From WhatsApp Chaos to a Fully Managed Travel Club With Online Bookings
Explore with Shy Boi · Ghana
The Challenge
Explore with Shy Boi is a travel club based in Ghana that organises group travel experiences across Africa. When he came to us, he had no website at all. Everything was managed manually over WhatsApp: announcing upcoming trips, answering the same questions repeatedly, collecting deposits informally, confirming who had paid and who had not. As the club grew, the WhatsApp approach became completely unmanageable. There was no central place for potential members to find upcoming trips. Payment collection was informal — money sent via Mobile Money with no structured tracking. The founder was spending hours every week on repetitive admin.
Our Solution
We designed and built a full travel club website from scratch. The website presents upcoming trips in a clear, visual format. Each trip has its own dedicated page with full itinerary, dates, group size, pricing, and payment options. We integrated a payment gateway so members could pay deposits and trip fees directly through the website. This turned an informal WhatsApp exchange into a structured, trackable booking system. For SEO, we targeted travel-related search terms in Ghana. We set up Google Business Profile to build local credibility. The site was built so the founder has full control — adding new trips, updating itineraries, changing pricing — without needing technical help.
The Results
