In the past, Little Fire have: developed stock management systems for regional supermarket chain, integrated the Brightpearl Retail Operating System with bespoke websites, created unique product types to sell maps from animated browsable maps, loans to help construct the Plough Lane Stadium for AFC Wimbledon; and a simplified checkout procedure to sell mountaineering trips online.
Web Development in Cumbria – A Solution for Every Project
Your business and its issues are yours, until you tell us about them we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are some micro examples to demonstrate some of the problems Little Fire have managed to resolve.
Website Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming for the Peaks
Since the late 1980s, Jagged Globe has been the foremost operators organising high-altitude trips for climbers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve climbers worldwide.
We didn’t design the Jagged Globe website but we have done a huge number of projects. All whilst preserving the original scheme and its impressive imagery.
It hasn’t been simple, over the years we have had to:
- Redesign so that the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking procedure. Returning customers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a application for recording climber health. Climbing at high altitudes is not without risk and is normally physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each client is fit to travel.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe website with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe make best use of the many pictures that the clients collect, we have developed systems to upload and manage clients’ pictures in bulk.
Custom Web Development for e-commerce in Penrith
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the largest retailers of model railways and hobbies in the country – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to Little Fire, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Little Fire Digital developed a new website on the rock-solid Shopify platform that has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways market permits pre-orders with very long delivery timeframes. To manage this, 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. Little Fire coordinated teams of developers 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 Nationwide
Little Fire Digital helped build the website for West Sussex medical aesthetics clinic, Casafia, when they needed something personal. A dream job for Little Fire; we collaborated with the client to create the logo and branding which combines soft colourways and clean, modern layout.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system developed specifically for the beauty clinic sector.
Pabau is built to directly work with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate site. Mailing list sign up forms on the site add clients directly a Mailchimp list and the client can manage their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the IRC client is integrated to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual chat platform.
Custom Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years robbed of their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to acquire a site and start building the their new home ground on the same street, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new stadium was about to be completed but they had run out of money.
Under lunatic time pressure, Little Fire Digital Ltd stepped forward and worked like slaves to created them a one-off platform from which the Dons could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It has been the greatest fundraising project 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.”
