Custom Web Development in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea – A Solution for Every Problem
Your business is yours and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some quick examples to demonstrate some of the problems we’ve managed to fix.
Bespoke Web Development for Global Business
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been the foremost firm organising mountaineering expeditions for clients. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers around the world.
We didn’t design the website but we’ve done a great deal. All whilst retaining the original scheme with its impressive photography.
It’s not been simple, over the years we have had to:
- Redevelop so that the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment system to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking system. Existing clients can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a procedure for recording client fitness. Climbing mountains is not without danger and is normally physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to know that each climber is safe to climb.
- Integrated the company’s website with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe show the many photos that the customers collect, we have implemented tools to upload and manage customers’ pictures in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for e-commerce in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the largest online vendors 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.
We built a new site on the market-leading Shopify system which has proven to be the solution that Rails of Sheffield need.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railways marketplace has pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery times. To accommodate this, we have created a custom, bespoke pre-order basket and checkout using javascript integrated directly into the Shopify framework.
- Stock management and order fulfilment is processed using Peoplevox. Little Fire Digital Ltd coordinated teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d love to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital constructed the online presence for Worthing medical aesthetics business, Casafia, when they needed something personal. An ideal project for us; Little Fire worked with the client to create the logo and branding which combines subtle colours with sharp, stylish layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau is built to smoothly work with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the corporate site. Mailing list sign up forms on the main site add users directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the client is able to update their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred chat platform.
Unique Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had decades away from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to buy a site and start building the their new home ground on the same street, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new stadium was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under insane time pressure, Little Fire Digital Ltd stepped up, worked like fools and created them a bespoke platform from which the club could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It has been the greatest fundraiser in the history of the English football league, and we 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.”
