Your business is yours and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some brief examples to demonstrate some of the problems we’ve managed to fix.
Custom Website Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming for the Summit
From the late 1980s until today, Jagged Globe has been the foremost firm organising high-altitude adventures for climbers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve clients worldwide.
Although we didn’t build the Jagged Globe website but we’ve updated a huge number of projects. All whilst retaining the original design and its stunning imagery.
It hasn’t been simple, to stay up to date we have:
- Redevelop so that the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking user-experience. Existing customers can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a application for recording customer capacity. Climbing in the wilderness is not without risk and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every climber is fit to travel.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the company show the many images that the climbers collect, we have built an application to upload and manage climbers’ photos in bulk.
Custom Web Development for Online Retail in New Tredegar
Rails of Sheffield, are one of largest online vendors of model railways and toys in the country – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to Little Fire, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Built on the market-leading Shopify platform, the new Rails of Sheffield website has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways market permits pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery timeframes. We have created a on-off, bespoke pre-order system 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.

When West Sussex beauty practice, Casafia were looking to go online, they asked for the help of Little Fire {Digital}. A dream project for Little Fire; we collaborated with the client to develop the logo and branding combining subtle colourways with crisp, modern layout.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed specifically for the beauty clinic sector.
Pabau is built to seamlessly work with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate site. Mailing list subscription forms on the website add clients straight to a Mailchimp list and the customer can update their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget is integrated to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular text platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had decades dispossessed of their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to acquire a site and start building the their new home ground 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 insane time pressure, Little Fire stepped forward and worked like fools to delivered a unique platform from which AFC Wimbledon could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It has been the greatest fundraiser in the history of the English 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.”
