A true oasis of peace...

Villa No.18

What we did

  • Website redesign (Wix)

  • Booking app integration for direct reservations

Brief

Villa No.18 is a luxurious vacation home owned by the Poljak family, known for their illustrious sports careers, particularly in volleyball. The villa is a tribute to their legacy, with its name inspired by the daughter Maja’s volleyball jersey number, 18. The family wanted a new website to tell their story and offer direct bookings through an integrated app, helping them avoid external booking platforms and engage with guests directly.

Approach

Our approach was to create a visually appealing, easy-to-navigate website that reflects the villa’s unique charm and the Poljak family’s sporting history. The key focus was integrating a booking app to enable direct reservations, providing guests with a seamless experience while giving the owners control over their bookings.

Disovery & Design

Understanding the Villa’s Unique Story
In the discovery phase, we worked closely with the Poljak family to understand the legacy they wanted to share with guests. Villa No.18’s connection to their sports career was central to the story, and we sought to balance this history with the villa’s luxury and charm. We researched the Istrian region, where the villa is located, to ensure the website also conveyed the tranquility and beauty of the area, making it an appealing destination for potential guests.

Designing a Clean and Elegant Interface
The design needed to be modern yet reflective of the villa’s unique history. We chose a clean, minimalist design with rich visuals that showcased both the villa’s amenities and the beautiful surroundings of Istria. High-quality images of the property, combined with subtle sports-themed elements, were used to create an inviting, user-friendly interface that would appeal to luxury travelers.

Focusing on User Experience
We prioritized intuitive navigation, ensuring that users could easily find information about the villa, its features, and local attractions. The homepage was designed to be visually striking, while additional pages provided detailed content about the villa’s history and booking information. Every design element was crafted to encourage visitors to explore the site and ultimately make a reservation.

Development

Building the Wix Website
The website was built on the Wix platform to ensure flexibility and ease of maintenance. We structured the site to allow for smooth navigation across both desktop and mobile, optimizing it for potential guests who might explore the villa on the go. The homepage featured key visuals and content that highlighted the villa’s appeal, with clear calls-to-action guiding users to make a booking.

Integrating the Booking App
The most critical part of the development was integrating a booking app that allowed the Poljak family to manage direct reservations. We ensured the app was seamlessly integrated into the website, providing a streamlined booking process for guests. This gave the family full control over their booking system, helping them avoid reliance on third-party platforms and associated fees.

Ensuring Smooth User Experience
Although the website was not designed to be responsive across all devices, it was optimized for both desktop and mobile, ensuring a smooth user experience for all visitors. The booking process was made intuitive, and the overall design encouraged engagement and conversion. We focused on making the user experience simple, guiding visitors effortlessly from exploring the villa to making a reservation.

 

Conclusion

The new website for Villa No.18 successfully captures the essence of the Poljak family’s sporting legacy while highlighting the villa’s luxurious appeal. With the integration of a booking app, the family can now take direct bookings, offering guests a seamless experience while maintaining control over reservations.
