Stein Travel

The Brief

Award-winning Stein Travel are one of Irelands most popular travel agencies. Offering travel and tickets to a variety of events from Andre Rieu concerts to the Rugby 6 Nations tournament. However, as successful as their business was, their websites were becoming rapidly outdated and needed a refresh.

Stein Travel looked for our assistance in creating a brand-new bespoke website to bring a fresh look to their business, along with a content management system and online booking tool to aid them in selling their events online as they look to expand their operations from a quote-only model.

They also wanted to take this opportunity to refresh their sister brand Slatterys Travel with the same setup, but under an altered theme using new fonts and colours for the website to match the brands alternate, more-luxury, style.

We really connected with their idea and were eager to take this project on.

The Solution

Making websites comes second nature to us. We wanted to revitalise their website with inclusions of vibrant colour and an updated font to tie together the friendly, modern vibe we aimed to give their new site. The inclusion of multiple custom-post types within their CMS would help manage multiple categories of events, promoting an easier browsing experience as customers would search for their next trip.

To help transition their booking model from quote-only to online, we planned to include our standard Travelflow booking engine to their site, allowing them to take online bookings from the get-go.

In addition to this, we took on this project whilst in the process of building our Travelflow successor product. We felt this was the perfect opportunity to give Stein Travel their own instance of our new Travelflow product to help build a scalable foundation for the future of Travelflow within their business.

To tie the project together would require the use of a custom WordPress plugin, developed by us, that would enable them to display their Events content, loaded in our own Travelflow Contracts product, within their website.

The Result

The resulting website featured a striking modern design, with a friendly typeface, bringing fresh energy to the Stein Travel brand. A clear visual improvement from its predecessor.

Their events were organised and displayed in a brand-new system, using a combination of WordPress custom post types and our own Travelflow Contracts plugin, wrapped in a clean, comprehensible design, improving upon the previous setup, reducing confusion to find the information keen bookers would be after.

We brought online booking to the forefront with the inclusion of our Travelflow booking engine front-and-centre. Customers can immediately begin booking their next flight, hotel, or package holiday directly from the website.

On top of this, we included the first version of our new Travelflow successor to take online bookings in a brand new built from the ground up product, built with modern technologies, web standards, powered by our new travel API. This would promote a key foundation for transitioning Stein Travel to using our new Travelflow product for the rest of their online booking set up.

Stein were more than happy to receive the first version of “Travelflow 2”, committing their future to the development of our new product, as they adopt new technologies and processes to power their online booking system.

On top of this, they were thrilled with the vibrant redesign as it brough new life to their agency, as they looked to grow both Stein Travel and Slatterys Travel through 2025 and beyond.

This was a project we were equally proud of to create and deliver for Stein Travel and the results speak for themselves.
