Case Study: Irish Heart Foundation achieves zero downtime and increased donations with WP Engine

Irish Heart Foundation - Customer Case Study

The Irish Heart Foundation needed a modern, scalable website to replace a 10-year-old site that limited access to support services and hampered donations. They engaged digital studio WONDR to create a higher-impact, mobile-first experience that could handle massive traffic surges and remove dependencies on an outdated proprietary CMS and hosting environment.

WONDR rebuilt the site on WordPress hosted by WP Engine using a component-based template system and staging/deployment workflows, and implemented a custom API to integrate ThankQ CRM with dual payment gateways (Stripe and Braintree) for resilience. The result: no downtime, faster performance, improved SEO, easier content publishing for staff, better handling of donation traffic and measurable time savings that let the charity focus more on its mission.
