Strategic Context
Objective
Away Resorts sells holiday homes across 26 UK parks. The holiday homes sales arm of the business is a high-margin revenue stream with significant untapped potential. The website is the primary discovery and evaluation channel for prospective buyers – and improving its performance is the most capital-efficient route to growing holiday home sales.
Unlike paid advertising or expanding the sales team, website optimisation is scalable without proportional cost increase. Every friction point removed from the online journey is a permanent improvement that compounds over time. A customer who finds their ideal holiday home with confidence and clarity is more likely to convert than one who navigates confusion, incomplete information, and broken functionality.
This audit examines the holiday home sales journey end-to-end, identifying where the website is failing prospective buyers and what changes would have the greatest impact on conversion.
