Bespoke Web Development in Hampshire – 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 demonstrate some of the problems we’ve managed to resolve.
Custom Website Development for Worldwide Business
Reaching for the Summit
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading company organising high-altitude adventures for climbers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers around the world.
We didn’t construct the website but we have done a great deal, whilst keeping its original design with its impressive imagery.
It’s not been without difficulty, over the years we have had to:
- Redesign so that the website meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the booking user-experience. Existing clients can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a procedure for recording customer fitness. Climbing at high altitudes can be risky and is typically physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each client is safe to travel.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe website with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the client make best use of the many photos that the clients collect, we have developed an application to upload and manage clients’ photos in bulk.
Web Development for e-commerce in Lyndhurst
As one of largest online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the north of England, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire Digital to create an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Built on the rock-solid Shopify platform, the new Rails of Sheffield website has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railway marketplace has pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery times. To accommodate 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. Little Fire Digital Ltd coordinated development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital built the website for West Sussex medical aesthetics clinic, Casafia, when they needed something unique. A perfect project for Little Fire; we worked with the client to create the logo and branding which combines subtle colourways and crisp, modern layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau is built to seamlessly work with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the main site. Mailing list sign up forms on the site add customers directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the client can change 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.
Bespoke Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had decades ejected from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to acquire a site and start building the their new stadium on the same street, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new stadium was about to be finished but they had run out of money.
Under lunatic time pressure, Little Fire Digital Limited stepped in and worked like fools to created them a bespoke platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It has been the greatest fundraising project in the history of the football league, and Little Fire 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.”
