Existing clients save 10%. All sessions include a certificate. Most business owners don't need another agency — they need to actually understand the tech they're paying for. Our Training & Workshops translate websites, WordPress, SEO, and AI search into plain English. Whether it's a 1-to-1 session, a team workshop, or a multi-week programme, you (or your staff) will leave knowing how to run, update, and grow your online presence with confidence.

Who is training & workshops for?

We work with owner-managed Irish businesses, professional practices and mid-market organisations. Training & Workshops suits you if the current setup is costing you enquiries, staff hours or credibility — and if you would rather own the result outright than rent it from a platform. If a smaller piece of work would move the needle faster, we say so before quoting anything larger.

Which training & workshops package is right for you?

There are 3 options on this service, separated by scope rather than by quality of work. 1-to-1 Online Training (a fixed quote), In-Office 1-to-1 Training (a fixed quote), Online Group Workshops (From €79). Each package page sets out precisely what is included, what is not, and how long delivery takes, so you can compare like with like before you speak to anyone.

  • 1-to-1 Online Training — AI or website personalised coaching delivered live online — pay by the hour, no setup fee.
  • In-Office 1-to-1 Training — Hands-on premium training in our Wexford office — practical, focused, and tailored to your business.
  • Online Group Workshops — Structured group training sessions — pick the topic that fits your business.

How does a training & workshops project run?

A short scoping call comes first, then a written scope with a fixed price, a staged build with weekly check-ins, and a handover where you receive the accounts, the assets and the source. Payment is 50% deposit and 50% on launch, or 40/30/30 on larger builds. Most work runs remotely, which keeps the cost down, and we travel to meet clients across Ireland where it genuinely helps.

What does training & workshops cost?

Published starting points: brochure websites from €1,200, the Business Site package from €2,500, the Authority package from €4,250, ecommerce from €6,000, and SEO retainers from €650 per month. AI systems work is scoped separately, beginning with a paid feasibility assessment from €6,000 and implementation bands from €15,000. Figures are ex-VAT starting points confirmed in writing after scoping — never a moving hourly meter.

Do you run digital marketing workshops in Wexford or remotely?

Both. Digital Bridge runs in-person workshops in Gorey and across the South-East, and live remote sessions Ireland-wide. Topics include AI for small business, Google Business Profile setup, social content, and basic SEO. Custom team workshops from €495/half-day.

What happens if training & workshops does not suit us?

Then we tell you, and we do not take the project. We would rather turn down work than sell a business something it does not need. Where a different supplier or a cheaper in-house route is the honest answer, we say so on the scoping call. Nothing is invoiced before a written scope is signed, and the scope sets out exactly what is delivered, in what order, and by when.

Who does the work?

Joey Bray, founder and principal engineer at Digital Bridge, leads every engagement personally. You deal with the person building the thing, not an account manager relaying messages. Contact: 085 224 1848 · [email protected] · Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co. Wexford.

How do you decide between the three training formats on offer?

1-to-1 Online Training, at a fixed quote an hour, is a live screen-share session suited to a specific, focused problem you want walked through remotely, such as setting up a particular AI tool or fixing a website workflow, with no setup fee and no contract, so you book exactly the hours you need. In-Office 1-to-1 Training, at a fixed quote an hour, happens at our Wexford office and suits work that benefits from being done hands-on together, such as building out a system properly rather than just being shown it on a shared screen. Online Group Workshops, from €79 per person, are structured sessions on a set topic, better suited to learning alongside other business owners and picking up ideas from their questions as well as your own. Existing clients get a 10% discount across all three formats.

Do we need any technical background before booking a session?

No particular technical background is assumed for any of the three formats, since the whole point of training is to meet you at whatever level you are currently at rather than expect prior knowledge. A short conversation before booking, particularly for the 1-to-1 formats, establishes what you already know and what you specifically want to walk away able to do, so the session time is not spent on things you have already figured out. Group workshops are pitched at business owners generally, not developers, and questions from other attendees at a similar level often clarify things faster than a one-way lecture would. If a topic genuinely needs deeper technical grounding than a single session can cover, that is flagged honestly rather than rushed through.

What will my team actually be able to do after a workshop?

Our workshops are built around practical skills you can use the same afternoon, not theory that sounds good in a slide deck and disappears by Monday. Depending on the topic — website content updates, basic SEO habits, using AI tools for daily tasks, social media scheduling — attendees leave with a working knowledge of the actual software your business uses, screenshots and notes included, and time spent practising live rather than just watching a demonstration. We keep group sizes manageable so everyone gets a chance to ask questions specific to their own role, because a receptionist and a marketing manager need different things from the same session. Sessions typically run half a day, though we can shape a shorter or longer format depending on how much ground needs covering. What’s not included is ongoing hand-holding afterwards — we’ll point you to resources and answer follow-up questions for a reasonable period, but this is training, not outsourcing the task itself. Businesses that get the most value are ones sending staff who’ll actually apply what they learn, not just ticking a box.

Who should attend, and what’s the biggest mistake businesses make booking training?

The most common pitfall is sending one person to a workshop meant to change a team-wide habit, then wondering why nothing changed six months later — training sticks far better when the people who’ll use the skill daily are in the room together, asking questions and seeing how it applies to their actual job. Owner-managers, admin staff, and anyone responsible for content or customer communication tend to get the most out of our sessions, especially in smaller businesses where one person often wears several hats. We tailor examples to your industry where possible rather than running a one-size-fits-all script, which means telling us in advance what your business does and what’s currently frustrating your team makes a real difference to the outcome. Sessions can be delivered in person around Gorey and Wexford or online for teams further afield, with the format adjusted accordingly. This isn’t suited to businesses looking for someone else to simply do the work instead of learning it — that’s a different service entirely. Pricing depends on group size, format and duration, so we quote after a short chat about your needs.
