Project Overview
Client: Andre Lewis Travel
Industry: Transportation & Travel Services
Project Duration: ~10 weeks (from planning to launch)
Key Features: Vehicle Class Selection, Availability Management, Return Booking Discounts, Booking Form, Responsive Design, SEO Optimisation
The Challenge
Andre Lewis Travel was launching a new chauffeur business with a clear goal:
👉 Position as a high-end, executive transport provider from day one
The business needed more than just a website. It needed a platform that would:
- Allow customers to check availability and book without back-and-forth emails or calls
- Showcase vehicle classes clearly, with room to expand
- Offer a structured pricing model, including return journey discounts
- Work seamlessly across mobile and desktop
- Launch under a dedicated domain: andrelewistravel.com
- Reflect a premium brand image suitable for corporate and high-value clients
At the same time, the website was being used to support a funding application with The King’s Trust and real-world conversations with:
- Healthcare organisations
- Public sector teams
- Luxury travel agencies
- Golf clubs
The challenge was clear:
👉 Build something that delivers trust, automation, and high-end positioning — all at once.
Our Approach
We didn’t treat this as “just a website”. We built it as a sales, booking, and positioning system.
We worked closely with Andre through discovery sessions to understand:
- Target audience (corporate, healthcare, luxury travel)
- Business goals (premium positioning + efficiency)
- Customer expectations (simple booking, clear pricing, trust)
The focus was to remove friction from bookings while reinforcing reliability and professionalism.
Design
- Applied the client’s logo and colour scheme for consistent branding
- Designed a clean, modern layout with strong booking-focused CTAs
- Created structured service sections:
- Airport Transfers
- Business Travel
- Everyday Transport
- Introduced trust-led messaging (punctuality, comfort, professionalism)
👉 The goal: look established and premium from the first click
Development
