A route for each organiser
Audience-specific pages explain relevant support instead of sending every visitor through one generic pitch.
Retreat venue · Sri Lanka
Zenki House
Help people picture the retreat, then plan it.
An English and Spanish website connecting the atmosphere of a retreat house with practical guidance for group organisers.
The homepage introduces the venue; the planning page turns that interest into practical questions.
The context
What does the visitor need?
A beautiful venue is only part of the decision. A retreat organiser also needs to know who the house suits, what is included and how a programme could come together. The site needs to balance inspiration with the practical questions behind an enquiry.
Our approach
Design around the job to be done.
We organised the experience around the people planning a stay: yoga teachers, travel agencies, corporate teams and private groups. Authentic photography introduces the house and its setting; dedicated audience pages, room information and planning guidance make the next step more concrete. The Spanish version opens the same story to another audience without replacing the English journey.
What we delivered
Details that make the experience useful.
Atmosphere with practical detail
The house, facilities and included services give organisers material to assess the venue before asking for a proposal.
A clearer planning conversation
Retreat-planning guidance introduces the details the team needs to discuss a group stay.
The visitor journey
From interest to the next step.
One way visitors can move through the website.
- Choose your group type
- Explore the house
- Review the planning details
- Contact the local team
Inside the design
The sections, and why they are there.
These benefits explain the design intent, not measured performance results.
Audience pathways
What it does
Separate routes for yoga teachers, travel agencies and corporate teams.
Why we designed it this way
These visitors have different planning questions, so one generic offer would force them to do more work.
Intended benefit
Helps an organiser find relevant support and start a more focused conversation.
House and included services
What it does
Real venue photography sits alongside rooms, facilities and practical inclusions.
Why we designed it this way
Atmosphere creates interest, but organisers also need concrete information to assess suitability.
Intended benefit
Makes the venue easier to evaluate before a tailored proposal is requested.
Retreat planning
What it does
A dedicated page explains the three pathways, planning rhythm and common questions.
Why we designed it this way
Not every organiser arrives with a complete programme or the same level of support in mind.
Intended benefit
Gives the first enquiry a clearer starting point without promising instant booking.
Across screen sizes
One website. Room for every screen.
The same page at three viewport sizes. Select any screen to explore the detail.
Designed for the next step
An enquiry shaped around the group.
The contact form distinguishes retreat organisers, travel agencies, company teams and other groups. Dates, group size and the retreat idea prepare a WhatsApp conversation; email remains an alternative. This is a tailored enquiry, not an instant reservation.
Test evidence
A closer look at website health.
Lighthouse lab checks of the live homepage on 13 November 2026, on mobile and desktop. Scores below are ordered: performance, accessibility, best practices and SEO.
What do these results mean?
These checks help identify friction in loading, using and understanding a page. They guide improvements; they do not guarantee enquiries, search rankings or full accessibility compliance.
The headline scores
- Performance
- How quickly content appears, becomes usable and stays in place during this test.
- Accessibility
- Automated checks for barriers such as missing labels or low contrast. Manual review is still needed.
- Best Practices
- Basic browser, connection and code checks; this is not a full security audit.
- SEO
- Technical basics that help search engines read the page. This is not a ranking prediction.
- Agentic Browsing
- Experimental checks for AI browsing tools. A fraction such as 2/2 shows checks passed, not a score out of 100.
Timing and stability
- FCP
- When the first text or image appears.
- LCP
- When the largest visible piece of content appears.
- TBT
- Time when long tasks can delay input during loading.
- CLS
- How much content unexpectedly shifts position.
- Speed Index
- How quickly the visible page fills in.
For these timings and CLS, lower is better. s means seconds; ms means milliseconds.
These are snapshots of lab tests, not real-user data or whole-site certification. Results vary between runs with device, network and test conditions. Select a report to enlarge it.
The delivered result
A clearer, connected experience.
A connected presentation of the venue, its audiences and its planning support. The case study describes the delivered website, not a measured increase in enquiries or bookings.
Designed for more than one language
Two real views of the same interior page show how the content is presented for each language, while keeping the next step clear.

Client feedback
In the client’s words.
“Ammar quickly understood what we wanted Zenki House to stand for and brought that to life on our website. After the updates, several new clients found us through the site.”
Excerpt from a public Google review. New clients finding the business through the site are reported by the client, not an independently audited result.
