Little Fire for Bespoke Website Development in Kent
At Little Fire, we have been creating custom online solutions countrywide since the beginning of the internet. We’ve resolved a lot of tricky issues and implemented many great solutions.
Amongst our projects, Little Fire have: developed stock management systems for a Sheffield supermarket chain, integrated the Brightpearl Retail Operating System with bespoke websites, created custom products to sell maps from animated browsable maps, loans to help finish AFC Wimbledon’s Plough Lane Stadium; and a streamlined checkout procedure to sell mountaineering expeditions online.
Web Development in Kent – A Solution for Every Problem
Your business is yours, you’ll know more about it than we can guess at. So, instead, here are some micro examples to show some of the solutions Little Fire have delivered.
Bespoke Web Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming High
For over 35 years, Jagged Globe has been one of the foremost operators organising high-altitude adventures for customers. They were the first English company to organise a professionally-run attempt on Everest. Jagged Globe organise expeditions for climbers around the world.
We didn’t build the Jagged Globe website but we’ve completed a great deal, whilst keeping its original design with its impressive photography.
It’s not been without difficulty, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Ensure the Jagged Globe site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment system to take deposits online.
- Completely redesigned the online booking system. Existing clients can now book a expedition in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a application for recording customer health. Climbing mountains can be risky and is often physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be confident that each customer is fit to climb.
- Integrated the Jagged Globe site with the SendInBlue email marketing platform so the mailing lists are fully GDPR compliant.
- To help the company show the many images that the clients collect, we have developed systems to upload and manage clients’ photos in bulk.
Custom Web Development for e-commerce in Willesborough
As one of busiest online vendors of model railways and craft goods in the North, with a volume of orders to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to provide an enterprise-level e-commerce solution.
Little Fire developed a new site on the industry-leading Shopify system which has provided the much-needed stability to allow Rails of Sheffield to grow.
The new site fixes a number of problems:
- The model railways marketplace permits pre-orders with very long delivery timeframes. 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 development teams to get Peoplevox talking to Shopify and the client’s two ebay stores.
Whatever you have to sell, we’d love to hear from you.
Web Development for
New Businesses Nationwide
Little Fire Digital helped build the online presence for West Sussex medical aesthetics business, Casafia, when they needed something personal. This was a perfect task for us; we collaborated with the client to create the logo and branding which features soft colours with sharp, stylish layout.
The website integrates with the Pabau CRM – a system created for the medical aesthetics sector.
Pabau is built to seamlessly work with Mailchimp to handle customer emails so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the lovingly created branding of the corporate site. Mailing list subscription forms on the main site add users directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the client is able to manage their preferences without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep things simple, the chat widget works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred text platform.
Custom Website Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years robbed of their historical home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to purchase a site and start building the their new stadium on the same road, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
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 AFC Wimbledon could sell bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It was the most successful fundraiser in the history of the 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.”
