Little Fire Digital for Bespoke Web Development in Bridgend
At Little Fire Digital, we have been working countrywide since the internet was young. We’ve resolved a lot of thorny issues and created some terrific solutions.
In our history, Little Fire have: written stock management systems for a Sheffield supermarket chain, integrated the Brightpearl order fulfilment system with bespoke websites, created custom products to sell maps from interactive browsable maps, bonds to help construct AFC Wimbledon’s Plough Lane Stadium; and a custom checkout application to sell mountaineering expeditions online.
Custom Web Development in Bridgend – A Solution for Every Problem
Your business and its opportunities are yours, until you share them with us we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are some micro case studies to show some of the problems we’ve managed to resolve.
Custom Website Development for Global Business
Aiming for the Top
From 1987 until today, Jagged Globe has been the foremost firm organising mountaineering expeditions for climbers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise expeditions for climbers around the world.
We didn’t construct the website but we’ve completed a great deal, while retaining its original design with its beautiful photography.
It hasn’t been straightforward, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Make the Jagged Globe website meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking procedure. Returning customers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a application for recording climber health. Climbing mountains can be dangerous and is normally physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every client is fit to climb.
- Integrated the company’s website with the SendInBlue email marketing system so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the company show the many photos that the climbers collect, we have implemented tools to upload and manage customers’ pictures in bulk.
Web Development for e-commerce in Nottage
Amongst the busiest online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the North, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire Digital to create enterprise-level e-commerce.
We developed a new site on the rock-solid Shopify platform which has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway market involves pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery timeframes. 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. Little Fire Digital Limited 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
When Worthing beauty practice, Casafia were looking to launch, they asked for the help of Little Fire {Digital}. An ideal project for us; Little Fire collaborated with our client to develop the logo and branding featuring subtle colours and crisp, stylish design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau is built to smoothly work with Mailchimp to handle customer communications so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the corporate site. Mailing list sign up forms on the website add customers straight to a Mailchimp list and the user is able to change their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the IRC client works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular chat platform.
Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had decades away from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had amazingly managed to buy a site and start building the their new home ground on the same road, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new stadium was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, Little Fire Digital Ltd stepped forward and worked like slaves and developed a standalone platform from which the Dons could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It was the most successful fundraising project in the history of the 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.”
