Web Development in Halton – A Solution for Every Problem
Your business is your own and you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are few micro case studies to show some of the wins we’ve achieved.
Website Development for Global Businesses
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the foremost firm organising high-altitude adventures for climbers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-led attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise adventures for clients worldwide.
Although we didn’t build the Jagged Globe website but we’ve completed a great deal. All while preserving the original scheme and its stunning imagery.
It’s not been without difficulty, to stay up to date we have:
- Make the Jagged Globe website meets Google’s mobile-friendly requirements.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we developed an interface for the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment system to take client deposits online.
- Massively simplified the booking user-experience. Existing climbers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Implemented a application for recording client health. Climbing in the wilderness is not without danger and is typically physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to know that each and every climber is fit to explore.
- Integrated the company’s website with the SendInBlue email marketing system so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help the company display the many pictures that the climbers collect, we have built systems to upload and manage customers’ images in bulk.
Web Development for e-commerce in Widnes
Rails of Sheffield, are amongst the most successful online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the country – with a volume of sales to match. When they came to us, we needed to deliver an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
We built a new site on the market-leading Shopify system that has provided the much-needed stability to allow the business to grow.
The new site meets a number of challenges:
- The model railway market permits pre-orders with exceptionally long delivery times. We have created a on-off, distinct pre-order basket and checkout using javascript integrated directly into the Shopify framework.
- Stock management and order fulfilment is processed using Peoplevox. Little Fire 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 love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
When West Sussex beauty practice, Casafia were looking to go online, they came to the help of Little Fire {Digital}. This was an ideal project for Little Fire; we worked with the client to create the logo and branding which combines soft colourways with clean, stylish design.
The website features online booking through the Pabau CRM – a system developed for the beauty market.
Pabau is smoothly 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 site. Mailing list sign up forms on the main website add users directly a Mailchimp list and the user is able to update their contact preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the IRC client is built to work with Facebook Messenger – our client’s usual chat platform.
Unique Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a bind. They had decades ejected from their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had somehow managed to buy 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 insane time pressure, Little Fire stepped up and worked like slaves to developed a one-off platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It was 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.”
