Web Development in Durham – 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 brief case studies to show some of the problems we’ve managed to fix.
Custom Web Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming High
From 1987 until today, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading company organising mountaineering expeditions for climbers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve clients globally.
Although we didn’t build the website but we have updated a great deal, whilst retaining the original scheme and its impressive photography.
It hasn’t been without difficulty, over the years we have:
- Redesign so that the Jagged Globe site meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking user-experience. Returning clients can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a procedure for recording climber fitness. Climbing at high altitudes can be dangerous and is often physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each and every customer is safe to travel.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the company display the many photos that the climbers collect, we have built tools to upload and manage customers’ images in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for Online Retail in Shotley Bridge
As one of most successful online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the North, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire Digital to provide enterprise-level e-commerce.
Developed on the market-leading Shopify system, the new Rails of Sheffield site has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways marketplace has pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery times. We have created a bespoke, distinct 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 stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really love to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital developed the online presence for Worthing beauty practice, Casafia, when they needed something unique. This was a perfect task for Little Fire; we collaborated with the client to design the logo and branding which features soft colourways with clean, modern layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed specifically for the beauty clinic sector.
Pabau is built to seamlessly work with Mailchimp to handle client emails so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate website. Mailing list sign up forms on the main website add customers straight to a Mailchimp mailing list and the client is able to manage their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular chat platform.
Bespoke Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had years robbed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had amazingly managed to buy a site and start building the their new stadium on the same road, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new ground was almost completed but they had run out of money.
Under insane time pressure, Little Fire Digital Ltd stepped up, worked like slaves and created them a unique platform from which the Dons could sell bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the most successful fundraiser in the history of the 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.”
