The Company

Classic Villas – a part of the Nox Group – is a luxury accommodation agency whose property portfolio consists of vacation rental accommodation throughout the Western Cape.

The Challenge

Classic Villas already had a website but they were looking to improve how it looked and how it functioned.

The Solution

We created full resolution designs and feedback from the client was provided via inVision, our preferred platform for design phase reviews. We also custom designed a set of icons that can be seen used throughout the site. A child theme was created from Storefront.

The information on the villas themselves, such as their location, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, etc, is stored on the Nitro API (a Property Management System), and is pulled from there to generate the content, which the client managed themselves, creating each of the accommodation singles.

Accommodation’s can be filtered by categories like size, area and style thanks to FacetWP, we created accommodation “styles” to group certain villas together with descriptions like “Family Fun” and “Romantic Getaway”.

Every accommodation single landing page has its own modal enquiry form and confirmation page. Google Tag Manager was used for managing tracking and conversion tags.

We used Zopim Chat to enable live chat functionality to allow prospective guests to live chat with Classic Villas consultants via an unintrusive messenger feature in the bottom right corner of each page on the site.
