Challenge
Austin Leisure Sightseeing Tours was a new tour company in Austin, TX that came to me in need of a website. They wanted the site to be image heavy and energetic with the ability to purchase tickets directly through the website. They wanted an easy to view approach to the tour stops and routes they offer. The client also requested that the website be integrated with all of the popular travel sites, including: Trip Advisor, Expedia, etc.
Solution
I decided on creating a nice contrast between light backgrounds and colorful bold images of the tour stops and sights around Austin. I placed in a lot of interactivity, such as and interactive map and expanding content to create a sense of movement and to give the end user an active experience. I created a simple easy to read iconography system and incorporated the company’s bold red color to enhance the overall contrast of the site. The ticket purchasing aspect works seamlessly, is attractive and stands out to be easily distinguished.
