Website Design Project Overview
Client: Palm Island Transit
Industry: Transportation, Hospitality
Location: Southwest Florida (Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, North Port, Englewood, Venice, Sarasota, Bradenton, Cape Haze)
Project Type: Website Redesign
Objective: To enhance accessibility, user experience, and real-time information updates on Palm Island Transit’s website.
The Challenge
Initial Situation: The original website of Palm Island Transit was outdated, difficult to navigate, and did not allow for quick updates, leading to user frustration and operational inefficiencies.
Client’s Needs: Palm Island Transit needed a user-friendly, responsive website that could provide real-time updates on weather, tides, and service changes to improve customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

Our Approach: Monarch Direct approached the project with a vision of creating a seamless, user-friendly digital experience that aligns with Palm Island Transit’s commitment to safety, timeliness, and customer satisfaction. Our goal was to create an intuitive interface that facilitates quick updates and easy navigation.
Process:
- Conducted a competitive analysis and user persona research to understand the digital marketing needs of Palm Island Transit and their customers.
- Held a vision-sharing session with the client to align on goals and expectations.
- Designed and iterated on website designs using Figma.
- Implemented the final design on WordPress with Elementor, focusing on mobile-first design and real-time updates.
Website Design Results
Outcome
The redesigned website features a sleek, user-focused interface that significantly improves navigation and access to real-time information. The inclusion of a prominent alert bar for weather updates and an integrated tide and weather information section on the homepage ensures that users can plan their trips efficiently.
Impact
Positive feedback from users indicates a streamlined experience with easier access to vital information, significantly reducing confusion and enhancing reliability of service expectations.
“Monarch Direct did a wonderful job building the new website from scratch. The team surpassed our expectations at each stage of the project. They were quick to respond to emails, and all communication was concise and professional. The staging app worked very well for me to read through all aspects of the site and make comments. Now that the site is completed and launched, it has been extremely helpful in guiding our customers to the information they need. I would definitely recommend Monarch Direct for similar website projects. They do fantastic work in a timely manner with expertise and skill.”
