Bespoke Web Development in Kirkby – A Solution for Every Problem
Your business is yours, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few brief examples to show some of the wins Little Fire Digital have achieved.
Bespoke Web Development for Business Worldwide
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the foremost operators organising high-altitude adventures for clients. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve climbers globally.
We didn’t construct the website but we’ve done a great deal. All while keeping its original design and its beautiful imagery.
It hasn’t been straightforward, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Make the website meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking interface. Existing climbers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a system for recording customer fitness. Climbing at high altitudes is not without risk and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every climber is safe to explore.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue email marketing system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the client display the many images that the customers collect, we have built tools to upload and manage customers’ images in bulk.
Unique Web Development for Online Retail in Kirkby
Amongst the most successful online vendors of model railways and toys in the North, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire to create enterprise-level e-commerce.
Little Fire delivered a new site on the industry-leading Shopify platform that has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways marketplace involves pre-orders with very long delivery times. To manage this, we have created a custom, bespoke pre-order basket and checkout 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 the client’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
When West Sussex beauty clinic, Casafia were looking to go online, they consulted the help of Little Fire {Digital}. This was a dream task for us; Little Fire worked with the client to create the logo and branding combining soft colours with clean, modern layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system created specifically for the beauty clinic market.
Pabau is built to smoothly work with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the corporate site. Mailing list sign up forms on the site add clients straight to a Mailchimp mailing list and the client is able to update their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the IRC client is integrated to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual chat platform.
Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had decades away from their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to acquire a site and start building the their new home ground on the same road, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new stadium was about to be completed but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, Little Fire stepped up, worked like slaves and delivered a bespoke platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be 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.”
