Bespoke Web Development in Buckinghamshire – A Solution for Every Problem
Your business is yours and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some quick examples to demonstrate some of the solutions we’ve delivered.
Bespoke Website Development for Worldwide Business
Reaching for the Top
Since the late 1980s, Jagged Globe has been the leading operators running high-altitude adventures for customers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe organise expeditions for climbers around the world.
Although we didn’t design the website but we’ve done a great deal. All whilst keeping its original scheme and its impressive photography.
It’s not been without difficulty, 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 emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking system. Returning customers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a procedure for recording client fitness. Climbing mountains is not without risk and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each and every customer is safe to travel.
- Integrated the company’s website with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe show the many images that the climbers collect, we have developed tools to upload and manage customers’ images in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for Online Retail in Loudwater
As one of most successful online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the North, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire Digital Limited to provide enterprise-level e-commerce.
Little Fire Digital Ltd developed a new site on the industry-leading Shopify system that has provided the much-needed stability to allow Rails of Sheffield to grow.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway market involves pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery times. 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. Little Fire 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.
Website Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital helped build the online presence for Worthing beauty practice, Casafia, when they needed something personal. An ideal project for Little Fire; we collaborated with our client to develop the logo and branding combining soft colourways with crisp, stylish layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau CRM – a system designed for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau smoothly works with Mailchimp to handle customer communications so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the corporate website. Mailing list subscription forms on the site add users straight to a Mailchimp list and the user is able to manage their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget is built to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred text platform.
Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years robbed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to purchase a site and start building the their new stadium on the same road, 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 in, worked like fools to delivered a bespoke platform from which AFC Wimbledon could sell bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the most successful fundraiser 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.”
