Guia de Isora is a municipality in the Spanish Islands of Tenerife. The tropical paradise asked Travel Productions to help them design the Visit Guia de Isora website with a self-explanatory name.

As soon as you ‘land,’ you get to see a high-resolution video portraying the best of the municipalities’ tropical lifestyle. The majestic nature ranges from dense forests to crystal clear seaside. The video also contains shots of the wide range of activities you can enjoy there, like cycling, scuba diving, sightseeing, and much more.
The website design addressed the common problem of planning remote getaways: the language barrier. The option to switch between three languages never leaves your sight – it remains easily accessible in the top left corner.

6. Hotel BEAUSiTE Zermatt by Positioner
Standout features:
- Beautiful visuals
- Intro showreel
- Witty messaging
The BEAUSiTE Zermatt opened its doors back in 1907, during Switzerland’s golden age of alpinism. Exuding grandeur and luxury from its perch just above the city and offers one of the best views of the world-famous Matterhorn. A century-old history of peak opulence required a transformation that would lift it up in the eyes of both guests and employees.
And what better way to do that, than a new website? This is where the aptly named Positioner plunged its metaphorical ice axe.
Besides the general outlook, the agency became acutely aware that the hotel needed to address different consumer targets, strengthen its connection to Zermatt and Matterhorn, create a more contemporary image, and attract better talent, all while improving its brand awareness and value over time.
The resulting website offers a fresh approach to alpinism by concentrating on the leisure alpinist - the one inspired by adventure in all its forms. It showcases a contemporary peek into the lives of real people who dare, it's an adventure embodied — all shot in the style of “a Wes Anderson adventure in the Alps”.
With beautiful visuals and dry humor messaging full of British wit the website aims to transform online visitors and inspire them to take a slide down the conversion funnel before they ascend and become part of this new golden age of alpinism.
7. Olympus Villas by Point Blank
Standout features:
- Smooth transitions
- Intricate illustrations
- Well-balanced layout
Located in south Pieria, at the foot of its divine namesake lies the luxury Olympus Villas complex. Each villa is located by the beach, offering a private pool, combining the intrinsically Greek palette - blue colors of the sky and sea with marble whites and the natural greens of the private garden and surrounding ambiance.
Inspired by this sight, Point Blank redesigned and developed the brand's website, aiming to establish a web presence comparable to the quality experience offered to their guests.
In the tourism industry, images are dominant, hence the combination of professional photography and video, produced especially for the needs of the website and ample negative space.
The navigation is smooth and intuitive. Each subsection is color-coded and accompanied by a characteristic animated illustration (designed by Giannis Orkopoulos), revealed in the navigation menu.
