Challenge
The main goal was to provide end-to-end development of the website with a fresher look and better user experience concept.
Provide new UX/UI design concept- Add a “search” feature with common filters for a variety of tours and experiences
- Create a “favorite” feature, where guests can “favorite” tours, accommodations or places
- Setup a blog crawler. Blog crawler should allow to add posts via CMS or provide previews with fetching data from source links
Solution
4 months of productive work gave us a final product with eye-catching design and uncommon features:
New & fresh UI concept was delivered according to predefined color palette. Each destination has its own color, which is subconsciously associated with cardinal points in Iceland. For instance, East of Iceland is associated with dark-green color because of forests, vast expanses and green narrow fjords. As the main accent colors 3 shades of blue were chosen. These colors give us a reminder of glaciers and cold in Iceland.- A “search” feature was integrated due to provided API and was customized for all our needs. For filters we used API’s categories and subcategories to deliver predefined choice from user’s side.
- We created a “favorite” feature, that allows guests to save favorite tours, places or accommodations and send them by email. To make this feature easy-to-use, we defined a local storage, where all the info is saved, so the number of iterations from user’s side is decreased and guests don’t need to register or login again.
- Our team developed a blog crawler according to technical requirements. Company’s representatives can moderate blog via CMS or add the link from listed sources directly to the code, where blog’s config will fetch data from source and put into the preview block on our website. The “read more” button will redirect guests to the source link.
