Little Fire Digital for Bespoke Website Development in East Sussex
Our team members at Little Fire have been working across the country since the internet was young. We’ve fixed a lot of complex problems and created some terrific solutions.
Amongst our projects, our team have: authored stock management systems for a Sheffield supermarket franchise, integrated the Brightpearl order fulfilment system with custom websites, created custom products to sell maps from interactive browsable maps, bonds to help build the Plough Lane Stadium for AFC Wimbledon; and a simplified checkout page to sell adventure expeditions online.
Bespoke Web Development in Rye – Every Project is Unique, Every Solution Different
Your business is yours, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some micro examples to show some of the problems we’ve managed to resolve.
Bespoke Web Development for Business Worldwide
Aiming for the Summit
Since the late 1980s, Jagged Globe has been one of the foremost operators organising high-altitude trips for clients. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers worldwide.
Although we didn’t build the website but we’ve updated a great deal. All whilst retaining its original scheme with its stunning photography.
It hasn’t been simple, over the years we have had to:
- Redevelop so that the Jagged Globe website meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking system. Returning clients can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a system for recording climber fitness. Climbing mountains is not without danger and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each customer is fit to explore.
- Integrated the website with the SendInBlue mail management system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the client show the many images that the clients collect, we have implemented tools to upload and manage customers’ images in bulk.
Web Development for Online Retail in Rye
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the busiest online retailers of model railways and hobbies in the North of England – with a volume of orders to match. When they came to Little Fire Digital, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Little Fire built 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 railway marketplace has pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery times. We have created a custom, 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 Digital coordinated teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital built the website for West Sussex beauty practice, Casafia, when they needed something personal. This was a perfect project for us; Little Fire collaborated with our client to develop the logo and branding which features subtle colourways and crisp, stylish design.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system developed for the beauty market.
Pabau is directly integrated with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate site. Mailing list subscription forms on the site add customers directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer is able to update their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the IRC widget is built to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual chat platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had years ejected from their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had finally managed to buy a site and start building the their new stadium on the same road, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new ground was about to be completed but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, Little Fire stepped in, worked like fools to delivered a standalone platform from which the club could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It has been the greatest fundraising effort 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.”
