Bespoke Web Development in Porthmadog – Every Project is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business is yours and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few quick examples to show some of the wins we’ve achieved.
Website Development for Global Businesses
Reaching for the Peaks
From the late 1980s until today, Jagged Globe has been one of the foremost company running high-altitude trips for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve clients globally.
We didn’t design the website but we’ve updated a great deal, while retaining the original design and its impressive imagery.
It hasn’t been simple, to stay up to date we have:
- Ensure the Jagged Globe site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Completely redeveloped the booking procedure. Existing clients can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a procedure for recording customer capacity. Climbing in the wilderness can be dangerous and is normally physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every client is fit to travel.
- Integrated the website with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the client show the many images that the climbers collect, we have developed an application to upload and manage clients’ photos in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for e-commerce in Porthmadog
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the largest retailers of model railways and toys in the country – with a volume of orders to match. When they came to us, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
We built a new site on the industry-leading Shopify platform that has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railway market permits pre-orders with very long delivery times. We have created a bespoke, distinct pre-order system using javascript integrated directly into the Shopify framework.
- Stock management and order fulfilment is processed using Peoplevox. We coordinated teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital developed the website for West Sussex medical aesthetics clinic, Casafia, when they needed something personal. A dream project for us; Little Fire worked with our client to create the logo and branding combining subtle colourways and clean, modern design.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system designed specifically for the beauty market.
Pabau is smoothly integrated with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created design of the corporate website. Mailing list subscription forms on the main site add clients directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the client can update their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget is built to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred chat platform.
Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had decades ejected from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to purchase a site and start building the their new stadium on the same road, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new stadium was nearly finished but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, we stepped up, worked like fools to delivered a standalone platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the greatest fundraiser 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.”
