Refracting Africa approached Captivate Designs with a critical goal: to create a website that looked as powerful and culturally rich as their curated group travel experiences. Built originally on Squarespace by the founder, the site lacked the professional edge and marketing structure needed to engage visitors and drive conversions. Captivate Designs stepped in to build a world-class web presence for Refracting Africa—one that amplifies their brand image, captivates attention, and makes visitors say "wow." From strategy to design execution, the new website showcases a bold, engaging platform that celebrates the brand's mission and invites travelers to connect deeply with African and diasporic heritage.
Before
After
Refracting Africa’s old website was built by the founder using a basic Squarespace template. While it got the business online, it failed to reflect the professionalism, experience, passion, and purpose behind the brand.
Captivate Designs collaborated closely with Refracting Africa to create a website that would do more than look good—it needed to wow visitors, captivate attention, and position the brand as a premium, culturally rich experience provider. Our goal was to design a site that was not only beautiful and professional, but also marketing-focused and built to convert. We emphasized clarity, compelling content, and functionality, aligning the site experience with Refracting Africa’s mission and the expectations of its audience.
Custom, visually stunning, mobile-optimized design that grabs attention and boosts brand credibility
Visual storytelling through curated images from past tours
Improved content hierarchy for easier navigation and engagement
Marketing-driven content that resonates with ideal clients
newsletter signup, booking form, and strategic calls to action
Responsive layout optimized for mobile, tablet, and desktop viewing
The redesigned website has transformed Refracting Africa’s digital footprint:

“I first connected with Nicole through a training session where she shared expert strategies for designing websites that actually speak to your customer base. As a relatively new business owner running a group travel company, I knew my existing Squarespace site wasn’t cutting it. The bounce rate was high, the site wasn’t holding people’s attention, and I just wasn’t seeing the engagement I needed to convert sales. Nicole helped me reimagine my website in a way that brought my brand to life. Using photos from past tours, she created a layout that was beautiful and also consistent with Refracting Africa's mission and values. She was incredibly patient and happy to complete any changes to the website to fit what I needed. I am ecstatic with the new digital home of Refracting Africa and can't thank Nicole enough for her redesign work. I highly recommend her.”
