Web Development in Swalwell – A Solution for Every Project
Your business and its opportunities are yours, until you share them with us we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are some micro case studies to show some of the solutions we’ve delivered.
Custom Web Development for Business Worldwide
Aiming High
Since 1987, Jagged Globe has been one of the foremost company running mountaineering trips for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers globally.
We didn’t design the website but we’ve completed a huge number of projects. All whilst preserving its original scheme and its impressive imagery.
It’s not been straightforward, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Ensure the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Completely redeveloped the booking procedure. Existing clients can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a system for recording customer fitness. Climbing mountains is not without risk and is typically physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every client is fit to explore.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe website with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe make best use of the many photos that the climbers collect, we have implemented tools to upload and manage customers’ images in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for e-commerce in Swalwell
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 us to develop an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Little Fire Digital Limited delivered a new site on the industry-leading Shopify system that has proven to be the solution that Rails of Sheffield need.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway marketplace permits pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery times. We have created a custom, separate 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‘re selling, we’d really like to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital helped build the website for Worthing medical aesthetics practice, Casafia, when they needed something unique. This was a perfect job for us; Little Fire worked with the client to create the logo and branding combining subtle colours with sharp, modern design.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system created for the beauty sector.
Pabau is built to directly work with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the main site. Mailing list subscription forms on the site add customers directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the client is able to update their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the IRC widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred text platform.
Custom Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had decades dispossessed of their traditional 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 South London.
The new ground was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, we stepped up, worked like slaves to developed a one-off platform from which the Dons could sell bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It was 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.”
