Overview

In the bustling world of wellness tourism, Senses Sri Lanka stands out as a calm and tranquil yoga retreat in Midigama, Sri Lanka. However, their online presence didn’t reflect the calm and transformative experiences they offer. So they approached our team to redesign their website, aiming to create a digital space that mirrors the serenity of their physical retreat.

Project Objectives

– To improve the existing website design

Senses’ original website lacked the visual serenity and user-friendliness that their retreat embodies. They needed a redesign that would visually transport visitors to the tranquil spaces of their eco-resort.

– To promote the events on the website

With many events and practices offered weekly, from yoga sessions to kirtan, Senses wanted an intuitive way to showcase and promote these events, making it easier for guests to discover and engage with their diverse offerings.

– To show the trainings available

Beyond daily practices, Senses offers transformative teacher training programs. They needed a dedicated space on the website to highlight these programs, their curricula, and upcoming dates.

– To make the reservation system more accessible

Senses wanted to make it easier for users to place reservations via the website itself and to make it more accessible while increasing leads to the booking system.

– A calm and serene yoga retreat web experience

Overall, Senses wanted their website to be more than informative; it needed to offer a peaceful, inspiring user experience that aligns with the ethos of a yoga retreat.

Our Solution

To meet these objectives, we crafted a bespoke WordPress website that serves as a digital embodiment of Senses’ tranquil ethos:

– Serene Design Language

By utilizing a colour palette inspired by the natural surroundings (olive greens, earthy browns) along with high-quality images of yoga sessions, and activities, we created an immersive experience augmented by smooth animations and transitions to create movement.

– Content-First Approach

We emphasized textual content over images; and crafted engaging, SEO-friendly descriptions for offerings, events, and retreats. We let content take centre stage with a soothing typeface for readability where images complement the text, improving the user experience and search visibility.

– Seamless Experience

We made the sections easily navigable and engaging by striking the right balance between user experience and the user interface. By prioritizing the website content flow, we made it easier for users to place reservations and reach out to Senses.

In the fast-paced world of wellness tourism, Senses now offers a sense of digital peace, a true reflection of their mission to provide sanctuary for the soul, both online and amidst the scenic view of Midigama, Sri Lanka.
