Us Brits love our skiing trips. According to market research from LHM, 1.5 million UK residents go on at least one skiing holiday each winter, and more than a quarter of those people hit the slopes twice a year or more.
So as you can imagine, there's a lot of money to be made in the ski holiday niche...if you're able to give snowsports enthusiasts what they're looking for.
Is your ski holiday website up to snuff?
With more than 80% of holidaymakers now booking their trips online, travel agents (and other suppliers) are under more pressure than ever to polish up their websites and deliver a smooth, stress-free browsing experience.
In order to compete with all the other skiing agencies on the Internet, you'll need to make sure that your website ticks all of the following boxes:
- Secure
- Quick to load
- Easy to use
- Mobile friendly
- Up to date
- Clear and informative
If any of the above adjectives don't apply to your skiing site, you're likely failing to meet the expectations of users and search engines - in which case it may well be time for a new website!
Designer Websites can help!
Once you've identified the problems with your existing ski website, the next step is finding a web design specialist with the skills and expertise to help you turn things around.
At Designer Websites, we've developed a number of high-quality websites for ski agents and other travel companies. Here are just a couple of examples...
Slide Candy
Slide Candy is a ski equipment rental service that caters to Méribel and La Tania, two popular resorts in France.
The Designer Websites team gave Slide Candy's website a complete makeover. Not only does the new site boast a sleek mobile-friendly design, it also has an improved user journey that makes it far easier for skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts to book their equipment online.
We also developed a bespoke content management system (CMS) to assist the Slide Candy team with back-end website management. They now have a far greater degree of control over the website's content.
"We are so pleased we chose Designer Websites to overhaul our site." - Andrew Buckingham, Slide Candy

Travel Booker
Travel Booker own a number of websites that sell lift passes, skiing lessons, and other extras to people who are planning to go skiing in Andorra.
We were asked to deliver a complex solution that would allow the Travel Booker team to manage all of their sites from a single administration portal.
Our expert web developers created a secure booking system that is easy for customers to navigate (regardless of what device they're using), as well as a user-friendly admin console that meets all of the requirements Travel Booker outlined in their project brief.
"Designer Websites delivered our complex project on budget and on time. We would happily choose to work with them again." - Steve Hull, Travel Booker

Ski for Agents
The folks at Travel Booker were so impressed with our work on their booking system (see above) that they recently asked us to assist with another project.
Ski for Agents is a website that allows travel agents to log in and book ski holiday extras on behalf of their customers. Agents can register multi-level accounts with different levels of access for the head office, branches, etc. Meanwhile, Travel Booker themselves have complete control over virtually aspect of the site thanks to a complex CMS that we built specifically for them.
This was a very demanding project that called for a lot of unique, custom-made functionalities, but as ever, Designer Websites were more than equal to the challenge. Once again, the Travel Booker team were over the moon with the bespoke solution we were able to deliver.
