Jet2Blog with Craft CMS: Taking content creation to new heights!

Some content management systems (CMSs) just aren’t made with long-form, engaging content in mind.

This was the challenge Jet2, the UK’s largest tour operator, faced. As their main website focussed on driving bookings, they needed a dedicated resource to create and maintain hundreds of location and travel guide pages.

They also had ideas for unique blogging features and engagement opportunities for users that were simply not possible within their core CMS used for the main website.

If that sounds like a new, dedicated blogging website to you, it did to us too.

The solution

A new blogging platform on a dedicated CMS that was specifically created for Jet2’s current and future needs. Please welcome on board, Craft CMS.

Jet2 now extensively links to this platform across its various channels, including its website, app, and social media, using it as a destination for nearly all its aspirational and informative content. And creatively, we’ve made sure the content is king. All whilst seamlessly fitting the platform within Jet2’s wider ecosystem and designs so that users feel like they are still browsing a Jet2 website.

Since the initial launch, we’ve enhanced the site with quiz functionality, location maps, map-based articles, image and video galleries, Spotify playlists, and an enhanced search feature.

The results

Now, you might be wondering about our final destination.

Whether it’s exploring breathtaking destinations, discovering insider travel tips, or gaining inspiration for your next getaway, the Jet2Blog has become the go-to source for Jet2’s audience.

And, thanks to Craft CMS, its user-friendly interface, seamless integration with Jet2’s brand, and an ever-growing repository of engaging content, the Jet2Blog has also become a core product for internal teams. A real win-win project all around.
