Elegant Escapes UAE
Boutique luxury travel for the discerning UAE traveler.
The Brief
The challenge
Elegant Escapes UAE is a boutique luxury travel agency in Dubai. Their old site was a generic travel template with stock photography and no clear differentiation from competitors.
Their value proposition — bespoke, white-glove travel planning for high-net-worth UAE travelers — was completely lost. Lead volume was low and quality was lower.
We rebuilt the site as a cinematic showcase of their work: real client trips, real destinations, real photography. The site does the convincing so their team only talks to qualified prospects.
The Solution
How we built it
Design
Cinematic photography-first design. Generous typography. Subtle motion — never gimmicky. Custom inquiry form that feels like a concierge conversation, not a contact form.
Engineering
Next.js with Cloudinary for image optimization (their photography is the product). Custom inquiry form pipes leads to WhatsApp Business AND email simultaneously. Calendly-style availability check for initial consultations.
Launch
Launched with a content backlog of 40+ real trip case studies. Search traffic doubled in 90 days. Inquiry quality improved noticeably — prospects mention specific trips they saw on the site during sales calls.
