Launch of boutique hotel and website
Boutique Hotel Nixe
This is what mermaids and mermen dream of
The challenge
Imagine looking out over the dreamy Binz beach promenade from the balcony of a Nixe junior suite. With this "stage direction", many ideas and after a personally coordinated briefing, XPORT designed the website launch for the reopening of Villa Nixe, the boutique hotel of the Schewe hotelier family from Binz.

The XPORT solution
The spaciousness of the vacation apartments is reflected in even larger images. A small amount of specific information provides details, the "from price" and the direct call-to-action link to the Hotelnetsolutions booking engine.
Arrangements that are in demand are shown as "bestsellers". Practical marketing: The editor has the option in the CMS to select the desired arrangement and manually select it as a "bestseller".
One particular challenge was the customer's wish to present spa treatments on the hotel website in as much detail as possible and to allow guests to make qualified inquiries. This should relieve the spa staff of standardized and time-consuming queries. XPORT decided to develop a shopping cart similar to those used in online stores. The hotel and day spa guest selects one or more treatments. In a clearly laid out form, they directly reserve a desired and alternative appointment for one or two people in the wellness area of the Nixe boutique hotel. The total price of the requested treatments is displayed immediately.
Hotel events and neighborhood tips can redirect to a connected blog system. Namely when the editor in the CMS processes the tip into more information than the teaser allows. The customer has named the blog "Logbook" to match the Baltic Sea experience.
The result
The boutique hotel Villa Nixe in Binz on the island of Rügen invites mermaids and mermen to spend a charming, responsive and SEO-technically flawless vacation in one of its 16 apartments. The CMS is actively and gladly used by the customer to market current offers, especially during the low season.
Sea view, even from your smartphone
The smartphone is often the first inspiring starting point for a future guest's travel research. That's why Boutiquehotel Nixe also welcomes Baltic Sea lovers on their mobile devices with a subtle design, classic color combinations and the largest possible images. The mobile-first concept is also noticeable in the page speed. Above all, the "special treatment" and thus resource-saving embedding of images that are played on mobile devices. Despite the numerous scripts and analysis cookies, the hotel website achieves a mobile score of just under 60.
