Custom Web Development in Devon – A Solution for Every Problem
Your business and its challenges are yours, until you share them with us we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are some brief examples to demonstrate some of the problems we’ve managed to resolve.
Website Development for Global Businesses
Aiming High
Since 1987, Jagged Globe has been the leading company organising mountaineering adventures for customers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve clients around the world.
Although we didn’t build the Jagged Globe website but we’ve updated a great deal, while keeping the original design with its beautiful imagery.
It hasn’t been straightforward, over the years we have had to:
- Make the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take client deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the booking procedure. Existing customers can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a system for recording climber health. Climbing at high altitudes can be dangerous and is often physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each and every customer is safe to climb.
- Integrated the company’s site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe show the many pictures that the clients collect, we have built tools to upload and manage climbers’ pictures in bulk.
Unique Web Development for e-commerce in Teignmouth
Amongst the most successful online vendors of model railways and toys in the North, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire to create an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Built on the rock-solid Shopify platform, the new Rails of Sheffield website has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railway market has pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery times. To allow this, we have created a on-off, distinct 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
When West Sussex beauty business, Casafia were looking to build their website, they asked for the help of Little Fire {Digital Ltd}. This was an ideal job for Little Fire; we worked with our client to design the logo and branding featuring subtle colours with sharp, stylish design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed for the beauty clinic sector.
Pabau directly works with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact branding of the main website. Mailing list subscription forms on the website add users straight to a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer is able to manage their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the IRC widget is integrated to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s regular chat platform.
Unique Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had decades ejected from 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 nearly finished but they had run out of money.
Under lunatic time pressure, we stepped in, worked like fools to created them a one-off 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 football league, and Little Fire Digital Limited 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.”
