Bespoke Web Development in Essex – Every Challenge 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 micro case studies to show some of the wins we’ve achieved.
Custom Website Development for Worldwide Businesses
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been the leading operators running mountaineering adventures for climbers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers around the world.
Although we didn’t construct the website but we’ve updated a great deal, while retaining the original design with its impressive imagery.
It’s not been straightforward, to stay up to date we have:
- 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) payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Completely redeveloped the booking procedure. Returning clients can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a procedure for recording customer fitness. Climbing in the wilderness is not without risk and is typically physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each climber is safe to climb.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue email marketing system so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the client display the many images that the customers collect, we have implemented an application to upload and manage climbers’ photos in bulk.
Unique Web Development for Online Retail in Shenfield
As one of most successful online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the Country, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to develop an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Little Fire Digital Ltd delivered a new website on the market-leading Shopify system that has provided the much-needed stability to allow Rails of Sheffield to grow.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railway marketplace has pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery times. We have created a bespoke, bespoke pre-order basket and checkout 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 really like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital helped build the website for West Sussex medical aesthetics business, Casafia, when they needed something personal. A perfect job for us; Little Fire worked with the client to create the logo and branding combining subtle colourways and crisp, stylish layout.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system developed specifically for the beauty sector.
Pabau directly works with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created design of the main website. Mailing list subscription forms on the site add customers directly a Mailchimp list and the client can manage their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget is integrated to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual chat platform.
Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had years robbed of their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to purchase a site and start building the their new home ground on the same road, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new ground was about to be finished but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, Little Fire stepped in, worked like slaves to delivered a standalone platform from which the Dons could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It has been the greatest fundraising project in the history of the English football league, and Little Fire Digital 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.”
