Web Development in Oxfordshire – 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 some quick examples to show some of the problems Little Fire have managed to fix.
Custom Website Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming High
From the late 1980s until today, Jagged Globe has been the leading operators running mountaineering trips for customers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-led expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve climbers worldwide.
We didn’t design the website but we’ve done a huge number of projects, whilst retaining the original design and its beautiful photography.
It’s not been simple, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Redevelop so that the website meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we coded for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the online booking procedure. Existing customers can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a procedure for recording client fitness. Climbing mountains can be risky and is often physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each and every client is safe to explore.
- Integrated the site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the company display the many images that the clients collect, we have built an application to upload and manage customers’ photos in bulk.
Web Development for e-commerce in Wantage
Amongst the most successful online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the North, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire Digital Ltd to develop enterprise-level e-commerce.
Developed on the industry-leading Shopify platform, the new Rails of Sheffield website has proven to be the solution they need.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway marketplace involves pre-orders with extraordinarily long delivery times. We have created a custom, bespoke 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 stores.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
When Worthing beauty practice, Casafia were looking to go online, they came to the help of Little Fire {Digital Ltd}. This was an ideal project for Little Fire; we worked with the client to create the logo and branding which combines soft colours with clean, modern layout.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system designed specifically for the beauty clinic market.
Pabau is seamlessly integrated with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we completed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created design of the corporate website. Mailing list sign up forms on the site add clients straight to a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer is able to manage their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual text platform.
Bespoke Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had decades ejected from their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to acquire a site and start building the their new home ground on the same street, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new ground was almost completed but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, we stepped up, worked like fools and developed a bespoke platform from which the club could sell bonds and 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 Digital Ltd 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.”
