Little Fire for Custom Web Development in Derbyshire
At Little Fire, we have been creating bespoke websites countrywide for many years. We’ve solved a lot of thorny problems and created some terrific solutions.
In our history, our team have: written stock control systems for a Sheffield supermarket chain, integrated the Brightpearl Retail Operating System with unique websites, created unique product types to sell maps from Google maps, loans to help construct AFC Wimbledon’s Plough Lane Stadium; and a custom checkout procedure to sell mountaineering trips online.
Bespoke Web Development in Matlock – Every Project is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business is yours and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some brief case studies to show some of the wins we’ve achieved.
Custom Web Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming for the Peaks
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been the leading firm running mountaineering trips for customers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise trips for climbers worldwide.
Although we didn’t construct the Jagged Globe website but we have completed a huge number of projects. All while retaining its original scheme with its stunning photography.
It’s not been without difficulty, over the years we have had to:
- Redesign so that the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Completely redeveloped the online booking user-experience. Returning climbers can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a application for recording client capacity. Climbing at high altitudes can be risky and is typically physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each and every customer is fit to explore.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue mail management system so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe display the many pictures that the climbers collect, we have implemented systems to upload and manage climbers’ photos in bulk.
Custom Web Development for e-commerce in Matlock
As one of most successful online vendors of model railways and toys in the north of England, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to create an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Little Fire developed a new site on the industry-leading Shopify system that has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways marketplace has pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery timeframes. To allow this, we have created a bespoke, 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 shops.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really like to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital constructed the website for West Sussex medical aesthetics practice, Casafia, when they needed something a little different. This was a perfect task for Little Fire; we collaborated with our client to develop the logo and branding combining soft colourways and sharp, modern design.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system designed for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau smoothly works with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate website. Mailing list subscription forms on the site add customers straight to a Mailchimp list and the client is able to manage their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular text platform.
Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years ejected from their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had amazingly managed to buy 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 completed but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, Little Fire Digital Ltd stepped forward, worked like slaves to delivered a standalone platform from which the club could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the most successful 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.”
