Wings Whitsunday Adventures
Graphic design and a custom Wagtail (Django) site for a Whitsunday sailing tour operator, pulling live tour availability and bookings from Wotif, Rezdy and other APIs. Built over several years.
Overview
wings.com.auWings runs sailing tours and holiday adventures out of the Whitsundays. The brief grew over several years: design and visual direction first, then a custom Wagtail (Django) site, then API integrations so the website shows live tours, availability and pricing from booking platforms like Wotif and Rezdy in one place. Custom admin features support the team running the operation day to day.

The Project
A tourism operator's website that does the booking work.
Wings Whitsunday Adventures needed more than a brochure site: one that pulls live tour availability from several booking platforms and presents it to customers as a single offering.
The problem for a tour operator like Wings isn't visibility. It's that bookings are scattered across third-party platforms (Wotif, Rezdy and others), each with its own slice of availability and its own dashboard, and none of them adds up to one offering for a customer landing on the company's own website.
Wagtail (Django) handles the content. Behind it, API integrations pull live availability, pricing and booking information from each connected platform and present it as one set of tours on wings.com.au. Customers see real availability for their dates in one place, and aren't sent to a third-party booking page until they're ready to book.
Custom admin tooling gives the Wings team control over how the integrations behave, what appears where, and how tours are presented. The work has run across several years and several rounds of features, with the site growing as the business has.
