Through user-experience research and technical improvements, it’s now easier than ever to build your perfect trip with Rickshaw Travel UK.
Trusted digital partners
We work as an extension to the Rickshaw team, adding trusted technical expertise to their digital team.
Improved SEO and content marketing
The technical changes have empowered the Rickshaw team to implement a more sophisticated SEO and content strategy.
What we did
1. Building a more flexible blog
To support Rickshaw’s content and SEO strategy, we implemented a complete front-end redesign and back-end overhaul of the blog to make it much easier to upload more interesting and varied content.
The result? More interesting and flexible blog posts, more members of the team can work on the blog and most importantly they have the flexibility to implement their content and SEO strategy.
2. Redesigning product pages for conversions
As part of a drive to increase conversions we re-designed the product pages based on recommendations from a UX report.
We added an image gallery, brought more content above the fold, changed the format of key information that was being lost behind a tab layout and made the call to actions much more prominent.
The result? Really engaging product pages that showcase the best features of Rickshaw’s holidays and make the important information easy to find.
3. Interactive map to help travellers build a unique trip
Rickshaw offers flexible bite-sized trips to tailor-make holidays. They want to make the whole process feel effortless for their customers.
Through our user research, we discovered that customers found it difficult to understand where the bite-sized trips were located in a destination and whether it was feasible to add different trips to a realistic itinerary.
To address this, we rebuilt the bite-sized trips pages to include an interactive map. Now when you scroll down the page and hover over different trips, a pin will animate on the country map. Also, when you explore the pins on the map, further information will scroll into view on the left panel.
The result? After the interactive maps went live, Rickshaw’s customer surveys no longer reported difficulties in building an itinerary on the website.
