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.

The 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.

WONDR are proud to have collaborated with The Design and Crafts Council of Ireland to launch their new digital hub.

The Design and Crafts Council of Ireland (DCCI) embarked on a journey of transformation, emerging with a powerful new digital home that embodies the sheer quality of Irish design culture.

DCCI serves as the national agency for the commercial development of Irish designers and makers, stimulating innovation, championing design thinking and informing Government policy.

Who better to partner with on this digital redesign than WONDR, who have been recognised as the ‘best in Ireland’ and in the ‘Global top 10′ agencies two years running for their innovative digital designs.

This partnership aimed to streamline DCCI’s online presence and deliver a truly immersive user experience.

It was important for the digital platform to not only stimulate innovation and champion design thinking but also inform government policy, all while elevating Ireland’s rich culture of design and craft to global recognition.

The power of design was harnessed to strengthen DCCI’s digital identity, aligning WONDR’s expertise in designing innovative digital experiences and the DCCI’s commitment to fostering innovation, nurturing design thinking, and shining a global spotlight on the legacy of Irish design and craft.

WONDR introduced a unified visual language that now defines the DCCI brand online. Through strategic integration of images, videos, and editorial craftsmanship, the website has been transformed into an artistic canvas that showcases the brilliance of Irish crafts, in perfect harmony with DCCI’s vision.

Captivating narratives took centre stage, shedding light on DCCI’s ceaseless activities, advocacy, and educational initiatives, all while highlighting the accomplishments of DCCI’s talented members and makers.

DCCI’s enhanced online presence is now poised to effectively convey the depth of design and craftsmanship in Ireland, even to the highest echelons of government.

The website stands proudly on a foundation of flexible and accessible enterprise-ready technology, future-proofing DCCI for what’s to come.

This adaptable infrastructure allows DCCI to host activation and campaign websites for sub-brands like Design Week and Future Makers, all from a single system, saving time and reducing future costs.

The 20th edition of the Irish Digital Media Awards is on the horizon, and for the second year running, WONDR proudly sponsor the Best Brand award.

The ‘Best Brand’ Award is a celebration of innovative brand identities that seamlessly weave into every aspect of a business.

WONDR are proud to have collaborated on the creation & launch of LUMA Vision – the future of cardiac imaging.

Formerly known as OneProjects, LUMA Vision embarked on a journey of transformation, emerging with a powerful new brand that embodies its values, ambitions and their groundbreaking products.

The rebrand included an updated website that aligns with its mission, engages stakeholders, and improves user experience.

In line with its mission to build a future in which Cardiologists and Electrophysiologists have unparalleled insights into their patients’ well-being through innovative healthcare technologies. Its vision is to enable medical professionals to save lives through exceptional decision-making accuracy.

To realise this vision and elevate its brand to new heights, LUMA Vision sought out WONDR’s expertise to breathe life into a new identity that would position LUMA Vision as an industry leader and champion of innovation.

Through a collaborative process, WONDR and LUMA Vision meticulously identified their target audience, carefully crafted a unique brand positioning, and defined the brand’s core behaviours and messaging. Their shared dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence culminated in the birth of a brand that authentically captures the essence of LUMA Vision.

The logo design concept revolved around the powerful idea of dimensional data and insight. Visually represented by skillfully layered panels, the design evokes a sense of depth, symbolising LUMA Vision’s ability to unlock profound understanding within the medical field.

In parallel with the design, the team diligently worked on the new name, ultimately landing on the perfect moniker: LUMA Vision. As if destined, the new brand name effortlessly integrated into the meticulously crafted brand world, completing the final piece of the puzzle.

The future has never looked brighter for LUMA Vision armed with a new and captivating brand identity that sets them apart in the market and propels them towards a future of unprecedented success.
