Our approach

How we approach this type of project

Tourism buyers -- particularly international visitors researching a Costa Rica trip -- make decisions fast and with limited local knowledge. They are looking for three signals in the first 20 seconds of landing on a site: does this look real and established, does it show me what I am actually getting, and is there a clear way to ask a question or book without committing to something I don't understand yet. Most hospitality sites in Costa Rica fail at least two of those three. We build tourism sites that front-load the product: room photos with dimensions and amenities, tour descriptions with duration, difficulty, and inclusions, package pricing with clear what-is-included breakdowns. The inquiry form captures trip dates, group size, and interest type so the response can be immediate and specific. We use Next.js Image component with lazy loading so photo-heavy pages load fast on mobile, which is how most international visitors browse. Sites that score above 90 on Core Web Vitals consistently outperform slower competitors on Google's travel-related search terms.

Case studies

Relevant work

Tourism / Outdoor Activities

Arenal Adventure Tours

Three-page site with no tour detail pages, no pricing transparency, and an email link as the only contact method. International visitors could not find enough information to decide before bouncing.

Rebuilt with individual pages per tour, embedded FAQ per activity, a group inquiry form with date picker and group size, and clear pricing ranges. Bounce rate dropped 35% and inquiry volume tripled in the first 60 days.

3x inquiries in 60 days

FAQ

Questions about this service

Do you integrate with booking platforms like Expedia, Booking.com, or direct booking tools?

We can embed or link to existing booking tools. For direct booking system integration, we need to review the platform's API. For properties that want to take inquiries first, we build a request form that captures everything needed to send a quote.

How do you handle multilingual content for international visitors?

We build with English as the primary language for international tourists, with Spanish as a secondary language for local buyers. Proper hreflang tags ensure Google shows each version to the right audience.

Our photos are high-resolution -- will that slow down the site?

No, if handled correctly. We use Next.js Image with automatic format conversion to WebP, responsive sizing, and lazy loading. A gallery-heavy tourism page loads in under 2 seconds with this setup.

Can you help us write the content for tours, rooms, or packages?

Yes, depending on project scope. We include content direction and structure in all projects. Full copywriting for multiple packages is scoped separately. Many clients provide a brief description and we sharpen the language as part of the build.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with foreign-owned businesses in Costa Rica?

Yes. Foreign-owned businesses are one of our strongest fits, especially when the buyer wants a Costa Rica-based team that can still communicate clearly in English.

Is this only for software?

No. Many projects start with a website, redesign, or a focused lead-generation landing page before they expand into heavier software work.

Can we start with a quote instead of WhatsApp?

Yes. The primary path is the form because it creates a cleaner commercial process and makes follow-up easier by email.
