Challenge
The client approached us with a specific problem: the existing web application for hotel and restaurant reservations required serious optimisation. It was running on outdated technology and did not meet modern user requirements. The main problems were as follows:
- Slow loading speed: Users often faced long waits while loading pages, which negatively affected their experience.
- Outdated interface: The design of the app looked outdated, which reduced clickability and interest in using the platform.
- Lack of support for new technologies: The codebase was written in Vue.js 2, which limited opportunities for further development.
Goals set by our team:
📌Completely migrate the codebase to a more modern version of Vue.js.
📌Optimise the code to the latest industry standards.
📌Design a new, more attractive application interface.

Solution
Work on the project started with a deep analysis of the current state of the application. We conducted a code review to identify bottlenecks and understand which elements need the most attention.
▎The main implementation steps:
- Code base migration: We started by migrating from Vue.js 2 to Vue.js 3, which gave us the opportunity to use new features and enhancements such as Composition API. We also replaced Webpack with Vite, which made building the project much faster.
- Code Optimisation: During the migration, we didn't just migrate the code, we also optimised it. This included improving the structure of components, removing outdated dependencies, and applying programming best practices.
- Implementing Typescript: We added Typescript support to improve code typing. This made it more readable and simplified further support and development of new features.
- Automated tests: We covered the project with automated tests to ensure its stability and reduce the probability of future bugs.
- New interface development: Finally, we created a new interface for the application with a focus on user-friendliness. We used CSS (SASS) for styling and HTML to create structured components.

Results
The results of our work were impressive and exceeded the client's expectations:
- Increased processing speed: By optimising the code and switching to Vite, page load times were significantly reduced.
- Increased site clickability: The new interface became more attractive and intuitive, increasing the number of user interactions with the site.
- Increased traffic: The improved user experience led to an increase in the number of visitors to the site.
- Increased inbound lead flow: Optimisation of the booking system contributed to an increase in booking enquiries from both hotels and restaurants.
