Danu Lodge project case study

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.

How we decide what to quote for Danulodge

Digital Bridge delivers this work from Gorey Business Park in County Wexford on a fixed written scope — one price, one delivery date — and the client owns the finished work outright. Danu Lodge is a small Irish retreat and healing centre set on four acres beneath Annagh mountain in Co. Before a figure is given, four questions are answered in order, and a named person signs the scope off — it is never generated automatically.

  1. Is this the right job at all? We look at what you already have online, whether the domain and Google Business Profile are in your own name, and what Danulodge customers currently ask you for. If a repair or a single page would solve it, we quote that instead.
  2. What does the work have to achieve first? The scope is written around one outcome — enquiries, bookings, orders or credibility — and anything else is listed as optional so it can be dropped without renegotiating.
  3. What will it cost and when will it be live? Page count, content readiness, integrations and whether photography or copy still has to be produced set the price and the date, both fixed in writing before work starts.
  4. How will people in Danulodge find it afterwards? Local search setup is included in a build; ongoing SEO is a separate optional retainer you can start or stop with notice.
