Custom Web Development in Portsmouth – Every Problem is Unique, Every Solution Different
Your business is yours and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some micro case studies to show some of the wins Little Fire Digital Limited have achieved.
Bespoke Web Development for Business Worldwide
Aiming High
Since 1987, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading company organising mountaineering adventures for climbers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise trips for climbers around the world.
We didn’t build the website but we have completed a huge number of projects, while keeping the original design and its stunning imagery.
It’s not been simple, over the years we have had to:
- Redesign so that the website meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take client deposits online.
- Completely redeveloped the booking user-experience. Returning climbers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a application for recording climber capacity. Climbing at high altitudes is not without risk and is often physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each and every client is fit to explore.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue mail management system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe display the many pictures that the customers collect, we have implemented systems to upload and manage climbers’ images in bulk.
Web Development for e-commerce in Portsmouth
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the largest vendors of model railways and craft goods in the North of England – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to Little Fire Digital Ltd, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Developed on the industry-leading Shopify platform, the new Rails of Sheffield website has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railway market 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 coordinated teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
When West Sussex medical aesthetics practice, Casafia were looking to go online, they came to the help of Little Fire {Digital Ltd}. This was a dream task for us; we worked with our client to develop the logo and branding which features subtle colourways and sharp, modern design.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system designed for the beauty sector.
Pabau is smoothly integrated with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the main website. Mailing list sign up forms on the main website add customers directly a Mailchimp list and the client can manage their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget is built to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred text platform.
Custom Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had decades away from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had amazingly managed to buy a site and start building the their new home ground on the same road, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new stadium was about to be finished but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, Little Fire Digital stepped up, worked like slaves and delivered a standalone platform from which the club could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It was the most successful fundraising effort 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.”
