Amongst our projects, Little Fire have: developed stock management systems for a Sheffield supermarket franchise, integrated the Brightpearl Retail Operating System with bespoke websites, created unique product types to sell maps from interactive browsable maps, loans to help finish the Plough Lane Stadium for AFC Wimbledon; and a streamlined checkout procedure to sell mountaineering trips online.
Bespoke Web Development in Lancashire – A Solution for Every Project
Your business is your own and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some brief case studies to demonstrate some of the problems Little Fire have managed to resolve.
Custom Website Development for International Businesses
Aiming High
From the late 1980s until today, Jagged Globe has been the foremost company running mountaineering expeditions for climbers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise expeditions for customers globally.
Although we didn’t build the website but we have completed a great deal. All while retaining the original design with its beautiful imagery.
It hasn’t been simple, to stay up to date we have:
- Redevelop so that the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment system to take deposits online.
- Completely redeveloped the online booking system. Returning clients can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Developed a application for recording climber capacity. Climbing in the wilderness can be dangerous and is typically physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every customer is safe to explore.
- Integrated the site with the SendInBlue mail management system so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the client display the many pictures that the customers collect, we have developed systems to upload and manage clients’ images in bulk.
Bespoke Web Development for Online Retail in Walton le Dale
Amongst the most successful online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the North, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire 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 railways market involves pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery times. We have created a bespoke, separate pre-order system 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 have to sell, we’d like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
When Worthing medical aesthetics practice, Casafia were looking to build their website, they consulted the help of Little Fire {Digital}. A dream project for Little Fire; we collaborated with our client to develop the logo and branding which features soft colours with sharp, stylish layout.
The website features online booking through the Pabau CRM – a system created for the beauty clinic market.
Pabau is built to directly work with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the main site. Mailing list subscription forms on the site add customers directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer can update their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget plugs straight into Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual chat platform.
Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had decades robbed of their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had amazingly 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 almost completed but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, Little Fire Digital Limited stepped in and worked like fools and created them a bespoke platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It was the most successful fundraising project 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.”
