Little Fire for Bespoke Web Development in Cumbria
At Little Fire Digital Ltd, we have been working across the country since the beginning of the internet. We’ve fixed a lot of knotty problems and come up with some outstanding solutions.
In our history, our team have: developed stock management systems for a Sheffield supermarket chain, integrated the Brightpearl Retail Operating System with unique websites, created custom products to sell maps from Google maps, loans to help build AFC Wimbledon’s Plough Lane Stadium; and a streamlined checkout procedure to sell adventure trips online.
Custom Web Development in Cumbria – A Solution for Every Problem
Your business is your own, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few brief examples to show some of the wins Little Fire have achieved.
Custom Web Development for Global Business
Aiming High
Since the late 1980s, Jagged Globe has been the foremost company running high-altitude trips for customers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise trips for customers worldwide.
We didn’t design the website but we have updated a huge number of projects, whilst keeping its original scheme and its beautiful imagery.
It hasn’t been without difficulty, over the years we have:
- Redevelop so that 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 redesigned the online booking user-experience. Returning climbers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a system for recording client fitness. Climbing at high altitudes is not without risk and is normally physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each customer is safe to climb.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe website with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the client make best use of the many photos that the clients collect, we have implemented tools to upload and manage customers’ images in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for Online Retail in Silloth
Amongst the largest online vendors of model railways and toys in the north of England, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire Digital Limited to create enterprise-level e-commerce.
We developed a new website on the rock-solid Shopify platform which has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways market has pre-orders with very long delivery times. We have created a custom, bespoke pre-order system 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 love to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital developed the online presence for Worthing beauty business, Casafia, when they needed something a little different. A perfect job for us; Little Fire collaborated with our client to create the logo and branding combining soft colourways and sharp, stylish design.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system created specifically for the medical aesthetics sector.
Pabau is directly integrated with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created design of the corporate website. Mailing list sign up forms on the main site add clients straight to 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 client is integrated to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred chat platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had decades robbed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to acquire a site and start building the their new stadium on the same street, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new stadium was almost completed but they had run out of money.
Under lunatic time pressure, Little Fire Digital Limited stepped up, worked like fools and created them a bespoke platform from which the Dons could sell bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the greatest fundraiser in the history of the English 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.”
