The Challenge
Ski.com sought a complete revamp of their legacy website, aiming to modernise the design and create a fast, SEO-optimised platform that reflected their premium brand. They also needed a solution that would seamlessly integrate with their Expedia booking engine, allowing users to book ski holidays effortlessly.
The Solutions
To meet these objectives, we embraced the JAMstack methodology, utilising Next.js for its fast, SEO-friendly capabilities. Prismic CMS was selected to provide a flexible, content-driven platform, empowering Ski.com’s marketing team with a customisable and user-friendly management system. We further enriched the design with Tailwind CSS and GSAP animations, creating a visually engaging, responsive website that performs smoothly across all devices. Additionally, the integration of Ski.com’s Expedia booking engine was streamlined, ensuring a seamless and efficient user journey from browsing to booking.
