The Challenge

  • Outdated design and poor mobile experience affected conversions.
  • The booking flow relied on a slow embedded iframe.

  • The multilingual setup was limited and did not cover the full website.

  • Replatformed the website using Next.js for fast performance.
  • Implemented Strapi headless CMS for flexible content management.
  • Integrated HQRentals API to build a seamless custom reservation flow.
  • Designed a modern, mobile-first UI aligned with the Ondas brand.
  • Built a scalable, multilingual architecture for future expansion.
