Web Development in Aberdeenshire – Every Problem is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business is yours, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some micro examples to show some of the problems Little Fire Digital Ltd have managed to fix.
Unique Website Development for Business Worldwide
Aiming for the Summit
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been the leading operators organising mountaineering adventures for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise trips for customers around the world.
Although we didn’t construct the Jagged Globe website but we have updated a huge number of projects, whilst keeping the original design and its impressive photography.
It’s not been straightforward, over the years we have had to:
- Make the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment system to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking procedure. Returning clients can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a system for recording customer fitness. Climbing in the wilderness can be dangerous and is typically physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every climber is fit to travel.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe display the many photos that the clients collect, we have implemented tools to upload and manage customers’ photos in bulk.
Web Development for e-commerce in Mintlaw
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 develop enterprise-level e-commerce.
We delivered a new site on the rock-solid Shopify platform that has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways market has pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery timeframes. To manage this, we have created a custom, bespoke pre-order system 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 stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital helped build the website for West Sussex medical aesthetics business, Casafia, when they needed something unique. This was an ideal task for Little Fire; we collaborated with our client to create the logo and branding which combines soft colourways and clean, stylish layout.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system designed specifically for the beauty clinic sector.
Pabau is seamlessly integrated with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the main website. Mailing list subscription forms on the site add clients directly a Mailchimp list and the user can update their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual text platform.
Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had years robbed of their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to buy a site and start building the their new stadium on the same street, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new stadium was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, we stepped forward, worked like fools and developed a bespoke platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the most successful fundraising effort in the history of the 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.”
