WP Engine has released a global case study benchmarking the new website for The Design and Crafts Council of Ireland (DCCI).
DCCI commissioned WONDR to consolidate its wide variety of separate websites into a unified content hub.
Powered by WP Engine, the project went beyond a digital facelift and ultimately resulted in a strategic overhaul of DCCI’s site, which enhanced user engagement, strengthened DCCI’s brand reputation, and positioned the Council as a champion of Irish design and craft on a global stage.
Thanks to WONDR, we now have an online presence that truly reflects the role that DCCI plays in raising awareness of the vibrancy of the craft and design sector in Ireland.
Suzy O’Keefe Head of Comms & DigitalThe new site for DCCI features ‘campaign mode‘, a unique feature that enables the team to have more bespoke campaign sites within their main site for key programmes like Design Week & Future Makers.
DCCI’s digital transformation, led by WONDR in partnership with WP Engine, marked a significant milestone for the organization.
The project wasn’t only about creating a new website, but crafting a digital experience that mirrored the depth and richness of Irish design and crafts.
Suzy O’Keefe Head of Comms & DigitalWe have been given a platform which we, the team at DCCI, along with the designers and makers we represent can be proud of. Our new website is an engaging visual experience that successfully demonstrates the breadth of work we do throughout Ireland.

IDI 50 years on
The exhibition marks the 50th Anniversary of the IDI, who were established in 1972 by a group of passionate designers led by architect Raymond McGrath, who created a community where designers could support each other and encourage development of the design profession.
50 years on, navigating economic highs and lows, that profession is valued at €6bn and the IDI has continued to support designers and their businesses every step of the way.
