Custom Web Development in Devon – 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 case studies to demonstrate some of the solutions Little Fire Digital Ltd have delivered.
Web Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming for the Top
Since 1987, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading company organising high-altitude adventures for clients. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise trips for customers globally.
We didn’t design the website but we’ve done a huge number of projects. All whilst retaining its original scheme with its impressive photography.
It’s not been straightforward, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Ensure the website meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking procedure. Existing climbers can now book a adventure in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a procedure for recording customer fitness. Climbing mountains can be risky and is normally physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each client is fit to climb.
- Integrated the company’s website with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe display the many pictures that the clients collect, we have developed tools to upload and manage climbers’ images in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for e-commerce in Topsham
Rails of Sheffield, are one of most successful retailers of model railways and toys in the country – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to Little Fire, we needed to deliver enterprise-level e-commerce.
We developed a new site on the rock-solid Shopify system which has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways market permits pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery timeframes. We have created a custom, bespoke pre-order basket and checkout 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 like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
When Worthing beauty practice, Casafia were looking to build their website, they came to the help of Little Fire {Digital Ltd}. An ideal project for us; we worked with the client to develop the logo and branding featuring subtle colours and clean, stylish layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed for the medical aesthetics sector.
Pabau is built to directly work with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the main site. Mailing list sign up forms on the site add customers straight to a Mailchimp list and the user can manage their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget is integrated to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred chat platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had years ejected from their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had finally managed to buy a site and start building the their new home ground on the same street, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new stadium was nearly completed but they had run out of money.
Under lunatic time pressure, we stepped in, worked like slaves and delivered a standalone platform from which the club could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the greatest fundraising effort 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.”
