In the ever-evolving landscape of the travel industry, planning the perfect holiday can often be a daunting task, fraught with numerous considerations and complexities. Recognising this challenge, the team at Qodex, a leading digital marketing agency, helped Build a Break revolutionise the way travellers approach trip planning with the launch of their innovative project, Build a Break.

The Challenge Qodex’s mission was to create a comprehensive travel planning solution that would streamline the entire process, from ideation to execution. They understood that travellers were seeking a more personalised, stress-free approach to organising their vacations, one that would cater to their unique preferences and budgetary constraints.

The key objectives for the Build a Break project were:

1. Develop a custom, user-friendly platform that would guide users through the creation of personalized travel itineraries.

The Solution Qodex’s team of designers, developers, and marketing experts collaborated to bring the Build a Break vision to life, leveraging the versatility and flexibility of WordPress and the advanced functionality of the Jet Engine plugin.

Custom Plugin Development At the heart of Build a Break’s functionality lies a custom WordPress plugin developed by Qodex. This plugin, built using Jet Engine, serves as the backbone of the travel planning platform, enabling users to seamlessly create and manage their personalized itineraries.

The plugin’s intuitive interface guides users through a step-by-step process, allowing them to input their travel preferences, budget constraints, and other relevant details. Based on this information, the platform generates a curated itinerary, complete with suggested activities, accommodations, and transportation options.

This feature enables users to input their estimated expenses, track their spending, and adjust their plans accordingly, ensuring a stress-free and financially responsible vacation.

The budget planner is seamlessly integrated with the itinerary builder, allowing users to visualize the financial implications of their travel choices and make informed decisions that align with their budgetary goals.
