Web Development in North Hinksey – Every Challenge is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business and its issues are yours, until you share them with us we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are some micro examples to demonstrate some of the problems we’ve managed to fix.
Custom Web Development for International Businesses
Aiming High
From the late 1980s until today, Jagged Globe has been the leading firm running mountaineering trips for clients. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise trips for customers worldwide.
Although we didn’t construct the Jagged Globe website but we have updated a great deal. All whilst retaining its original scheme and its beautiful imagery.
It’s not been without difficulty, over the years we have had to:
- Ensure the Jagged Globe website meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the online booking interface. Existing customers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a procedure for recording client capacity. Climbing at high altitudes can be dangerous and is normally physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to know that each client is fit to explore.
- Integrated the website with the SendInBlue email marketing system so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the company make best use of the many photos that the climbers collect, we have built an application to upload and manage clients’ photos in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for e-commerce in North Hinksey
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the largest retailers of model railways and craft goods in the North of England – with a volume of orders to match. When they came to Little Fire, we needed to deliver enterprise-level e-commerce.
Built on the industry-leading Shopify system, the new Rails of Sheffield site has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways market permits pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery times. We have created a bespoke, distinct 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 development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital helped build the online presence for West Sussex beauty business, Casafia, when they needed something a little different. A perfect job for Little Fire; we collaborated with the client to develop the logo and branding which features soft colourways and sharp, stylish design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau CRM – a system developed specifically for the medical aesthetics sector.
Pabau directly works with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate site. Mailing list subscription forms on the main website add users directly a Mailchimp list and the customer can change their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular chat platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had years away from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to acquire a site and start building the their new stadium on the same road, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new stadium was nearly finished but they had run out of money.
Under insane time pressure, we stepped in and worked like fools and developed a bespoke platform from which the Dons could sell bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It was the greatest fundraiser in the history of the English 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.”
