The Challenge

Wanderlust Travel was relying on a legacy WordPress site that couldn't keep up with their growth. Page load times exceeded 8 seconds, the booking flow had a 72% abandonment rate, and content editors struggled with a clunky admin interface.

Our Approach

We rebuilt the entire platform using Next.js for lightning-fast page loads and Cosmic CMS for a flexible, editor-friendly content backend. The booking flow was redesigned from scratch based on user research and A/B testing.

The Results

  • Sub-2-second load times across all pages
  • 58% reduction in booking abandonment
  • 3x faster content publishing for the editorial team
  • 200+ destination pages powered by a modular content model
  • Perfect Lighthouse scores for performance and accessibility
