I almost didn't submit anything for this challenge.
Not because I couldn't build.
Because I couldn't find a business that felt right.
For the first two days, I researched businesses across different niches and even built base templates for five different companies.
Technically, I could've submitted any of them.
But none of them felt like they had a story worth telling.
I could've picked any business and built a decent website. But that wouldn't have satisfied my creativity - especially when we were given such an incredible opportunity with this challenge.
Then I found Tour My Choice.
A local tour operator introducing travelers to the timeless heritage of Ajanta, Ellora, Hampi, and beyond.
Everything clicked.
But when I looked at their online presence, I felt there was a disconnect.
Their website was filled with long blocks of text, inconsistent presentation, and very little that reflected the premium, immersive journeys they actually offer. India's incredible heritage deserves more than paragraphs of information – it deserves an experience that sparks curiosity from the very first scroll.
From that moment, this stopped being a website redesign.
It became an attempt to make people feel the journey before they ever booked one.
Over the next 30+ hours, I obsessed over every detail – from typography, layouts, animations, imagery, and storytelling to refining tiny interactions that most people may never consciously notice, but all contribute to the overall experience.
Here's what I built:
•An immersive homepage designed to spark curiosity from the very first scroll.
• Ask the Stones – an Al heritage guide that answers questions about Ajanta, Ellora, Hampi, hidden stories, local culture, and more.
• A personalized Al journey planner that recommends the best tour based on each traveler's preferences.
• Comprehensive database covering detailed itineraries, inclusions, and pricing for all eight core tour packages.
• Enterprise-style booking automation that first saves every enquiry to the business's internal database before generating a perfectly pre-filled WhatsApp message containing the traveler's recommended itinerary, group size, preferences, add-ons, and package details-ensuring no lead is ever lost.
• Beyond redesigning the experience, I wanted to solve a real operational problem. Every enquiry is now captured internally before the customer is redirected to WhatsApp, giving the business a reliable lead record even if the conversation is never completed.
• A dynamic INR (₹) and USD ($) currency switch for international travelers.
• A history quiz for travelers who want to dive deeper into India's past.
• Curated tour packages, authentic reviews, and a premium booking experience.
• Every WhatsApp button, social link, email address, phone number, and contact point is connected directly to Tour My Choice's official channels – making it a fully functional website, not just a design concept.
• Fully optimized for mobile devices – although I'd still recommend experiencing it on a bigger screen.🥹
I also made a conscious decision not to reinvent the business itself. Every package, itinerary, price, and business detail remains faithful to the original website. The focus was on eliminating repetition, improving clarity, and creating an experience that communicates their value more effectively.

This challenge reminded me that the hardest part isn't building.
It's finding a story worth building for

We all want @Contra HQ to have a mobile app, right? This is how I would approach it! 😉
Great work
𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟔𝟖 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬
Recently someone told me: “you only show wins.”
So today 𝐈’𝐦 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞 😶🌫️😭 that was silently holding my profile back 👇
Check before / after screenshots first
My Discovery score jumped from 127 → 145 And Profile quality went from 62% → 100%
And here’s what actually happened:
I didn’t “grow overnight” I fixed something I didn’t even know was broken
You can actually reduce your score if your case studies are not structured correctly.
In my case, my work cases were silently underperforming, and I had no idea 😳
⚠️✅ Here’s what I learned (so you don’t repeat this):
📌 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞-𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲 → don’t just place visuals → add short text blocks between sections (context matters)
📌𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐛𝐛𝐥𝐞-𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐬 → don’t upload single images only → add at least 2 visuals + description text
📌 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞: → at least ~150 characters of description → clear structure → no “empty” uploads
If you have Contra Pro — you’ll see warnings about what’s wrong. If not — you might not even notice that score reduced
I honestly wish I knew this earlier.
✅ So I fixed it → and this is the result above.
Also, I’m currently at 𝟒𝟒𝟔 / 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 still building this challenge step by step.
And now a small ask:
If you like my work please support my new submission in the #Wonderchallenge 🙏❤️ https://on.contra.com/PdDPjB ❤️ Let’s continue building and learning in public.
🐐 + 💬 = ❤️
