Redesign gaps: what we built from your answers
Emanuel, thanks for the comments and the updated designs of 8 November. This page shows, row by row, what we asked, what you answered and what is now built. It is not live yet.
1. Row by row
Itinerary: add-ons before and after the trip
Per your design- We asked
- Draw them for Groups and for desktop, or confirm Groups lose them.
- You said
- Done. Both sit below the itinerary now.
- We built
- "Pre-trip add-ons" and "Post-trip add-ons" under "See full itinerary", on Groups and Platforms, desktop and phone. Both start closed. The open state is covered in section 2.

"Preferred date unavailable? Contact us"
Per your designOur decision: the click- We asked
- Confirm Groups keep it, and show it on desktop.
- You said
- Keep. Centred under "Show more departures".
- We built
- The line under the departures on Groups and Platforms, desktop and phone. The wording is our existing translated text, which says the same thing.
- Our decision
- The design does not show what "Contact us" opens. We kept today's contact form (name, email, phone, message) and only moved it into the new pop-up frame, so it looks like your Flights and Tour guide pop-ups. We did not redesign the form: it is the same one used across the site.


Rating tiles ("The trip at a glance")
Per your design- We asked
- Do desktop and Platforms get them?
- You said
- Groups only, desktop and phone.
- We built
- Three tiles above the trip highlights, Groups only. They show the ratings our product team sets for each trip, so two things differ from the mock-up:
- The three categories change per trip (Activity, Comfort, Culture, Nature, Physical level and others). The label is "Comfort", not "viComfort".
- A trip shows tiles only if it has at least three ratings. Today that is about one trip in six.


Bar under the hero
Our decision- We asked
- Draw the Platforms desktop version. Can the minimum group size go?
- You said
- Design done. For the group size, ask Zlatan or Louis.
- We built
- Platforms: from price, duration, ship type with capacity, ship category.
- Our decision
- Groups and Platforms use the same bar. Groups show only the maximum group size, not the minimum, to keep the bar short and the page shorter on phones. No answer needed.

Dates & Prices: row details
Per your design- We asked
- One decision on the weekday and "From", for both screen sizes.
- You said
- No weekdays. "From" above the price on Groups and Platforms.
- We built
- Exactly that, on desktop and phone.
- Still to do
- Platforms desktop rows do not yet have the arrow and "8 days" between the two dates that your design shows. That is on our side.


Long lists and empty results
Per your design- We asked
- Draw the end of the desktop list and the empty state.
- You said
- No pagination: "Show more departures", then a "No more departures" pill. New empty state. You also asked if pagination has any benefit.
- We built
- Both, on Groups and Platforms, desktop and phone, on the trip page and the ship page. "Reset filters" brings the list back. On pagination: we see no benefit worth keeping, so it is gone.


Guide cards
Per your design- We asked
- Confirm rating and "Show more" go.
- You said
- They stay: star score next to the name, trips led, "Show more".
- We built
- Three cards per row on desktop, a carousel with dots on phones. "Has led N trips" shows only for guides with more than 30 trips, as today.


Video
Per your design- We asked
- Include the consent text in the video block.
- You said
- Added under the play button.
- We built
- White play button with the text under it, on every video. Before, only visitors who had not accepted marketing cookies saw the text.

Trip card map, availability chip, sticky card
Per your design- You said
- Keep the "Map" chip on Groups and Platforms cards, with the image swap and no pop-up. Keep the availability chip on departure lists. Groups lose the date select and the trip name in the sticky card.
- We built
- The Map chip is back on Platforms cards. The availability chip ("3 spots left", "Closed", "Available") is back on departure lists outside the trip page. The sticky card already matched, so nothing changed.
Itinerary day tabs
Per your designOur decision: add-on clicks- We asked
- Draw the other tabs (Accommodation, Extras, Wildlife, Food).
- You said
- Added. We found the frames in Figma.
- We built
- The day cards from your Figma frames: round day badge, title and route, icon-only tabs on phones (icon and label on desktop). Details: media, place links, meals and transport, then the text. Accommodation: photos, hotel, type, category, website and the hotel-change notice. Wildlife: the sightings notice and round animal photos. Add-ons: "Optional add-ons" with cards. Titles use the brand's headline blue.
- Our decision
- A day's add-on belongs to that day, but visitors choose it in the booking flow, not on the trip page. So "More" and "Read more" open the add-on details pop-up, the same one as the pre- and post-trip add-ons. The "Popular" chip shows only for add-ons with at least 20 ratings averaging above 4.4. Inside a day we show at most two add-on cards per row on desktop, so they stay readable.
Special departure states
Per your design- We asked
- One row example each for "Recommended", discount, "Inquiry", add-on rows, "Guaranteed" and the waiting-list card.
- You said
- Added. We found them in Figma.
- We build
- From your Figma frames.
Rows that are still open
Open- Trip card variants. Your comment says "Added on updated PDF", but the PDF we received does not contain them. Please send those frames or the Figma link.
- Worth knowing list. Example: viventura.de/reise/xega, section "Wissenswertes" next to the FAQs (six short notes, e.g. that the route allows slow acclimatisation to altitude, and that the return flight from Galapagos can take up to 24 hours). Few trips have entries; cega shares the same ones. Please confirm the style or draw it.
- Hotel cards, "Learn more". Waiting for your answer after you talk to Louis.
- Editor options (title alignment, overlay, small-tile menu). We will ask Zlatan.
- Pages 8 to 13 of our document. Waiting for your comments.
2. Page 6: what we meant
The open state of the add-ons
Our decisionSorry, that page was unclear. The four phone screenshots were evidence for other rows, with one real gap behind them: Figma shows "Pre-trip add-ons" and "Post-trip add-ons" only closed. It does not show what a visitor sees after opening one.
Your new PDF shows the open state for Groups (three cards on desktop, stacked cards on a phone), so we followed it and filled in the rest ourselves:
- Layout. Tinted header, white body. Desktop: three cards per row, and further rows if a trip has more than three add-ons. Phone: one full-width card under the other. Same on Platforms, in orange.
- Card. Photo, days, review score if the add-on has one, title, four lines of text, "Read more", then the price on the left and a filled button on the right. The "Popular" chip shows for well-rated add-ons (at least 20 ratings averaging above 4.4).
- Clicks. "Read more" and the button both open today's add-on details (price, single room supplement, full text, what is included), in the new pop-up frame. The design does not show this pop-up.
- Behaviour. Both sections start closed and open independently.
If you want a different open state, a Figma frame for phone and desktop is all we need.



3. Not built
- "Hide no-results view" link next to the filter pills. We read it as a prototype switch. Tell us if it is meant for visitors.
- Worth knowing, hotel "Learn more", editor options. Waiting for the answers listed above.
- Trip card variants. Waiting for the designs.
One note on wording: where a text already exists on the site in all languages, we kept it, so a few labels differ slightly from the mock-ups (for example "No results" for "No results found"). New texts such as "Show more departures" and "No more departures" follow your design.
