A Launch That Couldn't Slip

Two years with another agency and still no finished site, with campaigns already booked. I built a new one from scratch and had it live in time, with booking, checkout, and an affiliate program ready to go.

The Challenge

A launch deadline nobody else could hit

Hotspot Travels had spent over two years with another agency and still had no finished site, while influencers were already lined up to promote the launch. Fixing that half-built site would have been slow and messy, so I built a brand-new one from scratch and got it live in time, with booking, checkout and an affiliate program ready on day one.

The Approach

Build fast, without cutting the corners that matter

1

Design to their brief

Built to the look and feel they wanted, so the brand landed right for the influencer push.

2

Booking + affiliate, day one

Checkout, booking flow and an affiliate program set up and live for launch, not bolted on later.

3

Belonging then booking

Social proof, safety and inclusion signals up front, with the next step always one tap away.

Results & Impact

Live in time, and converting from day one
