Bespoke Web Development in South Lanarkshire – A Solution for Every Project
Your business is your own, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some micro examples to show some of the solutions we’ve delivered.
Web Development for Global Businesses
Reaching for the Peaks
From 1987 until today, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading company running high-altitude trips for climbers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe organise adventures for customers worldwide.
Although we didn’t build the website but we have updated a great deal. All whilst retaining its original design with its stunning imagery.
It’s not been without difficulty, to stay up to date we have:
- Redevelop so that the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking interface. Returning clients can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a system for recording climber capacity. Climbing in the wilderness is not without risk and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each and every client is safe to travel.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe website with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe show the many images that the clients collect, we have implemented an application to upload and manage customers’ pictures in bulk.
Unique Web Development for Online Retail in Strathaven
As one of most successful online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the north of England, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to develop enterprise-level e-commerce.
Developed on the rock-solid Shopify system, 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 market permits pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery times. To manage this, we have created a bespoke, separate pre-order system using javascript integrated directly into the Shopify framework.
- Stock management and order fulfilment is processed using Peoplevox. Little Fire coordinated development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really love to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital helped build the website for West Sussex medical aesthetics practice, Casafia, when they needed something unique. A dream task for Little Fire; we collaborated with our client to create the logo and branding which features soft colours with sharp, modern design.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system developed specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau directly works with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate site. Mailing list subscription forms on the main website add users straight to a Mailchimp list and the client is able to change their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular chat platform.
Unique Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years dispossessed of their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to purchase a site and start building the their new home ground on the same street, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new stadium was about to be finished but they had run out of money.
Under insane time pressure, we stepped up and worked like fools and created them a one-off platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It has been the most successful 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.”
