Danu Lodge project case study

Quick answer: Danu Lodge is a small Irish retreat and healing centre set on four acres beneath Annagh mountain in Co. Wexford — Celtic Holotropic Retreats, shamanic healing, acupuncture, sweat lodges and quiet sanctuary.

We built an atmospheric, motion-led website with a cinematic hero (drifting mist, a slowly luminous moon and the hand-drawn Danu emblem) that sets the tone before a word is read, then guides visitors cleanly into retreats, one-to-one sessions, events and fees. Dual booking paths — 'Book a Session' and 'Book a Retreat' — keep both audiences moving, and the whole site is optimised for AI search with structured schema, semantic answer blocks and a full Generative Engine Optimisation pass.
