DFB

The problem

DFB sold holidays in Denmark, mostly holiday homes. The offer is large, and the homes differ in ways that matter to families: the number of bedrooms, a pool or sauna, whether pets are allowed, how far it is to the water. Visitors had to narrow that down without losing track of what they had already seen.

Approach

I designed the templates and built the front-end. The results page has a fixed search column on the left, with a small map of Denmark, destination, arrival, departure, persons, maximum price, type of accommodation and pets. Above the results a bar shows how many homes match. Each card shows a photo, name and region, a luxury rating, a review score, the old and new price and a mini map of Denmark with a dot on the location. Details open under the card. Search via the map lets you click regions, and extended search adds filters as toggle buttons, such as sauna, whirlpool and LEGOLAND tickets.

Outcome

On a phone the search column turns into a search button next to the menu, and the cards stack in one column with the details still in place. Later screens in the gallery, under the Dansk.nl name, take the same cards and search column further, up to a house page with an availability calendar.

What changed

• A search column with the main filters next to every result list.
• Result cards with photo, score, luxury rating, price and a mini map.
• Search by clicking regions on a map, plus extended search with toggle filters.
• Layouts for desktop, iPad and phone.
