Project Overview

The client hired us to revamp their old landing page and create a new, more engaging one. The goal is for people coming from search engines or social media to see this site as an authoritative source of information on current travel and credit card points.

The site aims to generate revenue from partner referrals by helping users find travel deals and credit card offers.

Discovery

During our workshops, we focused on clarifying the product vision and identifying problems to solve. We collaborated to identify gaps or issues in current solutions that could be addressed by new technology or modern design. We then envision solutions that would meet those needs while paying attention to user experience and industry standards to create a content site that is valuable and enjoyable!

The Problem

The Points Party travel software system needed to be integrated with their new site to allow for bookings on the web. Integrating their existing software required collaborating globally across design, development, and marketing teams for a world-class experience that delivered the project quickly and accurately.

The Solution

We selected a new headless CMS system from Strapi for its flexibility and extensibility over a traditional solution like WordPress. Integrating the Strapi CMS with their travel software enabled powerful features like online bookings, memberships, gated content, and Discord integration. The new CMS also automated email notifications and integrated their Martech stack!

Project Execution

We partnered with The Points Party for three months to redesign their branding, develop their CMS-powered website, integrate their systems, and finish technical SEO.

"Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS. It’s 100% JavaScript, fully customizable and developer-first."
