Navigation
Navigation is solved with two menus. The upper one is responsible for quick access to the sections most important for visitors: "What to do", "How to get there", "Before you go", "Contacts".

The side menu is an expanded two-level structure, visually presenting all the website sections.

Specially drawn maps with driving routes from the cities of Murmansk Region, St. Petersburg and Moscow are posted in the "How to get there" section.
They give a visual representation of the road to the reserve with detailed information about the distance and travel time.

Ticketing system
For visitors
The system of purchasing tickets allows you to buy a ticket for a visit on your own and for a group in a couple of clicks.

By selecting a visit date, a user immediately sees whether there is an opportunity to visit excursions and activities on this day. The opposite is also true: when navigating from the event or excursion page, a particular type of activity is also visible in the calendar and there is no need to search for it manually.

Going through all the stages of purchase after the payment a user receives a ticket by email.

The ticket purchase system also allows you to issue a refund or reschedule the visit online, without going to the reserve.

For employees
For employees
An elaborate administrative part helps employees open sales for new excursions and events promptly, change dates and times, keep track of all orders, the ticket return process, and sales statistics.
For example, they can find out how many people visited the reserve, excursion or event on a selected day or a specified period. Or to determine the number of visitors by categories: children, adults, beneficiaries.

To refund tickets, the administrator has access to all the data of users who have purchased a ticket. The refund status is displayed: the request is pending or the refund is approved.
The administrative part allows you to give limited access. For example, for employees who cannot change the data of excursions, but can review the purchased tickets and issue refunds.

The developed solution allows website users and future visitors to plan a trip to the reserve in advance, and its employees to make and adjust the work schedule, systematically keep records and accounting of visits.
Website design
The design of the website is made in accordance with the reserve’s brand identity.
Website design
The design of the website is made in accordance with the reserve’s brand identity.
It is based on the geometry of simple shapes, smoothed corners, illustrations of wildlife, including the symbol of the reserve — a wild reindeer.
The color scheme refers to the natural colors: hills, rivers and lakes, lichen, animals' fur, as well as the shades of snow, sky and the shimmering northern lights.

Result
The Lapland State Nature Biosphere Reserve is one of the largest in Northern Europe and one of the oldest in Russia. Created to preserve the wild reindeer population, it has been carefully protecting its main value, wildlife in its pristine state, for almost a century.
New website and brand identity open a new page in the reserve’s history and aim to make it as clear and close to guests and partners as possible.
