Schlitterbahn Waterparks & Resorts was recognized at the 2015 WWA Show for its work with Ascedia, winning the 2015 Wave Review Award for best website in its attendance category. The Wave Review Awards honor businesses that demonstrate superior marketing strategies within the water leisure industry, and are judged by marketing and advertising professionals on originality, creativity, innovation and overall excellence.
Ranked as the “Best Waterpark in the World” for 18 Consecutive Years
Schlitterbahn approached Ascedia’s digital experts in 2014 to update its website and create a fresh look that reflects the waterpark experience. With a tight four-month timeline launch the website, Ascedia built a waterpark website using Kentico CMS, focusing on developing a responsive website to improve user experience, increase mobile accessibility and expand booking and e-commerce capabilities. The new website showcased the waterpark while allowing users to easily explore and plan their trip to Schlitterbahn, and the easy-to-use Kentico CMS improved administrative control and simplified site management.
The strategic impact of Ascedia’s technology solutions for the waterpark was far from small as the end results exceeded initial expectations. Schlitterbahn experienced a significant increase in mobile users, website interaction and sales, with a 43% increase in revenue!
Best-in-the-world Experience
Ascedia’s website redesign for Schlitterbahn was key in creating a “best-in-the-world” experience for potential customers, from inspiration to booking. With Ascedia’s help, Schlitterbahn Waterparks & Resort was able to create an enjoyable experience both online and on the slides!
Ascedia’s expertise in the tourism & hospitality industry includes responsive website design, mobile app development and digital marketing for a variety of destinations and attractions, including Schlitterbahn Waterparks & Resorts, Universal Resorts & Themeparks and Travel Wisconsin.
