Overview:

Kidzescape, a leading provider of escape rooms designed specifically for kids, faced significant challenges with their outdated website. Their clients struggled to manage bookings effectively, while users found it cumbersome to reserve escape rooms due to the lack of a streamlined booking system. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive solution, Kidzescape embarked on a website redesign project aimed at enhancing user experience and introducing a robust booking system.

3. Mobile-Friendly Design: The redesigned website was optimized for mobile devices, catering to the preferences of modern consumers who frequently browse and book services on their smartphones.
4. E-Invites and Communication Tools: Kidzescape implemented features for sending electronic invitations and communicating with guests via the website and email, simplifying event coordination and enhancing customer engagement.
5. Clear Start and Finish Times: The booking system provided clear information on the start and finish times of each activity, ensuring transparency and helping customers plan their visits effectively.
