The Challenge
WanderWise Travel, a boutique agency, had never had a website. They relied on referrals and local ads, but struggled to reach modern travelers, showcase destinations, or compete with online booking giants.
- No digital presence or destination galleries
- Potential clients couldn’t find or contact them online
- No way to accept online trip inquiries or bookings
- Difficulty building trust with new travelers
