Web Development in Walmer – A Solution for Every Project
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 quick case studies to show some of the solutions we’ve delivered.
Unique Web Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming High
From the late 1980s until today, Jagged Globe has been the leading firm organising high-altitude expeditions for climbers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve customers globally.
Although we didn’t construct the Jagged Globe website but we’ve completed a huge number of projects. All whilst retaining the original scheme and its stunning imagery.
It’s not been straightforward, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Redevelop so that the Jagged Globe website meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment system to take deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the booking user-experience. Returning climbers can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a system for recording climber fitness. Climbing in the wilderness is not without risk and is typically physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each and every climber is fit to explore.
- Integrated the site with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the company display the many images that the climbers collect, we have built an application to upload and manage clients’ pictures in bulk.
Web Development for e-commerce in Walmer
Rails of Sheffield, are one of most successful retailers of model railways and hobbies in the North of England – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to Little Fire, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Developed on the market-leading 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 has pre-orders with very long delivery times. To accommodate this, 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 teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d really love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
When Worthing medical aesthetics business, Casafia were looking to go online, they consulted the help of Little Fire {Digital Ltd}. An ideal project for us; we collaborated with our client to develop the logo and branding which combines subtle colours and clean, stylish design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system created specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau seamlessly works with Mailchimp to handle customer communications so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate website. Mailing list subscription forms on the site add clients straight to a Mailchimp mailing list and the user can update their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the IRC client works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred chat platform.
Custom Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years robbed of their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had amazingly managed to acquire a site and start building the their new home ground on the same road, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new stadium was nearly completed but they had run out of money.
Under lunatic time pressure, we stepped up, worked like slaves and created them a bespoke platform from which the club could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the most successful fundraiser 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.”
