The work
Searching for the right school trip.
UK School Trips, a leading platform for organising educational trips, came to Opace with the need for a full website overhaul. The previous Joomla site was not only outdated but also posed a security risk, with support for the platform set to end. The client wanted a fresh, modern website that could better serve their users—teachers, youth leaders, and school trip organisers—while enhancing the overall search and booking experience.
Our work
Opace started by migrating the site from Joomla to WordPress, a move that offered more flexibility and long-term security. With the help of Advanced Custom Fields and the Elementor Page Builder, the new site was designed to simplify content management while providing an intuitive user experience for site visitors. The project also involved transferring around 1500 pages of content, ensuring SEO best practices were followed during the migration.
The design phase was based on reference sites like Emirates, Rightmove, and Group Accommodation, and involved creating custom mock-ups for the homepage, category pages, and product listing pages. These designs were tailored for both desktop and mobile, ensuring consistency and ease of use across all devices.
