ESPA Life brings together an unrivalled team of the world’s top professionals in an intimate yet stunningly luxurious 2,500 sq ft space at Corinthia Hotel in Whitehall, London; offering fitness, nutrition, complementary healthcare and luxury spa treatments for face and body.
The multi-device website, designed and developed by Nucleus, caters for the rapidly growing audience who now browse websites - especially luxury brand websites - using mobile devices. This often nomadic audience increasingly eschews desk-bound working in favour of browsing on the move, so Nucleus’ cutting-edge design ‘sniffs out’ which device is being used and presents the same design tuned to each screen format. Visit the website at www.espalifeatcorinthia.com on different devices to see how.
A new mobile landscape is emerging
With the launch of the iPhone 4S and continuing success of the iPad (326m devices forecast to be sold by 2015), the mobile website browsing market is expected to continue expanding rapidly, especially in the luxury sector, where month-on-month growth is running between 10-20%, according to Nucleus’ own survey of travel brands. Nucleus believes mobile devices will account for a quarter of all luxury brand website traffic by the end of 2012.
Just yesterday, October 26th, comScore, leaders in measuring the digital world, published its latest overview across the five leading European markets (UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) finding smartphones and tablets are now driving nearly 5% of all digital traffic and Apple iOS now accounts for 31% of all mobile and connected devices sold and 61% of all non-computer traffic to websites.
Peter Matthews, Nucleus’ Founder & CEO, commented “Brands now have to consider a very different digital landscape to even a year ago, with mobile phones and tablets rapidly becoming important web browsing devices, not just users of apps.” He continued, “For ESPA Life at Corinthia we have therefore created a simple but elegant website content structure and aesthetic that works equally well across all devices. As we are particularly bullish on the prospects for mobile browsing, mobile now influences our thinking and the way we craft every solution.”
Brian Pratt, SVP of Corinthia Hotels & Resorts added “Nucleus has once again delivered a cutting-edge design for Corinthia, following the highly successful and award-winning Corinthia.com website. The Nucleus team has now brought our stunning Spa to life online and ensured our clients can enjoy the amazing experience from their preferred mobile devices.”
Nucleus also provides global managed hosting for Corinthia.com with a content acceleration infrastructure that delivers fast download speeds across the globe.
