Would you plan your itinerary on Vjago.com?

Vjago is an app for planning trips, similar to (the-now-dead) Google Trips: it allows you to create an itinerary with flight, accommodations, places to visit and more.

https://vjago.com

It would be great to have your feedback on the landing page!
Of course, you're more than welcome to try Vjago itself at https://app.vjago.com

    Few things:

    • Would suggest using cleaner images in the slider (looks like a phone with screenshots)
    • The emoticons don't load on my browser.

    Obviously, neither of these are really crazy important but as a customer, I may be turned off if the landing page isn't super clean.

      Thanks for the suggestion for the slider, this is important, I'll invent something for that!
      Interesting about the emoticons, there should be some font missing, I'll fix this

    Hi Luca, I travel a lot. So here are a few comments based on that.

    First off, I probably would not book a trip or travel on your site. Here's why:

    The heading sentence looks a little wonky to me. It reads "trip planning made fun
    easy collaborative". The first word isn't capitalized and the rest of the sentence is missing proper punctuation. Immediately I feel like this isn't a real site (and might be a scam).

    The CTA (call to action) is go to app. I'm uncertain if you're asking me to go to the app store or you'll be taking me to a web app. Maybe you're looking for a different CTA (like see how we're different).

    Might be helpful to get clear on who you're targeting with the site, what their problems are, and how you can address them. You intro line about simple, easy, and collaborative doesn't resonate with me because I typically travel solo and don't find the process of booking travel to be complex or difficult.

      Hi Jeff, thanks a lot for your insight!
      You're not the first to speak about "booking a trip", so now I really understand that the first impression is that Vjago is a kind of travel agency.
      Actually it's not, it's just an app for creating your travel itinerary (like Google Trips), so you book your flights and hotels on your own and then simply add them to Vjago to have your itinerary organized and in 1 place (no more scattered in Gmail, Booking.com, Ryanair, etc.). Of course, you can add other steps to your itinerary, like things to see, museums, hiking trips, etc. Well noted, I have to explain better what Vjago is.

      The heading was meant to be "light and friendly" but is conveying a wrong message, my bad I'll fix that.
      About the CTA I agree with you, I'm struggling to find the right one, Vjago is a web application and the link brings you to https://app.vjago.com, there is no app to download.
      "Sign In" or "Get Started" sounds better?

      Actually, looking at your username, you would be a target user, I made Vjago during my nomad period to keep track of my trip... give it a try if you want.

      Thanks again!

    • I think you should keep the phone size original to the iPhone, else it looks odd.
    • Animation in the background is good.
    • There is some alignment issue.

      Thank you so much for the feedback, really appreciated!
      Regarding the alignment issues, you refer to the content or the animation?

      1. 1

        It's for content.

    I'll be honest. Your site looks scammy and unprofessional. First, I would get a graphic designer or a good template to base your content on. Second, your brand name is Vjago a real word? Is it a play on Trivago? I feel no compelling reason to use this site for any of my travel needs. Trivago worked to a degree because they had advertising dollars behind it. You would have to do the same with a product and brand name like Vjago or use an appropriate industry set of terms for your brand name.

    1. 1

      Greg, thanks for your honesty!
      First of all, I wonder if you think that Vjago is a website for booking trips, from there your legitimate scammy feeling.
      About the name, no it's not a real word, is a miswriting of "Viaggio" Italian for trip, as most of websites are called today, miswriting of things, so people should be used it. Trivago is another thing, yet I understand that it sounds similar to you.
      This is about planning the itinerary, I don't deal with sales of trip-related products, so if you want to try it, you can in full safety.

      Again, thanks for your feedback, I'll work to make it more professional.

        Ok, I did not realize it was an itinerary planner. I blame ad-nauseam of booking and trip websites. What is crazy about your project though as it "clicks now". I'm actually planning a trip with my family for Japan next year and this would be an ideal tool for that.

        Overall, it just needs a lot of work from branding to UX. But I would love simple to use trip planner with built-in location, food and event search with travel tips.

        Taking a quick look/search at the space "trip planners". It could really use some good journey mapping and a fresh vision.

        Good luck.

          That sounds great! And "simple to use trip planner" is definitely the definition of Vjago. Thanks for your support!

    I like the background animations, but I'm not much of a trip booker myself, so I don't know what to look for :-)

    1. 1

      Ahah yeah, animations are always fun!
