Rebuilt the website from the ground up on Astro, replacing the old WordPress site

## The problem

The Luxury Leads was running on a poorly managed WordPress website. Rather than patch it, Arnold rebuilt it from the ground up on Astro. The new site went from start to launch in three weeks.

## What we built

  • Collection pages: Hotels & Resorts (about 30 properties across Monaco, Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, Morocco, Turkey, Qatar, the US and the UK) and Villas & Residences
  • Offers, About Us, Become a Partner and Contact pages
  • An Instagram feed section, a mailing-list signup, a WhatsApp contact button, and privacy, terms and GDPR pages
