Web Development in Ticehurst – 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 quick case studies to show some of the wins Little Fire Digital Ltd have achieved.
Unique Website Development for Businesses Worldwide
Reaching for the Peaks
Since the late 1980s, Jagged Globe has been the foremost company organising high-altitude trips for clients. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers globally.
Although we didn’t build the website but we’ve updated a great deal, while keeping the original scheme and its beautiful imagery.
It hasn’t been simple, over the years we have:
- Redesign so that the Jagged Globe website meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the online booking procedure. Returning climbers can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a system for recording customer capacity. Climbing mountains can be dangerous and is typically physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each and every climber is safe to climb.
- Integrated the company’s website with the SendInBlue email marketing system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the company make best use of the many pictures that the climbers collect, we have developed an application to upload and manage clients’ photos in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for Online Retail in Ticehurst
Amongst the most successful 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 Ltd to provide enterprise-level e-commerce.
Developed on the industry-leading Shopify system, the new Rails of Sheffield website 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 timeframes. We have created a custom, 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 like to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital developed the website for West Sussex beauty business, Casafia, when they needed something unique. A perfect job for Little Fire; we collaborated with the client to create the logo and branding featuring soft colourways and crisp, modern design.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system designed specifically for the beauty clinic market.
Pabau seamlessly works with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate site. Mailing list sign up forms on the main site add customers directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the user is able to update their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the IRC widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual chat platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had decades robbed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had amazingly managed to buy a site and start building the their new home ground on the same road, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new ground was nearly completed but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, Little Fire stepped up, worked like fools and delivered a bespoke platform from which the Dons could sell bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the greatest fundraising project in the history of the 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.”
