Custom Web Development in Newcastle under Lyme – Every Challenge is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business is your own, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few brief examples to show some of the solutions we’ve delivered.
Website Development for Business Worldwide
Reaching for the Peaks
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been the foremost company organising high-altitude expeditions for climbers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve climbers worldwide.
Although we didn’t design the Jagged Globe website but we’ve updated a great deal. All whilst preserving the original design and its impressive photography.
It’s not been straightforward, over the years we have:
- Make the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking interface. Existing clients can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a application for recording client health. Climbing at high altitudes is not without danger and is typically physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each client is fit to travel.
- Integrated the company’s site with the SendInBlue mail management system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the client show the many photos that the customers collect, we have implemented tools to upload and manage clients’ images in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for e-commerce in Newcastle under Lyme
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the most successful online vendors of model railways and toys in the North of England – with a volume of orders to match. When they came to us, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Developed on the rock-solid Shopify system, the new Rails of Sheffield site has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways marketplace involves pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery timeframes. 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 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.
Website Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital constructed the website for Worthing beauty business, Casafia, when they needed something unique. An ideal task for Little Fire; we worked with the client to design the logo and branding which features subtle colours and sharp, modern design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system created specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau smoothly works with Mailchimp to handle client 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 main site add customers straight to a Mailchimp list and the customer is able to manage their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget is built to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred text platform.
Bespoke Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years ejected from their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow 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 Digital Ltd stepped forward, worked like slaves and developed a bespoke 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 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.”
