THE CHALLENGE

The existing website needed a clearer, more accessible and responsive experience — one that helps visitors understand the accommodation and navigate the information with less effort. A quick audit surfaced four recurring issues: low, inconsistent contrast; a weak typographic hierarchy that made information hard to scan; navigation that could be simpler; and an inconsistent experience across devices.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES
  1. Accessibility first — designed around WCAG 2.1 AA.
  2. Clear hierarchy — make the important information stand out immediately.
  3. Better readability — improve typography, sizes, contrast and spacing.
  4. Simpler navigation — reduce friction and make sections easy to reach.
  5. Responsive by design — a coherent experience on desktop and mobile.
ACCESSIBILITY · WCAG 2.1 AA

Accessibility was the backbone of the redesign, not an afterthought. I reviewed contrast, text sizes, structure, navigation and interactive elements against WCAG 2.1 AA.

VISUAL DIRECTION & RESPONSIVE

The redesign moves toward a cleaner aesthetic with stronger contrast, better readability and a clearer hierarchy — content that's easy to scan, with a central brand, a visible booking CTA and clearly separated content blocks. It was adapted across screen sizes to preserve hierarchy, readability and usability, rather than simply scaling the desktop layout down.

OUTCOME

A warmer, more usable and accessible experience: improved contrast and legibility, a clearer content structure, simpler navigation, and a layout that adapts properly across devices.

LEARNINGS

This project taught me to treat accessibility as a design driver from the start, not a checklist at the end — decisions about contrast, type and hierarchy shape the whole experience, and designing responsively means rethinking the layout, not shrinking it.
