Website Design & BuildContent Strategy & Blog SystemSEO FoundationResponsive Web DesignPlatform Migration

A travel curator’s website should reflect the care and attention they put into every itinerary. We rebuilt Acosta Curated Travel’s platform with a Knowledge Center, curated experiences showcase, and content-driven design that helps clients discover exceptional travel.

Project Overview

Acosta Curated Travel came to us with a simple request: take the website off their plate. Managing hosting, updates, and technical details had become a constant distraction from what they actually love doing: crafting personalized itineraries and building relationships with clients. We migrated everything to our infrastructure, rebuilt their platform with enhanced features, and now handle all the technical work. They focus on creating exceptional travel experiences. We handle the tech.

Complete Migration to Managed Infrastructure

The website had become a time sink. Every technical issue, every update, every hosting question pulled them away from their real work. They needed someone to handle all of it: hosting, CRM, email management, the whole infrastructure. They also wanted their existing blog and trip showcase enhanced with better search capabilities and more engaging presentation, all tied together in a CRM that actually helps them manage client relationships instead of creating more work.

Empowering Tools with Ongoing Support

We moved everything to our managed infrastructure. Hosting, CRM, email management: all handled automatically, no questions asked. Their Knowledge Center blog now has tags and advanced search so visitors can actually find what they’re looking for. The Upcoming Experiences section looks better and includes a "Copy Trip" button that lets interested travelers request consultations instantly. Every inquiry flows into their CRM automatically. Most importantly, we’re always here to handle the technical side so they can focus on what they do best: planning trips that people remember.

The Challenge & Solution

The Challenge

Website management had become a constant interruption. Every technical issue pulled them away from client calls. Every hosting question stole time from trip planning. The site itself needed work: their blog lacked proper search functionality, and the trip showcase could be more engaging. But the real problem was simpler: they’re travel curators, not web developers. They needed someone to handle all the technical work so they could get back to what they actually do well.
Their expertise is in building relationships and crafting personalized itineraries. Not managing servers, troubleshooting email issues, or wrestling with website updates. They needed a CRM that actually streamlined their workflow instead of complicating it. They needed a platform that enhanced their existing features while removing the technical burden completely. The goal wasn’t complicated: let them focus on creating exceptional travel experiences instead of managing infrastructure.

Our Solution

We migrated everything to our infrastructure and rebuilt their platform from the ground up. Hosting, CRM, email management: all handled automatically now. Their Knowledge Center blog got a serious upgrade with tags, advanced search, and filtering that actually works. Visitors can find destination guides and travel insights without getting lost. The Upcoming Experiences section looks better and includes a "Copy Trip" button that lets interested travelers request consultations instantly.
Every inquiry, trip request, and client interaction flows directly into their CRM. No manual entry, no lost leads, no confusion. Everything runs on our managed infrastructure: hosting, backups, email, domain management. All automatic. We built in proper SEO structure so the site can actually be found in search results. The design reflects their refined brand aesthetic without getting in the way. But here’s what matters most: we handle all the technical work so they can focus on what they love. No more website headaches. Just exceptional trip planning.
