Overview
Caribbean Estates Resort, a premier self-catering destination on South Africa’s Wild Coast, offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and family-friendly relaxation.
To reflect this coastal charm online, Digitlab redesigned the resort’s website into a stunning, intuitive platform tailored for today’s digital traveler.Â
Design Language & Visual Identity
The creative direction leaned into the tropical elegance of the estate. A colour palette inspired by the vibrant rooftops and tranquil ocean blues is paired with soft sandy hues – mirroring the natural surroundings. Curved image frames simulate looking through an arched veranda or beachside window, invoking calm, warmth, and curiosity.Â
These gentle shapes, paired with minimalist design elements, establish a light, breathable user experience that draws visitors in and invites exploration.Â
CMS-Powered EleganceÂ
Built on WordPress with Elementor, the site benefits from drag-and-drop flexibility while maintaining a cohesive and visually rich experience. Custom templates were created for global headers, footers, blog archives, and page layouts – ensuring brand consistency and easy navigation on all devices.Â
Every design component was refined for responsiveness, ensuring beauty and usability across desktop, tablet, and mobile formats.Â
