WONDR is proud to accept another award, this time from Digital Business Ireland.

We collected an award for ‘Best Professional Services Website‘ at their Annual Digital Awards which were held in early February 2022.

Digital Business Ireland is the voice of the digital commerce sector and the awards, which are sponsored by permanent TSB, seek to recognise the very best of digital in Ireland and reward businesses, organisations, people and innovations.

Due to the pandemic we were not able to enjoy the evening in person, however there will be an event later in the year where we will get to celebrate our success along with the other winners. We look forward to meeting everyone there.

An Irish Design Business winning global awards

This Irish award follows on from our recent success where we picked up a number of global awards including Best Digital Product designers in Ireland, Best Banking Website, Best Social Website, Best Health & Beauty Website & Best Energy Website.

We’re also the only design business nominated for 4 global awards at the prestigious UX Design Awards programme, a further example that WONDR consistently delivers work that is recognised as being at the cutting edge.

WONDR is proud to announce that it is now a member of ADG-FAD (Asociación de diseñadores gráficos y directores de arte)

The ADG-FAD (Associació de dissenyadors gràfics i directors d’art) are based in Barcelona, Spain and for more than 50 years, its goal has been to promote design and visual communication in Spain’s cultural and economic life.

WONDR’s collaboration with 11Onze, to foster and grow a fintech community, shares similar values with ADG-FAD of empowering the community with insightful knowledge to enable them to develop further.

The WONDR team plan on sharing our knowledge and expertise with the design community in Spain, especially insights on how we collaborated with 11Onze to create ‘First-ever Fintech Private Social Network‘ in Barcelona.

WONDR are proud to share that 4 of our clients have been shortlisted at the international UX Design Awards.

Global Award-Winning Work

These award nominations follow on from our recent success where we collected 4 awards at the International Vega awards, all of which validates the consistent quality & innovation that WONDR’s delivers across the globe.

We’re shortlisted for 2 awards at Digital Business Ireland’s – National Digital Awards 2021.

Our own site wondr.io has been shortlisted for Best Professional Services Website, whilst our work for Likha Aesthetic Clinic has also been shortlisted for ‘Best Health, Beauty, Well-Being Website‘.

The awards recognise the very best of digital in Ireland and reward businesses, organisations, people and innovations.

👏🏼  We’re thankful for being shortlisted and we look forward to the event on the 23rd Feb 2022.

We’re proud to say that both nominated sites have also picked up global awards this year, so we’re 🤞🏽hoping to get some 🇮🇪 Irish recognition too.

Barra, Emma, Ophelia, Darwin…some of the more memorable Irish storms in recent years. Storm season can mean fallen power lines, a delay in planned maintenance and, ultimately, disruption to electricity supply.

In the era of remote-first working, ESB Networks is under even more pressure to keep their customers informed so they can minimise the impact on their day.

Enter PowerCheck. It’s the application that provides the public, businesses & the media with real-time fault information on all major electricity faults across Ireland.

In 2020, the ESB Networks team identified that PowerCheck needed new functionalities, so we worked alongside them and their development partners to create a user-friendly, intuitive application that was accessible for all.

Delving into analytics highlighted that over 88% of users access PowerCheck on their mobile devices. This makes sense as most people in a power outage may be relying on their mobile data to access the internet resulting in thousands of users trying to access Powercheck at the same time.

From the get go, the ESB Networks team were very cognisant of keeping the user at the centre of every decision as otherwise their call centres might experience surges in demand when people lose power.

We ran nationwide user testing to gather opinions from residential, commercial and farm customers to ensure the design answered their needs when their power went out, therefore reducing the pressure on the call centre.

While the application is constantly evolving in line with user needs, the PowerCheck application is now live and ready to guide Irish people through the next storm season.

We’re always looking to bring innovation to every collaboration that we do through our LAB+ model.

Sometimes we use this model to look at emerging technologies or existing ones that need a transformation and imagine what is possible.

We highlighted the ‘Music Industry’ as an example of a sector that has been digitalised to a point where ‘the soul‘ has been lost.

Recently we purchased a U2 hoodie as part of the ‘All that you can’t leave behind’ 20th anniversary. The customer journey didn’t deliver an exciting end-to-end fan experience. It followed the usual expected e-Commerce journey, no different to purchasing books or electronics online.

It got us thinking that there is a huge opportunity to transform this by creating an immersive experience for bands, teams and sportspeople who have a huge cult following like U2 do.

We ran our own internal workshops and came up with the idea ‘U2 By You’.

We understand the great reach and flexibility digital apps like Spotify bring, however some things have been lost. Our proposition has been designed to bring fans together as a digital community to share experiences, memories, experience exclusive band material and allow them the chance to contribute to a vast neural network of U2 memories from across the globe.

The results of this is an idea that helps to bring a richer experience for loyal fans where they can also watch concerts, listen to the back catalogue, merchandise and tours in a new manner that has never been done before.

We also put together a special landing page where you get a quick overview before downloading the presentation we shared directly with the band themselves, which we received very positive feedback on.

We’re sharing our concept presentation as fans and would love to hear what you think about #U2byYOU on Linkedin or Twitter.

Our design work for Likha Aesthetic Clinic has won an International award for ‘Best Website’ in the beauty & cosmetics category.

The Vega Digital Awards are an international body that exists to recognise and honor the outstanding performance, talent and effort of the best digital professionals and web agencies around the world. Judged independently by experienced, senior-level digital professionals from around the world, the categories include websites, video, mobile, social, animation, marketing and podcasts.

We designed Likha Aesthetic Clinic with a mobile-first approach that had AI integrated into the design process. This allowed us to test and evaluate designs in real-time using data that matches the behaviour of over 93% of humans.

Moving to desktop designs, we had even more fun bringing the treatments to life with a rich desktop experience using motion design and animations.

Serial Award Winner

In addition to winning this international design award for best website in beauty & cosmetics, LikhaAesthetic.ie has also picked up global award for ‘Mobile Excellence‘ and an Honorable Mention from Awwwards as well as a Special Kudos award from CSSDA.

Founded in 2019, the clinic has also won Best Aesthetic Clinic in Ireland two years in a row, as well as a Patient Service Award from What Clinic for outstanding customer reviews.

We’re delighted to announce that ESB Energy has won an international award for ‘Best Energy Website’.

The work was awarded by the Vega Digital Awards, who are an international body that exists to recognise and honor the outstanding performance, talent and effort of the best digital professionals and web agencies around the world.

Judged independently by experienced, senior-level digital professionals from around the world, the categories include websites, video, mobile, social, animation, marketing and podcasts.

95% form completion rate

Following a successful launch period over the last few years, we delivered a design system that was used to create the product website, acquisition funnels and customer portal across mobile, tablet & web.

The customer sign up journey had a 95% form completion rate and over 86% of customers used the customer portal regularly.

ESB have just announced the acquisition of So Energy, therefore the ESB Energy UK site has now changed to reflect this. To see more details on the project we delivered you can view the ESB Energy UK case study.

WONDR continues its winning streak in 2021 by picking up four international awards at the Vega Digital Awards.

With over 1,392 entries from creative businesses & agencies across the globe, the independent international jury selected four of WONDR’s projects as winners. These include:
