Introduction
Wishwood Resort, nestled in the picturesque mountains, was a popular getaway for travelers seeking a luxurious, eco-friendly experience. However, their outdated website was not reflecting their brand values and couldn’t keep up with the modern needs of their digitally-savvy clientele. The resort partnered with Ox Bow Creations, a leading web design agency, to create a new website that would not only showcase their unique offerings but also improve their online bookings.
