Euroventure is an exciting travel company that specialises in interrailing trips – they’re passionate about seeing the world and we wanted to reflect this in their brand new travel website. From an intelligent but functional trip search to detailed destination guides, we’ve jam packed this new site with impressive UI and UX-focused features.

The homepage has got to make an impact if you’re gonna stick around.
Well, we think we achieved just that with Euroventure. From the very first time you lay eyes on the homepage, you’re greeted by a gorgeous full-width image and capturing tagline. You can begin to find your dream trip straight away thanks to our easy-to-use search function.
And for those who want to have a browse? Our hamburger menu on the right is your portal to everything Euroventure.
As you scroll down the homepage, you’ll be greeted by fancy page blocks with smooth transitions. From trip recommendations to popular destinations, you’ll be immersed in a world solely dedicated to interrailing and making your travel dreams come true. The interactive map is a highlight – move your mouse over the illustration of Europe to see a snapshot of each country with clickable links for more information.

A feature where anyone can design their very own trip from start to finish.
There’s a whole range of set trips offered by Euroventure, from the Balkan Trail to the Swiss Explorer. But not everyone wants to follow a set path. This is where the custom trip builder comes in. It allows the user to customise their very own interrailing journey, with sensible recommendations from a clever algorithm.
1. Once the user has clicked on the page, they’re greeted with an explanation as to how it works.
2. All they have to do next is fill in a short and simple form to get the ball rolling. The information they fill in here will inform the outcome of their trip, for example where they’ll be starting from and how many people they’re travelling with.
3. So the form has been filled in and the user is taken to the next step of the trip builder. They’ll be given recommendations based on their starting location, but they’re free to choose their own.
4. The Google-powered map to the right shows a real-time route being created as the user clicks on their destinations.

We’ve built an extremely functional and fuss-free booking system which allows users to get an instant quote and then book straightaway. Users can adjust their trip based on travellers, start date and accommodation type. The page won’t do that annoying full-reload thing every time you change an option and that’s because we use Ajax!
This development technique loads parts of the page instead of loading the whole thing all over again. Once you’ve got your quote, you’ll be sent an email and be prompted to book using the quoted price.

We’ve used Stripe for payment transactions and integrated Euroventure with Zoho for CRM. These products make the entire process for both the business and customers super smooth and easily managed. We also integrated with Reviews.co.uk to allow visitors to the site to get real, trustworthy customer experiences of each individual trip.

Euroventure wants people to feel excited about interrailing and travel, so we ensured this was reflected in the images and transitions we chose. From idyllic scenes of European towns to inspiring photography of the travel process, selecting the images was no last-minute job.
As for the animations, we wanted the focus to be on the photography, so a zoom hover effect on page blocks was the perfect solution. Upon selecting the menu, we decided to use the brand colours for the most impactful transition.
If you’ve not been hiding under a rock for the past five years or so, you’ll know that responsiveness has to be a core value when building websites. If it doesn’t work on mobile we don’t want to know! Luckily for Euroventure, their lovely new site is just as lovely across all devices from Macbook to Samsung Galaxy (and everything in between).
What a relief
