Lessons Learned

  • Implementing multiple language localisation is a challenge. Adding more languages adds more complexity, and increases the difficulty of maintaining the website. The value of adding more languages remains to be seen. Monitoring the traffic and conversion rates based on the language is an ongoing process. The hypothesis is that alternative languages will usher in bookings from different markets.
  • Performance testing revealed a marked improvement in page load times over the wordpress predecessor.
