Web Development in Manchester – A Solution for Every Problem
Your business is your own, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few quick examples to show some of the solutions Little Fire have delivered.
Unique Website Development for Global Business
Aiming High
From 1987 until today, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading firm organising high-altitude expeditions for customers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve climbers globally.
We didn’t design the website but we have completed a huge number of projects. All while preserving its original design with its beautiful photography.
It’s not been without difficulty, to stay up to date we have:
- Make the Jagged Globe site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take client deposits online.
- Completely redeveloped the booking procedure. Existing customers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a system for recording customer capacity. Climbing in the wilderness is not without danger and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each customer is fit to explore.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue mail management system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe display the many images that the clients collect, we have built tools to upload and manage climbers’ photos in bulk.
Unique Web Development for Online Retail in Northenden
As one of busiest online vendors of model railways and toys in the north of England, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to provide enterprise-level e-commerce.
We built a new site on the market-leading Shopify system which has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways market has pre-orders with very long delivery times. We have created a on-off, separate pre-order system using javascript integrated directly into the Shopify framework.
- Stock management and order fulfilment is processed using Peoplevox. We coordinated development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital developed the online presence for Worthing beauty business, Casafia, when they needed something unique. This was a perfect project for us; Little Fire collaborated with the client to create the logo and branding which features soft colours with clean, stylish layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system created specifically for the medical aesthetics sector.
Pabau is built to seamlessly work with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the main site. Mailing list sign up forms on the website add users straight to a Mailchimp list and the customer is able to change their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the IRC client plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular chat platform.
Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had decades robbed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to purchase a site and start building the their new stadium on the same road, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new stadium was about to be completed but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, we stepped forward and worked like fools and created them a one-off platform from which AFC Wimbledon could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It has been the greatest fundraising effort in the history of the 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.”
