Overview
Websites that have to win over a traveller on the other side of the world
A large share of Pokhara's businesses sell to people who are not in Nepal yet. A traveller in Europe or Australia compares three trekking agencies or four Lakeside hotels on their phone, often on a slow hotel connection along the way, and makes a decision based on photos, clear prices or package details, and how easy it is to ask a question. A website that is slow, vague, or hard to contact loses that booking to a platform that takes a commission.
Web design for these businesses comes down to a few specific things. Photos have to look sharp and still load quickly, which means compressing and sizing every image properly. Packages, rooms, and itineraries need their own pages with the details travellers ask about: duration, difficulty, what is included, what to bring, and dates. And the enquiry form should ask for dates, group size, and nationality up front, so your reply can be a quote instead of a list of questions.
Pokhara's own residents are a different audience with different needs. Schools, colleges, hospitals and clinics, shops, and service businesses in the city mostly need a fast site in Nepali or English, a phone number one tap away, accurate Google Maps details, and pages that answer what local customers search for.
We run Pokhara projects remotely with scheduled calls and a private review link you open on your own phone, and someone from the team travels to Pokhara for the kickoff or staff training on larger projects. Seasonal work is planned around your calendar, so a new site or a redesign is ready before the autumn and spring trekking seasons start.
