Curious Retreats
Curious Retreats, nestled in the picturesque Suffolk hills, prides itself on offering stunning properties across the East of England. Founders Tim Ripman and Tim Cook, both natives of the area, are dedicated to showcasing Suffolk's best holiday rentals while upholding their commitment to sustainability and exceptional customer service.
Our SuperControl website developers created a bespoke, minimalist site that embodies Curious Retreats' values and aims to drive bookings and growth.
A Clean and Contemporary Website
The new website we developed reflects Curious Retreats' dedication to quality service and a personalised touch. By integrating the SuperControl API, the site ensures a seamless booking experience that enhances conversions.
A Polished, Yet Homely Aesthetic
Adhering to their detailed brand guidelines, we utilised neutral, muted tones complemented by Curious Retreats' signature Cobalt Blue. Background colours transition from off-white to soft beige, adding warmth and depth to each page. Clear and standout call-to-action buttons enhance the browsing experience without detracting from vital text and imagery. A combination of serif and sans-serif typefaces creates engaging titles, highlighting Curious Retreats' unique style. Full-width banners for hero images and videos maximise their visual impact.
Services & Technology
Our team is built on the foundations of deep-rooted experience, transparency, and a collaborative culture of creativity.
Seamless SuperControl Integration and Additional Caching
As recommended SuperControl Web Developers, we integrated the SuperControl API to provide real-time property information, keeping customers updated with the latest property details. Additionally, our custom caching system improves user experience by increasing conversions and speeding up the booking process.
Informative Blog System and Online Chat
With the new blog system we developed, Curious Retreats can offer local insights and helpful tips to enrich customers' holiday experiences. The online chat feature ensures customers can easily access support and advice on any page.
Comprehensive Property Pages
Curious Retreats is dedicated to offering detailed property information. Each property page we designed features sections with dedicated dropdowns, an engaging gallery, a booking calendar, and an integrated map for exploring the local area and amenities. A section on each property's owner adds a personal touch, providing peace of mind and insight. The review section on each property page allows customers to learn from the experiences of like-minded individuals.
Showcasing Curious Retreats
In an era dominated by social media, a strong online presence is crucial. Therefore, we integrated Curious Retreats' Instagram feed at the bottom of each page to grow their audience, increase engagement, and boost dwell time.
Alex, Robyn and the team at gloversure have been a rock since day one. Although knowing and understanding the industry, website development was not a specialist subject! gloversure were just the agency that Curious Retreats needed – expertise, helpful, responsive and quality amongst many traits. We wanted a website that stood out from the crowd and in our opinion; we’ve got this and the rest. Thank you.
