Bespoke Web Development in Olton – A Solution for Every Problem
Your business is yours, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some quick case studies to demonstrate some of the solutions Little Fire have delivered.
Custom Website Development for Business Worldwide
Reaching for the Summit
Since the late 1980s, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading operators organising high-altitude expeditions for climbers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe organise trips for customers worldwide.
We didn’t construct the website but we’ve updated a huge number of projects, whilst preserving the original design with its beautiful photography.
It hasn’t been without difficulty, over the years we have had to:
- Ensure the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking user-experience. Existing climbers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a application for recording climber health. Climbing at high altitudes can be dangerous and is normally physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each client is safe to travel.
- Integrated the company’s site 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 implemented an application to upload and manage customers’ images in bulk.
Web Development for e-commerce in Olton
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the busiest online vendors 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 provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway market has pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery timeframes. We have created a bespoke, separate pre-order basket and checkout 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 Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d like to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital constructed the website for West Sussex beauty business, Casafia, when they needed something a little different. An ideal task for us; we collaborated with our client to develop the logo and branding featuring subtle colours with clean, modern design.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed specifically for the beauty market.
Pabau smoothly works with Mailchimp to handle customer communications so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the main website. Mailing list subscription forms on the website add users directly a Mailchimp list and the customer is able to change their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the IRC client is integrated to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred text platform.
Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had years ejected from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to purchase a site and start building the their new home ground on the same street, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new stadium was nearly completed but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, Little Fire Digital Ltd stepped up, worked like fools and created them a unique platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the greatest fundraising effort 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.”
