About Client
Our client in Florida is well-known for their beautiful coastal vacation rentals. They offer stunning beachfront properties that are perfect for holidays.
However, despite their appealing properties, they’ve been facing a significant challenge. The conversion rate on their website is pretty low, which has started to impact their online business.
Task in Hand
We start by figuring out why customers aren’t booking the properties. Once we understand the problems, we can fix them to help increase bookings.
Approach
Now that we knew what needed fixing, we got right to work. Here’s a step-by-step look at how we tackled each part of the project:
1. Complete Website Audit
We started with a detailed check-up of the website to see what was going wrong. We looked at how the site was built, how users moved through it, whether the content was hitting the mark, and if everything was working smoothly.
This review clearly showed us where we needed to make improvements, like making the site easier to navigate, speeding up how quickly pages load, and generally making the site more user-friendly.
2. User Experience Research
After the audit, we really looked into how people were using the site by conducting user surveys, studying heatmaps, and watching recordings of user sessions. This helped us see exactly what was happening when people visited.
Using what we learned, we made some changes to the website. We focused on improving areas that would make it easier for users to find what they need and book their stay without any hassle.
3. Improved Visuals and Testimonials
To build more trust and keep visitors engaged, we upgraded the images and added real guest testimonials to the website. We used high-resolution photos of the properties that really show off the beauty and detail of each location. Alongside these, we placed testimonials from past guests throughout the site. These first-hand accounts help provide proof of the great experiences others have had.
By improving these visual elements and adding personal stories, we aimed to connect better with potential customers. This approach gives visitors a clearer idea of what they can expect and makes them feel more confident about booking their own stay.
4. Mobile Optimization
With more people using their phones for travel bookings, we focused on making the website work well on mobile devices. We redesigned it to adjust to all screen sizes and made it easier to navigate with touch.
We also improved how quickly the site loads on mobile. From browsing properties to booking, we made sure everything was simple and easy to use on phones and tablets.
