, whilst preserving its original design and its stunning photography.
It’s not been straightforward, over the years we have had to:
- Redesign so that the Jagged Globe site meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking system. Returning climbers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a application for recording climber capacity. Climbing mountains can be risky and is normally physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each and every customer is fit to explore.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the client display the many pictures that the climbers collect, we have implemented systems to upload and manage customers’ pictures in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for e-commerce in Innerleithen
Rails of Sheffield, are one of largest retailers of model railways and hobbies in the country – with a volume of orders to match. When they came to us, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Built on the industry-leading Shopify platform, the new Rails of Sheffield site has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railways marketplace involves pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery times. We have created a on-off, distinct pre-order system using javascript integrated directly into the Shopify framework.
- Stock management and order fulfilment is processed using Peoplevox. We coordinated development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital constructed the online presence for West Sussex medical aesthetics business, Casafia, when they needed something a little different. A dream project for Little Fire; we collaborated with our client to develop the logo and branding which features subtle colourways and crisp, modern layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system created specifically for the medical aesthetics sector.
Pabau is built to directly work with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate site. Mailing list subscription forms on the website add clients straight to a Mailchimp mailing list and the client 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 chat platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years away from their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to purchase a site and start building the their new stadium on the same road, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new stadium was nearly completed but they had run out of money.
Under insane time pressure, Little Fire Digital Ltd stepped forward, worked like slaves and developed a standalone platform from which the Dons could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It was 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.”
