Project Description
The Harbour Lights Inn is a 1820s home nestled in the heart of historic Twillingate. Located on the waterfront, guests get to experience a spectacular view of Twillingate Harbour and are within walking distance to most amenities. The Inn also offers boat tours daily to view icebergs and whales for a true outdoor adventure.
The Challenge
The existing website was almost a decade old and wasn‘t very usable on mobile devices. It also wasn‘t built for code-less updates so staff were reliant on a developer. The site was also lacking details and photos of each room, which is very important for an inn. They also needed a way to better link their other two businesses: Twillingate Adventure Tours and Annie‘s Harbour Restaurant.
The Solution
We created a responsive website using WordPress, which showcases the historic property and the unique rooms. We brought in visual elements of painted clapboard photographed directly from the inn. We provided training so that their team can update any element of the site directly. Integration with their existing booking platform meant there was no disruption to the back end of their business.
The Results
With a moble-friendly, modern website, visitors are able to research and book a room wherever they are. With advanced Google Analytics integrated they can now see where their customers are coming from. Visitors love seeing photos of the rooms and especially love the family room.
