The Challenge
SabbaticalHomes had a loyal user base but an outdated platform. Their legacy setup limited design flexibility, slowed content updates, and created usability issues on mobile. They needed a refreshed experience that stayed familiar while removing friction for both users and admins.
What We Did
Strategy
We aligned with the client’s long-term vision to make the site more usable, mobile-friendly, and sustainable after 20+ years of incremental growth.
UX Design
We restructured the listing and search experience, reduced friction in key user flows, and introduced content templates for consistent storytelling.
UI Design
We gave the platform a visual refresh with clean layouts, modern fonts, and improved contrast—while maintaining familiarity for existing users.
CMS Integration
We helped migrate their legacy content into a modern headless CMS with dynamic templates and component-based layouts for better reusability.
Design System
We built a scalable design system with tokens and reusable components to support long-term maintainability and consistent user experience.
