The Client
Ocean Premium specializes in luxury water toy rentals for yachts, providing high-end recreational equipment to the marine leisure industry. With seasonal demand peaks, their website needs to perform flawlessly during critical booking periods.
The Challenge
Ocean Premium's existing website was hindering their business growth:
Extremely slow loading times of 5-8 seconds causing visitor dropoffs
Elementor-based architecture reaching its functional limits and becoming difficult to maintain
Inefficient plugin architecture creating resource-heavy website performance
High hosting costs due to server requirements for basic functionality
Poor user experience affecting conversion rates during peak season
Our WordPress Development Strategy
With the summer season approaching, we had a tight 3-month timeline to deliver a complete solution. Our approach focused on both technical performance and user experience optimization.
UX Research & Design Process
Our designer conducted a comprehensive analysis of Ocean Premium's existing website, identifying critical pain points in the user journey. Through multiple client sessions, we determined what mattered most to their luxury clientele and yacht owners.
The research revealed that users needed:
Quick access to product availability and specifications
Streamlined booking process for seasonal rentals
Clear visual presentation of high-end water toys
Easy navigation between product categories
Based on these insights, we redesigned the entire user interface to prioritize conversion paths and reduce friction in the booking process. The new design emphasizes visual appeal while maintaining functionality essential for the luxury marine market.
Technical Migration & Development
We completely rebuilt the website using our custom WordPress framework, starting with the comprehensive UI/UX redesign. The biggest challenge was seamlessly integrating Ocean Premium's existing booking platform while maintaining all availability and product catalog functionality during the transition.
