Redesign of Travel Portal


Client

GoMosafer is an Award Winning online division of Mosafer Travel promoted by Abu Issa Holding, one of the leading business groups in the Middle-East.


Business Challenge

Client wanted to optimize user experience and establish a clear brand identity. They wanted a new digital platform that could respond to modern travel needs and behaviors, without doing much clicks.

Solution

§  We worked with the client to help them reinvent the digital travel experience. Based on an analysis of their website and revenue, we recommended that they prioritize rethinking their booking experience in order to improve conversion rates, repeat visits, and mobile engagement rates.

§  The discovery and planning process led to an exhaustive set of recommendations ranging from UX and technology to content, engagement and messaging. Our approach boiled down to identifying and understanding the key audiences and then reimagining the site from a user-centric standpoint.  In the early phases of the project, our team determined that the client’s KPIs were driven by a few really important use cases, not by twenty of them.

§  This involved the development of numerous personas, which in-turn helped reduce the overall page count by approximately two-thirds when compared to their previous site. By doing so, information could be shaped in a more compelling fashion, while also making content easier to access and faster to scan.

§  In researching other online presences, we discovered that many sites had great homepages but fairly lacklustre content presentation—like a book with a great cover, but little beyond that. We wanted the site to reveal more as visitors went deeper into it, the website should constantly wow and reward visitors with quality content.


Business Benefit:

After successfully A/B testing the new design against the old, the reinvented GoMosafer.com was released. The site has exceeded performance goals of more than 10% increase in conversion rates and 20% decrease in web-related phone calls.

Technology:

§  ASP.NET with C#.Net
§  JQuery
§  Bootstrap.JS
§  HTML5, CSS3

§  SQL Server
