Rebuilt a sluggish traditional WordPress travel site into a decoupled Next.js + WPGraphQL platform — delivering a 4× performance jump, a bespoke booking flow, and full editorial autonomy for the content team.
Travinto's existing WordPress site was holding the business back on every front — speed, UX, and content management.
The existing WordPress site was scoring sub-40 on Lighthouse, with heavy plugin bloat dragging every page load past 6 seconds — directly hurting search rankings and bounce rate.
Travellers expected a rich, app-like experience for searching destinations and booking packages. Classic WP themes couldn't support the interactive filters and real-time availability they needed.
Marketing needed full control over destinations, itineraries, and blog content without waiting on developers. The old setup tangled content and code together.
A headless architecture gave Travinto the best of both worlds — the power of WordPress for content and the speed of a modern frontend for travellers.
Decoupled WordPress as a pure content backend (WPGraphQL + ACF) from a Next.js 14 frontend. Content editors keep the familiar WP dashboard; the frontend delivers near-instant page loads via static generation and ISR.
Built a multi-step React booking wizard with real-time availability checks, dynamic pricing, and traveller count controls — all integrated with a third-party booking API while WordPress manages the destination content.
Static-generated destination and package pages with structured data, Open Graph, and programmatic sitemaps. Every route is pre-rendered at build time — fully indexable and blazing fast for organic discovery.
Custom post types for Destinations, Packages, and Itineraries with intuitive ACF field groups. Editors publish, update, and preview live content without touching a line of code or submitting a dev ticket.
Within the first 60 days of launch, Travinto saw measurable gains across every key metric.
"BananaBlocks didn't just rebuild our site — they transformed how our whole team works. Our content editors love the new dashboard, our customers love the speed, and our bookings numbers say the rest."
