Little Fire Digital for Bespoke Web Development in Devon
Our team members at Little Fire Digital have been authoring custom websites across the country since the internet was young. We’ve solved a lot of knotty problems and come up with many outstanding solutions.
In our history, Little Fire have: written stock control systems for a Sheffield supermarket chain, integrated the Brightpearl Retail Operating System with bespoke websites, created custom products to sell maps from animated browsable maps, bonds to help finish AFC Wimbledon’s Plough Lane Stadium; and a simplified checkout procedure to sell mountaineering expeditions online.
Bespoke Web Development in Devon – A Solution for Every Project
Your business is yours and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few micro case studies to demonstrate some of the solutions Little Fire Digital Ltd have delivered.
Custom Web Development for Businesses Worldwide
Reaching for the Peaks
Since the late 1980s, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading firm running mountaineering expeditions for climbers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers around the world.
We didn’t construct the Jagged Globe website but we have completed a great deal, whilst keeping its original scheme and its beautiful photography.
It’s not been without difficulty, over the years we have had to:
- Redesign so that the Jagged Globe website meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment system to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking procedure. Returning customers can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a procedure for recording climber fitness. Climbing mountains is not without danger and is typically physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to know that each climber is fit to climb.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue mail management system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe show the many photos that the customers collect, we have developed tools to upload and manage clients’ images in bulk.
Unique Web Development for Online Retail in Ottery Saint Mary
Amongst the most successful online vendors of model railways and toys in the Country, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to provide an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Little Fire Digital Limited developed a new site on the industry-leading Shopify system which has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway marketplace has pre-orders with very long delivery timeframes. 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. We coordinated development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital helped build the website for West Sussex beauty business, Casafia, when they needed something personal. A perfect task for us; we worked with our client to develop the logo and branding featuring soft colours with clean, modern design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed specifically for the medical aesthetics sector.
Pabau is built to directly work with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the main site. Mailing list subscription forms on the website add users directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the client can update their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the IRC client plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred text platform.
Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had decades ejected from their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had amazingly 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 mad time pressure, Little Fire stepped forward, worked like fools and delivered a one-off platform from which the club could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the most successful fundraiser 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.”
