Little Fire for Bespoke Web Development in Northern England
Our team at Little Fire have been developing bespoke websites nationwide for many years. We’ve resolved a lot of tricky issues and created some terrific solutions.
In the past, Little Fire have: written stock control systems for a Sheffield supermarket franchise, integrated the Brightpearl Retail Operating System with bespoke websites, created custom products to sell maps from Google maps, bonds to help construct the Plough Lane Stadium for AFC Wimbledon; and a simplified checkout page to sell adventure expeditions online.
Custom Web Development Northern England – Every Project is Unique, Every Solution Different
Your business and its opportunities are yours, until you tell us about them we can’t tell you anything meaningful about them. So, instead, here are some micro examples to demonstrate some of the problems Little Fire Digital Ltd have managed to fix.
Unique Web Development for Businesses Worldwide
Aiming High
Since 1987, Jagged Globe has been one of the leading company running high-altitude trips for climbers. They were the first British company to organise a professionally-run expedition to Everest. Jagged Globe serve clients worldwide.
Although we didn’t build the website but we have updated a great deal, while keeping the original design and its beautiful photography.
It’s not been simple, to stay up to date we have had to:
- Ensure the site meets Google’s mobile-friendly standard.
- To meet the emerging PCI (Payment Card Industry) requirements, we implemented the Sagepay (Opayo) online payment gateway to take deposits online.
- Massively simplified the online booking user-experience. Returning climbers can now book a trip in as few as 5 clicks.
- Wrote a procedure for recording climber capacity. Climbing mountains can be risky and is often physically demanding – Jagged Globe need to be certain that each customer is safe to climb.
- Integrated the company’s website with the SendInBlue mail management platform so the mailing lists are completely GDPR compliant.
- To help Jagged Globe display the many images that the clients collect, we have built tools to upload and manage customers’ photos in bulk.
Custom Web Development for
e-commerce in Yorkshire
Amongst the busiest online vendors of model railways and toys in the Country, with a volume of sales to match, Rails of Sheffield needed us to provide 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 market involves pre-orders with very long delivery times. To allow this, we have created a on-off, distinct 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 shops.
Whatever you‘re selling, we’d like to hear from you.
Website Development for
New Businesses Countrywide
When West Sussex medical aesthetics business, Casafia were looking to launch, they consulted the help of Little Fire {Digital}. A perfect task for us; we worked with the client to create the logo and branding combining subtle colourways and clean, stylish layout.
The website integrates with the Pabau Customer Relationship Management System – a system developed for the beauty sector.
Pabau smoothly works with Mailchimp to handle client communications so we built the Pabau email templates so that they matched the exact design of the corporate website. Mailing list sign up forms on the main site add users directly a Mailchimp mailing list and the customer is able to manage their settings without ever leaving casafia.com.
To keep communication simple, the IRC client works with Facebook Messenger – our client’s preferred text platform.
Web Development for Fundraising
AFC Wimbledon were in a fix. They had years robbed of their traditional home ground, Plough Lane, and had at last managed to acquire a site and start building the their new stadium on the same street, Plough Lane, in Wimbledon.
The new ground was about to be completed but they had run out of money.
Under lunatic time pressure, Little Fire Digital stepped in, worked like slaves and developed a standalone platform from which AFC Wimbledon could issue bonds and raise money from their supporters.
It was the greatest 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.”
