Travel website design & UX

World of cruising news index

Travel websites are often part inspiration, part decision-making tool. People compare destinations, jump between offers and explore several brands before making a decision.

Good travel web design needs to look great and make it easy for people to search, compare and book their hard-earned time off.

What we do

As a travel website design agency, LuckyTurn has spent years working with travel brands and companies to create strong visuals and simplify complex browsing journeys, while supporting enquiries, bookings and business growth.

Our services cover the entire process, from strategy and design through to development and long-term support, including:

Our approach

People browse travel differently to many other sectors. 

They move between inspiration and research, compare several options and often come back more than once before making a decision (we’ve explored this in more detail in our guide to travel website UX.)

All this shapes how we approach travel web design. We start by understanding what users need from the site and how they move through it. That means making search, filtering and key information easy to use, and removing friction from the journey towards booking.

We combine strong visual design with clear navigation, flexible content structures and websites that are easy to update.

How we work

From discovery all the way to post-launch...

  • 1

    Getting to know your brand and audience

    We start by getting down to the basics - how your travel brand works, who your audiences are and how people currently use your website.

  • 2

    IA and user journeys

    We map out destinations, offers, editorial content and campaign pages that need to coexist without making navigation feel chaotic. 

  • 3

    Design and development

    Once the structure is in place, design and development move forward at the same time, so the finished product works as well in practice as it does on paper.

  • 4

    Launch and ongoing support

    Travel sites don't sit still for long. Campaigns change, content evolves and priorities shift, so support doesn’t necessarily end when the site goes live.

Our experience

We've worked with brands including Just Go Holidays, World of Cruising, Food and Travel Magazine and Fleetway Travel to name just a few...

From cruise brands and travel companies to publishers, we understand there's balance between inspiring people to explore and helping them take the next step, whether that's making an enquiry, booking a trip or subscribing to content.

After all, most people don't arrive on a travel website knowing exactly what they want. Half the job is helping them figure that out.

From the outset LTM took the time to understand our business and our users to really help us focus on our goals. Thoroughly recommend working with them.
