Hi, I'm Craig. I am building Eurotripr
Eurotripr.com is a WORK IN PROGRESS and I am currently working on it between my 9-5 and family and other responsibilities. I tell people who know what they are that I want it to be as if NomadList and IndieHackers had a baby and that baby helped people plan trips to Europe.
Eurotripr is a website that offers travel planning resources for anyone who wants to explore Europe. The website features a curated selection of destinations, attractions, and travel itineraries, and provides detailed information on multiple European countries, cities, and attractions, including costs, rankings, and ratings. Eurotripr offers a member forum and chat to connect with other Eurotrippers and gain inspiration from pre-made travel itineraries.
As a member, users can gain access to the custom itinerary builder, group itinerary editing, meet-ups with other Eurotrippers, and an ad-free experience. Membership will also include the opportunity to book cheap flights, accommodations, attractions, and train tickets through the platform in the future.
The website's goal is to help travelers gain the confidence to plan a custom Eurotrip that meets their travel goals and budget.
I would recommend that you add an Interactive Content where you offer a checklist filter so people can navigate through setting up a trip in Europe.
I also think that you summed all of your text into a landing page video so less people will scroll and have direct interaction with your product.
Thanks for the reco!
I am working on a filter functionality that will allow users to get itinerary recos being doing what you mention in your first comment. But I'm not clear on what you mean in your second one.
The second statement is that you can condense a lot of your site copy into a landing page video.
This way, your website visitors don't scroll away from the website because of the elongated time it takes to process text, and they help drive conversions for your website.
If you are interested in having a landing page video done, feel free to reach out to me via email: growthmarketgigs@gmail.com and my form: https://airtable.com/shrkjId5WjEGOqIZy
This looks great!
One thing I would recommend is have some type of information about how some of the data came to be. Like tooltip or something next to the figure.
Some examples.
Finland's internet score of 2.5 doesn't tell me anything if there is no explanation on how internet is scored.
Best taxi app in Finland Menevä. Why is it the best? Without information on how that came to be I wouldn't just order that taxi company just because the table said so. But if it said for example that this was chosen because they have the cheapest rates or have the most professional drivers based on user reports I would be much more inclined to listen to that advice but if it just says the name of the company and nothing else it probably won't affect my taxi choices.
What is scams and robbery and what does the dollar amount represent?
Safe to drink tap water is also something I would probably still google instead of trusting the yes/no. but if below that yes/no field there were some sources like a link to their government's webpage or something I would feel much more confident.
I think some of these problems are always present in the initial stages of businesses that rely on users providing information, but I feel like having only few destinations with deep and accurate information would be much more useful than having all the destinations with little information.
Also, the frontpage made me think the service is just those blobs of information about countries and made me confused about what service would I be paying for if I joined but then I checked the start here and seems like there are lots of great stuff there as well that could be highlighted in the front page.
I think there is potential to be great travel site and take my comments with a massive grain of salt. I'm not expert in marketing or landing page design or anything. I'm just random dude that likes to travel and had few thoughts to share
Thanks for your comments. THey are very helpful, and I agree with everything you said.
I actually have tool tips for all the scores and costs that link to google results so users can see evidence of the stats I use. These are on my development version so not Live yet. But I agree that this is helpful to users.
One problem I do have with showing sources is that some of the data is sourced from various APIs and then aggregated so showing that as a single point of truth is difficult.
As for the confusion of the home page, I definitely get that and is why I built the "Start Here" page and have been going back and forth re: which page (or something different) to use as the home page and have at times since the site has been live gone back and forth between the Countries and the Start Here pages. But will admit I have kept it the Countries page b/c am following the lead of NomadList.
Again thank you so much for reviewing my Work in Progress site, and providing such detailed feedback and recommendation!
Great site, and nice idea.
Hey, Great concept.
Have you ever thought of integrating ChatGPT?
Yes - i am trying to stitch together a AI powered Itinerary generator to replace my manual custom Itinerary maker.
I can see your vision and the site looks clean, keep it up!
Thank you so much!!!
