🧑💼 About the Client
Our client is a UAE-based desert adventure and rental tours company offering quad biking, dune bashing, buggy rentals, camel rides, and premium desert safari experiences.
Before partnering with Growistan, the client had an outdated website with poor visuals, unclear tour listings, weak mobile responsiveness, and almost no conversion-focused design elements. This resulted in lower inquiries, minimal bookings, and limited brand credibility—despite operating in a booming tourism market.
They approached Growistan to redesign their entire website for higher conversions, stronger branding, and a more engaging customer journey.
