Web Design
Your Destination is Breathtaking. Your Website Should Be, Too.
We build powerful, visually stunning websites for resorts, destinations, and visitor bureaus that turn lookers into bookers and drive year-round tourism.
In the travel and tourism industry, your website isn't just a brochure—it's your virtual front door. It's the first experience a potential guest has with your destination. It needs to capture the thrill of your ski slopes, the serenity of your beaches, and the vibrant energy of your city. If your website isn't inspiring action, you're losing revenue and falling behind competitors.
At nxtConcepts, we don't just build websites; we create digital experiences that sell the dream of your destination. With proven experience, including extensive work within the ski industry, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities of marketing a location. We know how to translate breathtaking views and unforgettable experiences into direct bookings and measurable growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about Web Design and Development
A new website is a significant investment in your most important marketing and revenue-generating asset. The cost can vary widely based on several factors, including:
-
The complexity of the design.
-
The number of unique page templates required (e.g., for lodging, activities, dining, events).
-
The need for custom features like interactive maps, event calendars, or dynamic condition reporting.

The level of integration with third-party booking engines and other systems.
Following our initial discovery process, we provide a detailed proposal outlining all costs, so you have complete clarity and there are no surprises down the road.
This is one of our core specialties and a key reason clients choose to work with us. We have extensive experience integrating with the leading ticket and booking engines, eCommerce systems, and activity reservation platforms used throughout the ski, travel and tourism industry.
Our process involves working directly with your ticketing or booking engine's technical team to ensure a seamless, reliable, and secure connection. The goal is to create a frictionless booking experience for your guests that feels like a natural part of your website, not a clunky hand-off to another system.
Because we build destination websites that are not just beautiful, but are also powerful marketing engines.
A general design firm can build you a visually appealing website. We build a website with a deep, intrinsic understanding of your business goals—whether it's selling lift tickets, increasing "heads in beds," driving event registrations, or supporting partner businesses. Our expertise in tourism marketing, ticket and booking engine integration, and conversion rate optimization means your site is designed from the ground up to grow your business.
A custom destination website is a collaborative and detailed project. Depending on the complexity and scope, a typical project takes between 3 to 6 months from our initial strategy session to the final launch. Our phased approach includes Discovery & Strategy, User Experience (UX) & Design, Development & Integration, Content Population, and thorough Testing & Quality Assurance before launch.
Content is a collaborative effort. While you are the ultimate expert on your destination, you won't be on your own. Our team includes content strategists and copywriters who can help you plan, write, edit, and optimize all the text for the new site to ensure it's engaging and SEO-friendly. We provide a structured process for gathering content and photos to make it as easy as possible for your team. Should you need new visuals, we also offer professional photography and video marketing services.
We follow a "mobile-first" design philosophy. In today's travel market, this is non-negotiable. This means we design the experience for the smallest screen first and then scale the design up for tablets and desktops.
This approach ensures the mobile site is not a compromised, stripped-down version of the desktop site. Instead, it is a fast, intuitive, and conversion-focused experience designed specifically for a traveler who is on the go. This is critical, as a majority of travel research and a growing number of bookings happen on a mobile device.
A website launch is a beginning, not an end. We are committed to your long-term success. All of our website projects include:
-
Full training for your team on how to manage and update your new site.
-
A 30-day post-launch warranty period to address any bugs or technical issues.
-
The option to transition into one of our ongoing "Digital Concierge" Website Support & Security plans. These plans provide peace of mind with proactive maintenance, security monitoring, and responsive help for content updates, ensuring your investment remains secure, fast, and effective for years to come.
