Tell us about your winning submissions! What do you think impressed the judges?
Appnovation worked with Visit California on the full redesign and replatforming of the new website, VisitCalifornia.com, providing user design consulting, user experience strategy and programming services.
Through user research, we learned that over 90% of users had already decided to visit California by the time they visited the website. They didn’t need to be sold on the idea - they needed tools to create their dream vacation.
With this in mind, we set out to make the updated site a planning tool as well as providing vacation inspiration.
For Visit California, it's all about building trust and delivering the best digital customer experience for users who are ready to travel again, and with their new user-first website, planning this year’s travel memories is easy.
