Bespoke Web Development in East Ayrshire – A Solution for Every Project
Your business and its challenges are yours, until you share them with us we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are some quick case studies to demonstrate some of the solutions Little Fire Digital Limited have delivered.
Web Development for Worldwide Businesses
Aiming for the Peaks
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading operators running mountaineering adventures for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve climbers around the world.
Although we didn’t construct the website but we’ve updated a huge number of projects. All whilst preserving its original scheme and its impressive photography.
It hasn’t been straightforward, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Redevelop so that the Jagged Globe site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the booking user-experience. Returning clients can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a procedure for recording customer capacity. Climbing at high altitudes is not without risk and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to know that each climber is safe to travel.
- Integrated the company’s website with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the client show the many photos that the customers collect, we have built tools to upload and manage customers’ pictures in bulk.
Custom Web Development for e-commerce in Mauchline
Rails of Sheffield, are one of largest online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the country – with a volume of orders to match. When they came to Little Fire Digital Ltd, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Little Fire Digital Limited developed a new website on the rock-solid Shopify system that has provided the much-needed stability to allow Rails of Sheffield to grow.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways marketplace permits pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery times. To allow this, we have created a on-off, distinct pre-order system 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 have to sell, we’d like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital developed the website for West Sussex beauty business, Casafia, when they needed something a little different. This was a dream job for us; we collaborated with our client to design the logo and branding featuring soft colours with crisp, modern design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system created specifically for the beauty clinic sector.
Pabau is smoothly integrated with Mailchimp to handle customer communications so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact branding of the main website. Mailing list subscription forms on the main site add users directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer is able to change their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget 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 years away from their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had amazingly managed to acquire a site and start building the their new stadium on the same road, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new stadium was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, Little Fire stepped forward, worked like fools to created them a bespoke platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the most successful fundraiser in the history of the football league, and Little Fire Digital Limited 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.”
