An on-tap designer for businesses that need fresh graphics every week — social posts, ads, flyers, presentations — all on-brand, all delivered fast. ## What the Design Retainer package includes Your €189/month gives you a designer on speed-dial. Every month we produce 15 custom graphics (social posts, ads, flyers, story templates), update your visual library, and turn around urgent requests in 48 hours. Equivalent freelance design work in Ireland costs €60–€90/hour — this works out at roughly a third of that rate, with consistency baked in. - 15 custom graphics per month - Social posts, ads, flyers, banners - Pitch deck & presentation templates - 48-hour standard turnaround - Unlimited revisions - On-brand consistency guaranteed - Source files + ready-to-post exports - Monthly visual content calendar - Canva template handover for your team ## Is the price fixed? Yes. After a free twenty-minute scope call you receive a written scope and a single figure, and that figure is what you are invoiced. Payment is 50% on signature and 50% on launch, or 40/30/30 on larger builds. Anything outside the agreed scope is priced separately and only proceeds with your sign-off. | Engagement | From | Typical grant route | |---|---|---| | AI Feasibility & Readiness Assessment | from €5,000 | Eligible for the Enterprise Ireland Digital Discovery Grant at up to 80% funding, subject to Enterprise Ireland approval and company eligibility | | Baseline production build | from €15,000 | Not typically grant-funded | | Multi-system agent workflows | €25,000 to €60,000 | Not typically grant-funded | | Enterprise / multi-department programme | €40,000 to €100,000+ | Not typically grant-funded | | Managed operation & optimisation | from €149/month | Not typically grant-funded | | Brochure / Presence | from €499 | Not typically grant-funded | | Growth | from €1,500 | Not typically grant-funded | | Authority | from €2,995 | Not typically grant-funded | | E-commerce & custom platform | from €5,000 | Not typically grant-funded | All figures are ex-VAT and fixed against a signed scope. Grant outcomes are decided by the funder, not by Digital Bridge. ## Who does the work? Joey Bray, the founder, scopes and builds the project. There is no account-manager layer and nothing is offshored. That is why our quotes land at roughly half a traditional Irish agency's — no sales floor or middle management to fund, not corners cut on accessibility, page speed or SEO. ## Do I own the site afterwards? Completely. Domain, hosting account, analytics property and the code all transfer into your name at launch. We do not use agency-only page builders, so any competent developer can pick the project up after us. There is no compulsory retainer and no twelve-month lock-in. ## How long does it take? Brochure-scale builds are typically live in about two weeks, growth builds in three to four, authority builds in four to six, and e-commerce in six to eight. We work in short design sprints so you see progress every couple of days rather than a single reveal at the end. ## Evidence - Verdé Environmental Group — 24/7 AI incident triage with severity classification, Eircode geolocation and four-depot dispatch routing → https://digitalbridge.ie/industries - tools.digitalbridge.ie — 50+ shipped production tools, including the Website Worth Index and the DigitalBridge Authority Score - Printhouse — custom web-to-print platform with 29+ product pages → https://printhouse.ie ## How delivery is de-risked - Seven-day shadow-mode pilot before any system takes live traffic. - Full source-code and prompt ownership transfers on final payment. - EU-hosted infrastructure, provider training disabled, signed data processing agreement. - Fixed price against a signed scope — no hourly meter and no open-ended exposure. ## FAQ ### How much does an AI integration project cost in Ireland? Digital Bridge prices AI work in bands: an AI feasibility assessment from €5,000 (grant-eligible), a baseline production build from €15,000, multi-system agent workflows at €25,000–€60,000, and enterprise programmes from €40,000 to €100,000+. Small-business website builds start at €499. Every engagement is fixed-price against a signed scope. ### How long does a production AI build take? A feasibility assessment runs three to five weeks. A baseline production build typically runs eight to twelve weeks from signed scope to go-live, including a seven-day shadow-mode pilot before the system takes live traffic. Multi-system programmes are sequenced into phases so value lands before the full programme completes. ### Can Irish grant funding cover this work? Often, yes. Enterprise Ireland's Digital Discovery Grant funds up to 80% of an eligible feasibility assessment, and Digital Process Innovation funds up to 50% of eligible implementation costs. Local Enterprise Office schemes cover smaller digital projects. Eligibility is decided by the funder, never by us. ### Who owns the code and the prompts? You do. Every engagement transfers full source-code and prompt ownership on final payment. Systems run on EU-hosted infrastructure with provider training disabled and a signed data processing agreement. There is no vendor lock-in and no proprietary runtime you have to keep paying us for. ## Related pages - [All Graphics & Visual Design packages](https://digitalbridge.ie/services/graphics-visual-design) - [Logo & Essentials package](https://digitalbridge.ie/services/graphics-visual-design/logo-essentials) - [Full Brand Identity Kit package](https://digitalbridge.ie/services/graphics-visual-design/full-brand-identity-kit) - [Areas we serve](https://digitalbridge.ie/areas-we-serve) - [Free website audit](https://digitalbridge.ie/free-audit) ## Contact Digital Bridge, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co.
