Custom Web Development in Whitehaven – Every Challenge is Unique, Every Solution Different
Your business is yours, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some brief case studies to show some of the problems we’ve managed to fix.
Bespoke Website Development for Business Worldwide
Aiming for the Top
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been the leading firm organising high-altitude adventures for customers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe serve climbers worldwide.
We didn’t design the Jagged Globe website but we’ve updated a great deal. All while keeping its original scheme and its beautiful photography.
It’s not been simple, over the years we have:
- Ensure the Jagged Globe site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking interface. Returning climbers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a procedure for recording customer health. Climbing in the wilderness is not without danger and is often physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each climber is fit to travel.
- Integrated the company’s site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe show the many images that the customers collect, we have built tools to upload and manage customers’ pictures in bulk.
Custom Web Development for e-commerce in Whitehaven
Amongst the busiest online vendors of model railways and hobbies in the north of England, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed Little Fire to develop an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
We developed a new website on the rock-solid Shopify platform which has provided the much-needed stability to allow Rails of Sheffield to grow.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railway market permits pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery timeframes. To accommodate this, 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 Digital Ltd coordinated teams of developers to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and Rails of Sheffield’s two ebay shops.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d like to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
Little Fire Digital built the website for West Sussex beauty clinic, Casafia, when they needed something a little different. A dream task for Little Fire; we collaborated with the client to design the logo and branding which features subtle colourways with sharp, modern design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed specifically for the beauty clinic sector.
Pabau is directly integrated with Mailchimp to handle customer communications so we designed the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the main site. Mailing list sign up forms on the site add users straight to a Mailchimp list and the user can change their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the IRC widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual text platform.
Unique Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had decades away 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 South London.
The new stadium was almost finished but they had run out of money.
Under near-impossible time pressure, Little Fire Digital stepped forward and worked like fools and created them a standalone platform from which the Dons could issue bonds to raise money from their supporters.
It turned out to be the most successful fundraiser 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.”
