Kontraloop

ABOUT THE CLIENT

Kontraloop d.o.o. was founded in 2025 to create a unique indoor entertainment destination combined with high-quality gastronomy. The founders are part of the CC Real Group — a real estate asset management and investment company headquartered in Vienna, with offices across multiple countries, including Croatia. In Croatia, CC Real manages the largest shopping center in Istria, Max City Pula, as well as City Center One Split — home to the Kontraloop entertainment venue.

THE CHALLENGE

Kontraloop needed a distinctive, modern website that would stand out visually and allow visitors to quickly access relevant information or book activities — whether for everyday fun or special events. The key requirement was to build a custom digital platform fully integrated with an external booking system to support seamless reservations.

 

THE SOLUTION

We developed a modern, visually appealing website built around a clear content structure and intuitive navigation. The site is fully bilingual to support a broader audience and features well-organized categories to ensure a smooth user experience.

A key component of the project was the integration with BookedIT, a booking platform for leisure and hospitality venues that enables businesses to increase average order value, save time, and offer a streamlined experience across reservations, payments, CRM, and marketing tools.

METHODOLOGY & APPROACH

The project began with a product discovery workshop, focused on identifying what mattered most to Kontraloop’s customers and defining expectations from the website.

Core functional requirements included:

• A clean content presentation

• A CMS enabling management of all content, galleries, and pricing configurations

• High loading speed

• SEO optimization

• A UX designed for quick scanning of the offer

• Scalability for future expansion

We selected Directus as a modular and flexible CMS and Nuxt 3.0 for the frontend. The integration with BookedIT enables seamless reservation flows for birthday parties, celebrations, and activity bookings requiring advance preparation.

Technologies Used

• Nuxt 3.0 (Vue.js) for the dynamic frontend (hosted on Vercel)

• Directus CMS, hosted on AWS

RESULTS & OUTCOMES

CONCLUSION

The project was successfully delivered thanks to a clear methodology, well-defined functional requirements, and strong collaboration with the client.
