Frontend Development For a Hotel Booking Website
Description
Our client, Splitty Travel is one of the leading travel booking websites from Israel. They reached out to our team in 2019 reviewing our expertise and services and requested integration with their internal team and to modernize their outdated front-end system. Our primary objective was to create a user-friendly front-end system without making any changes to its back-end system. Another goal was to improve mobile-friendliness and achieve a minimum score of 90 on Google PageSpeed Insights.
Challenge
Our clients at Splitty Travel approached us because their existing UI was outdated and negatively impacting user experience. They requested that our team completely rewrite the outdated frontend while keeping the existing backend intact.
Our main challenge was to speed up the frontend as the booking system loads a large amount of information, and we needed to optimize it to deliver data to users in a structured, sorted manner quickly. This was a complex task due to the intricate business logic involved.
Solution
To address their challenges, we assembled a team consisting of three software engineers and a quality assurance specialist. We successfully rewrote the website frontend using React.js and TypeScript. In the process, we implemented a comprehensive set of integration and speed tests using Puppeteer. It ensured that the system load time would not suddenly degrade.
To optimize the website load time, we employed various techniques, including converting it into a Progressive Web App (PWA), implementing extensive lazy loading, analyzing, and optimizing the sizes of its distributions. As a result of the successful UI development, we created a more responsive website with a more efficient user experience.
