GSAP Page Loading Animation.
A bespoke loader to immediately immerse website visitors in the beauty of Islay. If standing out from the competition is your kinda thing, then we highly recommend you have a lil' looksie.
2
AJAX Page Transitions.
Instead of relying on the browser default hard reload to move between pages, we decided to utilise AJAX to create a fluid transition. As you move from page to page, you'll notice the subtle fade out, fade in approach we went for. Seamless, right?
3
Booking System Integration.
To save you the hassle of having to leave the site to make a reservation, we've neatly integrated the SuperControl booking calendar for each let into its respective page. We've even colour-coded it and everything!
4
API Integration.
For an all singin', all dancin' weather widget, we couldn't just use a plugin. Oh no. We instead opted to work with the OpenWeather API to allow us to populate our own custom markup with the relevant data.
5
Custom Widget Development.
On larger screens, in the bottom-right corner, you'll see our custom weather widget. We've coded this to auto-update and display accurate, relevant weather data to website visitors. Nobody wants to go to the beach when the weather sucks. Do they!?
6
Two-Tier Mobile Menu.
A sleek, minimal and functional mobile menu with primary and secondary navs, a sub menu specifically for accommodation, and of course a tailored version of our weather widget as well.
7
Accommodation CPT.
Rather than add each let as another page, we decided to separate these out into their own post type. This keeps things logical for visitors on the front-end, and neat and tidy for our client in the back-end.
