The Challenge

House and Home, published by 256 Media in Dublin, is Ireland’s best-loved interiors magazine — a full-colour bi-monthly with readers’ homes, expert advice, colour, gardening and DIY. Online it needed far more than a magazine: a growing archive of articles across Real Homes, Renovations, Advice, Get the Look, News & Events, Shopping and Inspiring Spaces, plus subscriptions, competitions, reader home submissions and a recommended partners directory. All of it had to read like a magazine and stay fast on a phone.

The Solution

A magazine-style platform for every part of the House and Home world, online.

  • UX/UI

    A magazine layout with clear sections for homes, renovations, advice, shopping and inspiring spaces.

  • Web Development

    A fast, mobile-first site with reusable templates for articles, category listings and the homepage.

  • Content & Archive

    A growing archive of house tours, renovations, trends and expert advice, with related reads on every article.

  • Subscribe & Engage

    Subscriptions and the magazine archive, competitions, reader home submissions and a newsletter sign-up.
