Web Development in Hampshire – A Solution for Every Project
Your business is your own, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some micro case studies to show some of the solutions Little Fire have delivered.
Custom Web Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been the leading company running mountaineering expeditions for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve clients globally.
We didn’t construct the Jagged Globe website but we have done a great deal. All while retaining the original design and its beautiful imagery.
It’s not been without difficulty, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Make the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking system. Existing climbers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a system for recording client capacity. Climbing in the wilderness is not without risk and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each client is safe to travel.
- Integrated the company’s site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the client display the many pictures that the climbers collect, we have developed systems to upload and manage climbers’ images in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for Online Retail in Petersfield
Amongst the most successful online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the North, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to create enterprise-level e-commerce.
Little Fire delivered a new website on the market-leading Shopify system that has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways marketplace permits pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery timeframes. We have created a custom, bespoke pre-order basket and checkout using javascript integrated directly into the Shopify framework.
- Stock management and order fulfilment is processed using Peoplevox. Little Fire Digital coordinated teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d love to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital constructed the website for Worthing beauty business, Casafia, when they needed something personal. This was an ideal task for Little Fire; we collaborated with the client to design the logo and branding featuring subtle colourways with sharp, modern design.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system created specifically for the medical aesthetics sector.
Pabau directly works with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the main website. Mailing list sign up forms on the website add clients directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the client is able to manage their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the IRC client plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular text platform.
Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years dispossessed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to buy 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 lunatic time pressure, Little Fire Digital Limited stepped in and worked like slaves and delivered a one-off platform from which the club could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the greatest fundraising project in the history of the English 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.”
