Educational Research Centre Website Design & Development

A Clearer Digital Experience for Ireland's Leading Educational Research Centre



The Challenge

The Educational Research Centre (ERC) is an internationally recognised centre of excellence in educational research, assessment and evaluation.

With decades of research, a wide range of national and international research programmes, standardised assessment tools, publications and resources, the ERC needed a website that could make this wealth of information easier to navigate and more accessible to its diverse audiences.

The challenge was to create a modern digital platform that reflected the authority and expertise of the ERC while making complex information simple to find and understand.

Our Solution

exSite designed and developed a new website for the ERC, creating a clear and structured digital experience around the organisation’s key areas of work.

The new website brings together:

  • Research & research programmes
  • Assessment and ERC Tests
  • Publications and reports
  • PISA, PIRLS and TIMSS
  • The Irish Journal of Education
  • News and updates
  • Resources for schools
  • About the ERC and corporate information

The new structure allows visitors to quickly identify the information most relevant to them, whether they are educators, researchers, policymakers, schools or members of the public.

Making Research More Accessible

A key focus of the project was presenting the ERC’s extensive research and publications in a clear, user-friendly way.

With a substantial archive of research dating back many years, the website provides a structured way for users to explore current research, publications and historical resources.

The website also gives greater prominence to the ERC’s ongoing work in areas such as national assessments, international studies, test development and data analysis.

A Platform for the Future

The new website provides the ERC with a flexible platform that can continue to grow alongside its research programmes and activities.

With regularly updated news, publications, research projects and resources, the website has been designed to support the ERC’s ongoing communication with the education community and wider public.

The Result

The new ERC website provides a modern, professional and accessible digital presence for one of Ireland’s leading educational research organisations.

By combining clear navigation, structured content and a user-focused design, exSite has created a website that makes the ERC’s extensive research, assessment services and educational resources easier to discover and engage with.
