## The business and the work

Discovery World Trekking needed a website that connected the traveller's decision with the operator's booking work. LastDoor's remit includes website and product design, engineering and wider strategy and delivery guidance.

Since the site launched in 2019, travellers have sent more than 5,000 booking requests and enquiries through it.

> Last Door did a fantastic job pulling off a rock-solid and industry-leading travel e-commerce portal.

## Help a traveller choose

Trip information, photographs, navigation and filters give the visitor ways to explore. Relevant trip links and enquiry actions connect that research to a next step.

We added enquiry actions alongside trip and article content. Each enquiry records the page and action it came from, giving the team context for the conversation.

## Connect the booking and the operation

Travellers choose an available date for their private trip and enter their group size. The platform calculates the per-person price and lets them pay in full or make an advance payment.

Departure management and the content system support the team organising those trips.

## A design system for the running site

In September 2026 we started a design system for the site as it runs, comparing each part before and after. The Best Seller badge is one example: its white text on orange measured 2.8:1, below the WCAG AA minimum. We improved the text contrast while keeping the badge orange.

The new design went live on 16 October 2026, after rounds of design feedback with the client on a preview site.

## The wider responsibility

[Bishal](https://bishal.cc/), our product design lead, worked on the user experience and frontend.

LastDoor handles the agreed design and engineering work and helps shape strategy across the website, SEO, content, social and growth. We work with Discovery World Trekking's internal team to set priorities, monitor progress and guide the work where other providers contribute. Responsibilities are agreed for each part of the plan.
