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

It’s been a minute since my last post here on Contra.
While my main focus usually lives in photo editing and digital design, I was digging through the archive recently and thought it’d be fun to share a couple of branding projects from the past:
Slide 1: Seart Visuals apparel & merchandise branding (1 year ago)
Slide 2: Choku Ladies Boutique identity and mockups (2 years ago)
Brand identity isn't my everyday lane, but tackling projects like these taught me a lot about visual consistency across different mediums. I’d love to hear your thoughts or see any feedback from fellow designers. Great to connect with the community again.
That's really great typography logo design❤️❤️
The only glow on the Kestra page is the reflective strip on the jacket. It comes from the image itself, so the Framer layers on top stay flat: grey, white and mono text, no glow effects on buttons or headings. That keeps the page easy to edit, because nothing in the UI depends on one lighting setup. If you swap the photo, the glow goes with it. Would you add a glow effect in Framer or keep it in the image?
wow, nothing but top notch
Built this in Framer as a concept project. Goal was to make it feel run by ex-journalists. Choices: editorial serif (Libre Baskerville), a dark photo with one color accent, and copy that positions against blast-style PR.
Where I’m unsure: text legibility over the photo and whether the two CTAs compete. What would you change?
That's great design it feels professional I like how the background mixed with interface ❤️❤️
Great job Cheree🎉🎉
