Bespoke Web Development in Wareham – A Solution for Every Problem
Your business and its opportunities are yours, until you share them with us we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are few brief examples to show some of the wins Little Fire have achieved.
Unique Website Development for Business Worldwide
Aiming High
Since the late 1980s, Jagged Globe has been the foremost firm organising mountaineering expeditions for climbers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise expeditions for clients around the world.
We didn’t design the website but we have updated a huge number of projects, while retaining the original scheme and its impressive photography.
It hasn’t been without difficulty, to stay up to date we have:
- Ensure the website meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the online booking system. Existing clients can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a application for recording client capacity. Climbing at high altitudes is not without risk and is normally physically exacting – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each and every climber is safe to climb.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe website with the SendInBlue mail management system so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe display the many images that the climbers collect, we have developed tools to upload and manage clients’ images in bulk.
Custom Web Development for Online Retail in Wareham
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the largest online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the country – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to Little Fire, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Built on the market-leading Shopify platform, 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 railways marketplace has pre-orders with very long delivery times. To allow this, we have created a custom, separate 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 really like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital helped build the online presence for Worthing beauty business, Casafia, when they needed something unique. An ideal job for Little Fire; we collaborated with our client to design the logo and branding which combines subtle colourways and sharp, stylish design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau CRM – a system developed specifically for the medical aesthetics market.
Pabau is built to smoothly 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 sign up forms on the main website add customers directly a Mailchimp list and the customer can manage their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the chat widget is integrated to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred text platform.
Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a spot of bother. They had years dispossessed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to acquire a site and start building the their new stadium on the same road, Plough Lane, in South London.
The new stadium was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under mad time pressure, we stepped forward, worked like slaves and delivered a bespoke platform from which the club could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It was 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.”
