About the client
Having devoted over 25 years to the travel industry, the Tradition Tours founder has discovered his own recipe of a perfect tour. He strives to make each trip valuable and meaningful for his clients, so it becomes an incredible unforgettable experience. The company deals with all the hassle of planning and organizing the trip, and accommodation arrangements, while taking into account their clients’ preferences, interests and age.
Project idea
Tradition tours let people gain memorable experience of exploring ancient historical and religious landmarks. So, the company’s website should be a simple and useful tool to:
highlight the unique sights, atmosphere and vibes of the travel destinations
allow quick booking of custom, family, church, or group tours
provide customers support, possibility to quickly get in touch with a tour manager, and other helpful information.
Story
Story
The client came to us with a WordPress website, which was getting outdated:
poor and slow performance
troubles with SEO
limited upgrading possibilities
not supporting the new functionality which the client intended to implement.
So, the number one priority was rebuilding the website with a modern tech stack.
Besides, Tradition Tours founder had a good knowledge of his customers audience: about 20% of the website visitors used tablets, and a significant part of the clients were seniors. It allowed him to form detailed design vision and requirements, the main of which were
as simple and intuitive design as possible
and a convenient tablet layout for the most user-friendly experience.
