The Objective
Manzi Monate Resort sought to enhance its online presence to better reflect the unique value and vibrant atmosphere it offers guests. The goal was to create a digital platform that not only captured the resort’s essence but also improved operational efficiency through integrated customer management and booking systems. By streamlining these processes, the resort aimed to elevate guest engagement and support long-term revenue growth, while providing a seamless and inspiring experience for visitors planning their ideal getaway.
Design Concept & Aesthetic Direction
Our design approach for the Manzi Monate website was all about creating a vibrant, fun, and visually engaging user experience that truly reflects the essence of the brand.Â
Central to the design are the bold blue and orange colours, which were directly inspired by the kingfisher icon in the resort’s logo. These pops of colour bring a lively energy to the site and strategically guide the user’s attention to important content and calls to action, all while evoking the natural, fresh feel associated with the Manzi Monate name.Â
Typography was another key consideration. The heading fonts draw inspiration from the logo’s original type, creating visual harmony between the existing brand assets and the new website layout. This choice reinforces brand recognition and adds to the playful, welcoming tone of the site.Â
Overall, the design successfully blends simplicity with personality, using colour and typography strategically to create a memorable and enjoyable user experience that encourages exploration.Â
