Amongst our projects, our team have: written stock control systems for a Sheffield supermarket franchise, integrated the Brightpearl Retail Operating System with custom websites, created unique product types to sell maps from interactive browsable maps, bonds to help finish the Plough Lane Stadium for AFC Wimbledon; and a custom checkout page to sell adventure trips online.
Custom Web Development in Mickleover – Every Challenge is Unique, Every Solution Different
Your business is yours, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few brief case studies to show some of the solutions we’ve delivered.
Unique Web Development for Business Worldwide
Aiming High
Since the late 1980s, Jagged Globe has been the foremost firm running mountaineering trips for clients. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers globally.
Although we didn’t build the website but we’ve completed a huge number of projects, whilst retaining its original design and its beautiful photography.
It’s not been without difficulty, over the years we have:
- Ensure the website meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking user-experience. Returning climbers can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a system for recording client fitness. Climbing mountains is not without danger and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to know that each climber is safe to explore.
- Integrated the company’s website with the SendInBlue email marketing system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the client show the many pictures that the clients collect, we have developed systems to upload and manage clients’ pictures in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for Online Retail in Mickleover
Rails of Sheffield, are one of most successful retailers of model railways and hobbies in the country – with a volume of orders to match. When they came to us, we needed to deliver enterprise-level e-commerce.
Little Fire delivered a new website on the market-leading Shopify system which 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 timeframes. We have created a on-off, 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‘re selling, we’d love to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
When Worthing medical aesthetics business, Casafia were looking to build their website, they consulted the help of Little Fire {Digital Limited}. A perfect job for us; Little Fire worked with the client to design the logo and branding which features soft colourways and crisp, modern layout.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system designed specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau is built to smoothly work with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact branding of the main site. Mailing list subscription forms on the site add clients directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer can change 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.
Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years robbed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had finally 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 completed but they had run out of money.
Under lunatic time pressure, Little Fire Digital Limited stepped in, worked like fools to delivered a one-off platform from which the club could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
“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.”
