The Brief
Here Goes Kenya is a travel and tourism brand built to inspire exploration — connecting travelers to Kenya’s wild beauty, local culture, and unforgettable adventures.
The challenge? Create a responsive, dynamic website that looks stunning and works seamlessly as a travel directory, booking platform, and storytelling hub.
The Task
Design and develop a modern travel website powered by a dynamic framework inspired by the Voxel Theme.
The platform needed to:
- Adapt beautifully across all devices and screen sizes.
- Showcase tours, destinations, and experiences with custom post types.
- Offer advanced filters, map-based search, and real-time results.
- Support user profiles, front-end submissions, reviews, and secure bookings.
- Include a custom dashboard where users can track and analyze their listing performance, including views, bookings, and engagement metrics.
- Integrate payment systems, membership plans, and SEO optimization for visibility and growth.
- Include an automatic Google Translate feature to make the platform accessible to global audiences.
- Enable automated emails and notifications for key events such as new bookings, messages, review submissions, and tour approvals.
The Process
We began with strategy: mapping the user journey and defining how tours, destinations, and user roles interact.
Using WordPress, Voxel’s dynamic framework, and Elementor, we built an intuitive interface that feels immersive yet effortless to use.
Key stages included:
- Creating custom taxonomies and dynamic templates for Destinations, Tours, and Activities.
- Designing wireframes and high-fidelity mockups for all key pages and dashboard views.
- Developing faceted search, smart filtering, and geolocation-based discovery.
- Building a user dashboard with real-time analytics and visual performance insights.
- Integrating a secure booking system, Stripe payments, and membership features.
- Conducting performance, usability, and mobile testing to ensure a smooth launch.
The Outcome
The result is a vibrant, data-driven travel platform that captures the energy of Kenya — bold, adventurous, and intuitive.
Users can explore tours through dynamic maps and filters, manage their listings via personalized dashboards, and monitor engagement insights with built-in analytics.
Optimized for speed, SEO, and scalability, the new Here Goes Kenya website positions the brand as a digital leader in Kenya’s evolving travel landscape.
