Little Fire for Custom Website Development in West Sussex
At Little Fire Digital, we have been designing custom websites nationwide since the internet was young. We’ve fixed a lot of complex problems and come up with some great solutions.
In the past, Little Fire have: authored stock control systems for a Sheffield supermarket franchise, integrated the Brightpearl order fulfilment system with bespoke websites, created unique product types to sell maps from Google maps, loans to help finish AFC Wimbledon’s Plough Lane Stadium; and a simplified checkout page to sell adventure trips online.
Bespoke Web Development in West Sussex – 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 quick examples to show some of the wins Little Fire have achieved.
Custom Web Development for Business Worldwide
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading company organising high-altitude expeditions for climbers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve climbers globally.
We didn’t design the Jagged Globe website but we have done a great deal. All whilst retaining the original design with its beautiful imagery.
It hasn’t been simple, to stay up to date we have:
- Redesign so that the website meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take deposits online.
- Completely redeveloped the online booking procedure. Returning clients can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a procedure for recording customer health. Climbing mountains is not without risk and is typically physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to know that each client is safe to climb.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the company display the many photos that the climbers collect, we have developed tools to upload and manage climbers’ pictures in bulk.
Unique Web Development for Online Retail in Littlehampton
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the most successful online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the country – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to us, we needed to deliver enterprise-level e-commerce.
We built a new site on the industry-leading Shopify platform that has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway market has pre-orders with very long delivery timeframes. To accommodate 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. We coordinated teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d really like to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
When West Sussex medical aesthetics practice, Casafia were looking to build their website, they came to the help of Little Fire {Digital}. This was a dream project for us; Little Fire collaborated with the client to design the logo and branding combining subtle colourways with crisp, modern layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system designed specifically for the beauty clinic market.
Pabau is built to seamlessly work with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created design of the corporate website. Mailing list sign up forms on the main site add clients straight to a Mailchimp mailing list and the client can update their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the IRC widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual chat platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years ejected from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to buy a site and start building the their new home ground on the same street, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new stadium was nearly finished but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, we stepped in, worked like fools to delivered a one-off platform from which the club could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It has been the greatest fundraising project in the history of the English football league, and Little Fire Digital Ltd 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.”
