🛳️ Mandovi Cruises — Case Study
Industry: Tourism & Leisure (River Cruise Operator)
Services Provided: Website Redesign, Elementor Development, SEO
Project Type: WordPress Overhaul
Timeline: 3 Weeks
⚠️ The Problem
Mandovi Cruises had an outdated online presence that didn’t reflect the premium experience they offer on the water. Key issues included:
A non-responsive layout that frustrated mobile users
A confusing booking flow leading to drop-offs
Long load times and unpolished design
Low SEO rankings and weak conversion rates
They needed a modern, trust-building site that increased bookings, especially from mobile users.
💡 The Solution
I helped Mandovi Cruises turn their digital presence into a smooth-sailing lead machine:
Fully redesigned the site using Elementor Pro, optimizing for tourism-based visual storytelling
Created a streamlined cruise selection and inquiry form, reducing friction for users
Implemented scroll-based interactions and calming marine-inspired color tones
Optimized for mobile-first responsiveness and added caching for performance
Included call-to-actions across the homepage, schedule, and gallery pages
