A trip catalogue the One Tribe team finally runs themselves

We moved an adventure travel brand from a locked platform to WordPress with a custom theme and panel. Every trip now has its own number, the catalogue can be searched by number, country or name, and the mobile version is designed on its own.

The site in motion

One catalogue, two complete screens

On desktop — more comparison in a single view. On a phone — filters, cards and booking designed for the thumb, not squeezed from the big screen.

The challenge

The catalogue grew faster than the platform

One Tribe takes groups to 49 countries, but the site lived on a locked platform where the content team could change almost nothing. To add a new departure date, in practice a new page was created — on the old site the URLs japanas-ekspedicija-3, -6, -8 showed it: the same trip split into separate records.

That had two consequences. First, no trip had a stable number — not for the customer in a conversation, not for the team internally, not on the invoice. Second, the marketing team could not work with SEO: the platform did not let them manage titles, descriptions, keywords or body copy the way modern search requires.

The old site was not bad — it already had filters and trip cards. The problem was that the catalogue grew faster than the platform could carry it, and each new date added to the chaos.

Before and after

Trip catalogue

Vecā vietne — Braucienu katalogs ar četriem filtriem un cenas slīdni Jaunā vietne — Braucienu katalogs ar meklēšanu pēc ONET numura un trim skatiem Pirms Pēc
Drag the slider to compare. Trip catalogue: before — four filters and a price slider; after — search by ONET number, sorting, extra filters, result count and three view modes.

What we did

Eight workstreams

Automatic trip numbers

Every trip now gets a number automatically, the moment it is created. The number is visible on the trip page, in the enquiry form and in the list, and you can search the catalogue by it. The customer says the number in a conversation — the team knows at once which departure it is.

Search that finds by number, country or name

Catalogue search accepts a trip name, a country or an ONET number. Alongside that — destination, month, difficulty and duration, extra filters for price and trip language, and badges for “Last places”, “Flights included”, “New dates”, “Early booking”. The result count is visible immediately, and the list can be sorted.

Three view modes for one catalogue

People search differently: one browses pictures, another compares dates and prices. So the catalogue has grid, compact and list views — the same data set, three ways to read it.

Migration to WordPress with a custom theme and panel

We moved all the content to WordPress and built a custom theme and admin panel specifically for trips: dates, prices and discounts, difficulty, group size, remaining places, included services and galleries. The content team now adds a trip without a developer.

SEO the marketing team can finally run themselves

Titles, descriptions, URLs and body copy are in the team’s hands. Each trip is one record with its own dates — not ten nearly identical pages competing with each other in search.

Micro-interactions and animation

Opening filters, card states, gallery transitions, the map and view switching — every action responds at once and clearly. The goal was not effects, but the feeling that the site reacts: browsing trips becomes pleasant, not merely possible.

Mobile and desktop as two full views

On mobile, filters, cards and the enquiry are designed separately, not squeezed from the desktop version. On desktop we use the wider screen — more comparison in one view, a side panel with price and enquiry that stays visible as you scroll.

Brand personalisation

The One Tribe compass mark lives throughout the interface — in icons, badges, map markers and small accents. The site looks like One Tribe, not a template with a logo stuck on.

The result

What works differently now

  • Every trip has a stable number used by the customer, the team and documents
  • A new departure date no longer needs a new page
  • The catalogue can be searched by number, country or name, and sorted
  • Content and SEO changes happen without a developer
  • One data set, three view modes and an interactive destinations map
  • A trip page can be saved as a PDF or continued in WhatsApp
  • The mobile experience is built separately, not scaled down from desktop

The site is publicly live at tribetravel.eu. We will add traffic and conversion figures once the first full season cycle has run — so the comparison with the old site is fair.

All works

Three steps to a proposal

No long intro. Usually one conversation is enough to understand scope and timing.

  1. Tell us the goal

    Enquiries, sales, speed or automation. A short note is enough.

  2. A short consult

    Goal, audience and what you already have. Usually one conversation.

  3. Proposal

    Scope, timing and the next step — before we write code.
