Our custom built interactive island tours became the focal point of each of the websites. The user has the option to zoom in on an aerial view of the island, which displays the various properties available and highlights the features of the island. We made extensive use of sophisticated animation to further distinguish the website. The user can then click on a villa or the hotel, which leads them to the respective accommodation pages.
To further enhance the effect of the stunning images, we built the website to perfectly fit the height of an HD screen, and thus maximized the size of the images. To accommodate smaller screens, the website scales down to fit any screen size. We also built it in a way that ensures the user only ever waits for the first image to load, which kept the website fast, despite the use of large images. Then we included a fullscreen function so users on smaller screens could also enjoy the full effect of the large images.
For the Getting There page, we built another interactive map, and added an animated aeroplane that flies the route to the island to add an element of fun to the site.
To compensate for the poor performance of flash with the search engines and to improve their SEO, we built them a custom blog. This enabled them to build unique content and engage with their guests, and to post interesting story and photos about the day to day happenings on the island.
