It’s been a few weeks now since we launched the all new Ski In Luxury website and so some will be wondering why I have only chosen to pull this blog together now, but we had to iron out the teething issues to ensure we are as “bug free” as possible before shouting about the website. However, we are now at a stage where I feel confident enough to stand at the top of Mont Blanc to scream and shout out loud……”We are incredibly proud to officially introduce the all new, all singing, all dancing Ski In Luxury latest version. Arguably the best ski holiday website online.”
When it comes to designing and developing a ski holiday website, I am confident to say that nobody does it quite like we do. We take a vast amount of pride in what we do and how we do it. Fully in-house with involvement from both Fran and I, the owners of the company, and the sales team who give us their valuable feedback on their own personal experience of using the website extensively each and every day at the office. They hear the thoughts and feedback from our clients and in turn record this information so that we can use it to aid our design process.
We spent months researching design ideas, functionality options and analysing the user journey through the website to ensure ease of navigation and easy access to the key information that our clients wish to find. Our websites are all about creating the perfect user experience alongside of being incredibly SEO friendly. There is a reason that we are ranked in the top organic placements on Google for all of our key search phrases.
Our in-house design team came up with a fresh new design and feel of the website, but we had to ensure that it gave our regular visitors the same feeling and ease of navigation as the past versions of Ski In Luxury. Both Fran and I are personally and very deeply involved in every stage of design and implementation, incredibly picky and painful to work with I have no doubt, but we take to heart the development of our website, always looking at developments that will ensure that we continue to be a step ahead of the competition with a cutting edge ski holiday website.
The reason for this blog is to showcase the latest ski website developments and enhanced functionality that we have introduced to make your (and our) lives so much easier! We hope that you love the finished article!
