Luxury Travel Agency Website Development

Job ID: 40626056

Budget: £250 – £750 GBP

Website Design Brief – Nomad Curated Travel

Project Overview

I am looking for an experienced Squarespace website designer/developer to create a premium, modern website for a new luxury travel consultancy called Nomad Curated Travel.
The website should reflect quality, trust and expertise rather than feel like a typical online travel agency. The emphasis is on inspiring visitors, showcasing exceptional travel experiences and generating customer enquiries.
The website will be built within my own Squarespace account, to which I will provide contributor access.

About the Business

Nomad Curated Travel is an independent travel agent providing bespoke, high-quality travel planning for discerning travellers seeking personalised experiences rather than package holidays.
Our clients value expert knowledge, exceptional service and carefully curated travel experiences. The website should communicate confidence, professionalism and a genuine passion for travel.

Project Objectives

• Create a premium first impression.
• Clearly communicate the brand and its values.
• Build trust and credibility.
• Inspire visitors to make an enquiry.
• Be easy for me to maintain following handover.
• Be fully mobile responsive.
• Be built using SEO best practices.

Project Scope

• Design and build approximately 8–10 pages:
• Home
• About Us
• Why Choose Us
• Destinations
• Travel Experiences
• Travel Inspiration / Blog
• Testimonials
• Contact (with customer contact sheet)
• The successful developer is welcome to recommend improvements to the site structure where appropriate.

Design Style

The overall feel should be elegant, modern, clean, minimalist, premium and inspiring. The design should rely on high-quality imagery, thoughtful typography and generous use of white space to create a luxury feel, (see Audley travel reference of beautiful photography)

The website should be comparable with high-end travel brands rather than mainstream online travel agencies.

To help communicate the desired style and direction, I will provide examples of travel and lifestyle websites that I particularly like. These are intended as inspiration only and not to be copied. I welcome creative input and fresh ideas from the successful developer.

Functionality

• Fully responsive design
• Contact / enquiry forms
• Google Maps integration
• Social media links
• Newsletter sign-up capability
• SEO best practice
• Google Analytics 4 setup
• Google Search Console setup
• Cookie consent
• SSL security
• Fast loading pages

Content

• I will provide company information, logo and branding, brand colours, website copy (where available) and reference websites that reflect the style and user experience I am looking for.
• I welcome guidance on page layout, user experience, imagery and presentation where appropriate.

Handover

• Full ownership of the website
• Website created within my own Squarespace account
• An easy-to-manage site that requires no coding knowledge
• A short handover session or recorded walkthrough explaining how to update content
• No ongoing dependency on the developer

Please Include With Your Proposal

• Examples of premium websites you have designed
• Examples of Squarespace websites you have developed
• Estimated project timescale
• Fixed price quotation
• Your recommended Squarespace template (if applicable)
• Any suggestions you believe would improve this project

Important

I am looking for quality, creativity and experience rather than simply the lowest price.
Please begin your proposal by explaining, in no more than 150 words, how you would approach this project and why you believe Squarespace is the right platform.
Generic or AI-generated proposals that do not address the specific requirements of this brief are unlikely to be considered.

Additional information

The successful candidate may also be involved in developing the company logo and branding dependent on creative experience.

Please also note I will require another website build for another business I am involved in using IONOS web builder. This will be briefed to the successful contractor at a later date.
