Custom Web Development in South Ockendon – Every Problem is Unique, Every Solution Different
Your business and its issues are yours, until you share them with us we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are few quick examples to show some of the solutions Little Fire have delivered.
Custom Web Development for Global Business
Aiming High
Since 1987, Jagged Globe has been the leading company running mountaineering trips for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe organise adventures for climbers around the world.
Although we didn’t build the Jagged Globe website but we’ve done a huge number of projects. All while preserving the original scheme and its beautiful imagery.
It hasn’t been without difficulty, over the years we have had to:
- Redevelop so that the Jagged Globe 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 interface. Existing clients can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a application for recording client health. Climbing at high altitudes is not without danger and is often physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every client is fit to climb.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the client make best use of the many images that the customers collect, we have implemented systems to upload and manage climbers’ photos in bulk.
Unique Web Development for e-commerce in South Ockendon
Amongst the most successful online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the north of England, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire to develop an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Developed on the market-leading Shopify platform, the new Rails of Sheffield site has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business 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 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 development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d really love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
When West Sussex medical aesthetics business, Casafia were looking to go online, they asked for the help of Little Fire {Digital Ltd}. This was a dream task for Little Fire; we worked with the client to design the logo and branding featuring subtle colours with crisp, modern layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau CRM – a system designed specifically for the beauty market.
Pabau is smoothly integrated with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact branding of the corporate website. Mailing list sign up forms on the site add customers directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer can manage their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the IRC widget is integrated to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual text platform.
Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had decades robbed of their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had finally managed to acquire a site and start building the their new home ground on the same street, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new ground was about to be completed but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, we stepped in, worked like fools to developed a one-off platform from which AFC Wimbledon could sell bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the greatest fundraising effort 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.”
