Travel Destination Guide Website Build

I’m ready to launch a travel site focused on rich, informative destination guides and I need the full website put together from the ground up. For now there’s no payment gateway—our primary conversion point will be a simple, clean form that encourages visitors to inquire or subscribe when a guide inspires them.

There is just one destination but it must feel immersive. I want photo galleries where users scroll through thumbnails to explore the images, paired with native-embedded video clips that play smoothly on mobile and desktop. These media elements should be effortless for me to update later, so please build on a CMS you’re comfortable extending (WordPress, Webflow or another you recommend).

Core deliverables
• Responsive website with homepage and supporting static pages
• Gallery module using thumbnail scrolling, integrated into every guide
• Seamless video embeds with performance optimisations
• Action-driven contact/submission form wired to my email inbox (and easy to hook into a CRM later)
• CMS instructions so I can add new guides, photos and videos without touching code

Clean code, fast load times and an eye for modern travel aesthetics will make this project a success. Let me know what stack you’d use, how you’ll keep the media lightweight, and a rough timeline to hand over a fully tested site.
