Web Development in Surrey – Every Problem is Different, Every Solution is Unique
Your business and its challenges are yours, until you tell us about them we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are few brief examples to demonstrate some of the solutions we’ve delivered.
Custom Web Development for Global Business
Aiming High
Since 1987, Jagged Globe has been the foremost company organising high-altitude expeditions for climbers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise adventures for customers around the world.
We didn’t construct the website but we have updated a great deal. All while preserving the original scheme and its stunning imagery.
It hasn’t been straightforward, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Ensure the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking user-experience. Existing customers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a procedure for recording client fitness. Climbing mountains can be dangerous and is normally physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each and every client is fit to explore.
- Integrated the site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the client display the many pictures that the climbers collect, we have implemented an application to upload and manage climbers’ images in bulk.
Custom Web Development for e-commerce in Pyrford
As one of largest online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the North, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire Digital Ltd to develop an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Little Fire delivered a new site on the rock-solid Shopify system which has provided the much-needed stability to allow Rails of Sheffield to grow.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway marketplace involves pre-orders with very long delivery timeframes. We have created a on-off, separate pre-order system 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 Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital developed the website for Worthing beauty business, Casafia, when they needed something a little different. This was a perfect project for us; we worked with the client to develop the logo and branding which combines subtle colourways and clean, stylish layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau smoothly works 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 site add users straight to a Mailchimp list and the client is able to change their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred text platform.
Bespoke Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had decades robbed of their historical 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 nearly completed but they had run out of money.
Under insane time pressure, Little Fire stepped up and worked like slaves to delivered a one-off platform from which the Dons could sell bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It has been the most successful 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.”
