Cocoon & Cosy
cocoon-arolla.com sourceCamping Arolla is located in the heart of the Swiss Alps, at an altitude of 1.950 meters.
The site is built by:
Swiss Arolla campsite runs the highest campsite in Europe and I’m completely re-doing their actuel Website with Hugo.
But they just launch a brand new offer (luxury tents with bed and fire oven), and we couldn’t wait for the proper new website for having this promoted: we needed the website up and running within 24h!
So we decided to quickly launch a dedicated independant web site using all the powefull tools included with gohugo.io and some things we already knew & used:
- Choose a spectacular landing theme in the rich Hugo Themes collection : Airspace Theme by Themefisher.
- Replace the main images.
- Add a hugo-easy-gallery / photoswipe on the main page with attractive images.
- Add the promo video with a simple vimeo shortcode.
- Replace the Google Maps widget by the OpenStreetMap equivalent
- Use a Zotabox contact form.
- Write the content in French & in English directly on the content pages, describe their services, add fun facts and true testimonies.
- Setup a GPRD compliant site with the new Hugo options.
- Use Netlify for publishing it in a breeze.
The first version was up in 4 hours, and the polished 2 languages version was published on Netlify the next day.
This would have been impossible to do it in such a short time without all the powerfull Hugo tools and Netlify simplicity.
