Holiday Homes in Dorset

Holiday Home Dreams Made Into Reality!

Developing a luxury lodges and holiday caravans for sale website – so customers can own their own “little bit of Dorset”.

Background to the business

West Dorset Leisure Holidays (WDLH) is a family run group of five holiday parks on the beautiful Dorset coast, who have been providing holidays for nearly 50 years.

Alongside their caravan rental fleet and touring camping fields they offer luxury lodges and holiday caravans for sale – so customers can own their own “little bit of Dorset”.

Choose from a caravan at their popular family park, Highlands End or a luxury lodge just five minutes walk from the beach at Burton Bradstock.

Our Challenge

When it comes to sourcing a dream holiday home, lots of people start their search online. Their regular use the larger property websites means their expectations are high and any new website needed to be straightforward and easy to use as they are.

So when WDLH approached us requiring a new website to cater solely for holiday home sales in Dorset we were confident that we had the expertise to deliver.

The challenge was to create a bespoke holiday home for sale website that catered for everything that someone in the holiday home buying space would ever need. The site needed to encourage sale enquires and also work in conjunction with their main, WDLH holiday website.

In order to give WDLH’s new site the upper edge we also added in:-
