Ormeau Labs

Award-winning co-working space Ormeau Labs asked us to help improve their brand direction as well as design and develop a new website which would be easier to update, edit and expand than their existing WordPress site. The pairing of these two things helped Ormeau Labs transition from Ormeau Baths, allowing them promote future initiatives and events.

Built on a modern, secure platform, the new website reduces overall complexity and maintenance whilst improving in all core performance metrics.

By migrating from Wordpress to Storyblok the client is able to more easily create and edit content, whilst also retaining a richer design language through the website and implement changes faster.

The Ormeau Labs brand was enhanced with the freedom to use more colours, reflecting the diverse and inspiring mix of talented people and companies who reside in the building.
