    Before & After Concepts

    What changes, and why

    These are the design decisions behind the redesign. Performance figures are not shown here — they are published only once SAAP Corp confirms them from their own analytics after launch.

    Enquiry path

    BeforeVisitors had to read through long pages, then find an email address or a contact form at the bottom to ask about availability.

    AfterA booking flow on the page the visitor is already reading — pick the programme, pick a date, send the request in one screen.

    Page structure

    BeforeInformation-led layout: text blocks first, offer and next step buried below the fold.

    AfterOffer-led layout: what it is, who it's for, price signal and CTA above the fold, detail underneath for the visitors who want it.

    Mobile experience

    BeforeDesktop-first pages that reflowed into long scrolls with small tap targets on phones.

    AfterMobile-first components, sticky enquiry button and forms sized for thumbs — most traffic in this market is mobile.

    Search structure

    BeforeOne or two broad pages covering everything, competing with each other for the same terms.

    AfterA page per programme and per intent, internally linked, with metadata and structured data per page.

    How the project runs

    Four phases from audit to launch. The final phase is where measurement starts — nothing is reported before go-live.

    Phase 1 · Phase 1 of 4

    Audit & discovery

    We reviewed the existing site, the enquiry path and the questions prospects actually ask, then agreed the pages and the single conversion action per page.

    Deliverables
    • Current-site UX and content audit
    • Enquiry-path mapping
    • Page and intent map
    • Baseline analytics setup
    Milestone

    Page map and conversion goals agreed.

    Outcomes

    What we will report

    A baseline is captured before launch, then these four numbers are reported monthly from SAAP Corp's own analytics and booking data.

    Booking enquiries

    Enquiries started and completed through the booking flow each month.

    Enquiry-to-booking rate

    Share of enquiries that convert into a confirmed booking.

    Mobile conversion rate

    Conversion on phones specifically, where most of the traffic sits.

    Organic sessions

    Non-paid sessions landing on programme and offer pages.

    FAQ

    SAAP Corp project FAQ

    Is the SAAP Corp site live?

    Not yet. The redesign and booking system are in development and the public site has not launched. This page documents the scope and the concepts, not launch results.

    Why are there no performance metrics on this page?

    We only publish outcome numbers a client has confirmed from their own analytics or booking exports, with the source and the period. SAAP Corp has not launched, so there is no post-launch data to report yet.

    What is being delivered?

    A full website redesign: a UX/UI design system, mobile-first page templates, a conversion-focused layout and copy structure, an integrated booking flow, and the search structure and metadata to support it.

    How long does a redesign like this take?

    Four phases — audit and discovery, UX/UI design, build and booking integration, then launch and measurement. Typical range for a project of this size is eight to twelve weeks depending on content readiness.

    What will you measure after launch?

    Booking enquiries started and completed, enquiry-to-booking rate, mobile conversion rate, and organic sessions to the programme pages — against the baseline captured before launch.

    Can I get the same build for my own charter or school business?

    Yes. The same design system and booking flow underpin our sailing school and charter booking builds. Start with the project questionnaire and we will map the pages and timeline to your business.
