## Cork at a glance

County Cork had a usually-resident population of 584,156 at CSO Census 2022, which is 11.3% of the 26-county total and the 2nd largest county. The county town is Cork, the main road corridor is the M8 / N25 / N22, and the nearest urban anchor is Cork city. Locally we build most often for pharma, tech (Apple, Pfizer, Stripe), maritime, and food & drink — Ireland's largest county and second-largest urban economy. These are the figures we scope Cork projects against — official statistics, not estimates.

## How a Cork project actually runs

You deal with Joey Bray, the person who builds the work. There is no account-manager layer and nothing is offshored. You get a live preview link updated every few days rather than a single reveal at the end, and everything transfers into your name at launch.

- Day 0 — free 20-minute scope call: what the site must achieve, and what is out of scope
- Within 2 working days — written scope and a single fixed figure
- Week 1 — page structure and real copy built around the searches your buyers type
- Weeks 1–4 — build and review sprints, with mobile speed and accessibility checked as we go
- Launch day — domain, hosting, analytics and code transfer to you. No lock-in, no compulsory retainer

## Five checks you can run yourself in Cork today

Do these before you pay anyone, including us. They cost nothing and they tell you whether you have a visibility problem, a website problem or neither. Run them on a phone in Cork rather than on office wi-fi, because that is how your buyers will actually meet you.

- Search your trade plus "Cork" in a private window and see whether you appear on page one or in the map pack
- Check your Google Business Profile is claimed, categorised, and carries hours, service area and at least ten photos
- Load your own site on 4G and run it through Google PageSpeed Insights — read the mobile score, not the desktop one
- Ask someone outside the business to find your phone number on a phone in five seconds without pinching or scrolling
- Ask ChatGPT or Google's AI mode who does this in Cork and see whether your business is named at all

## What does a website cost in Cork?

A brochure site for a Cork business starts at €499 and covers five to seven pages, mobile layout and the technical SEO basics. Growth builds start at €1,500 and add lead capture, a blog and conversion tracking. Authority projects run from €2,995, and e-commerce from €5,000. Every figure is fixed after a free twenty-minute scope call.

## Why not use a Cork agency?

A Cork agency typically bills for a team you never meet. We bill for one senior developer who does the work. The saving is real, and so is the accountability — there is exactly one person to hold responsible.

## Will the site rank in Cork?

Yes for local intent, honestly maybe for broad terms. A properly built page will compete for "near me" and "Cork" searches quickly. National keywords are a different job and need sustained content work at €299 a month.

## What you get either way

Fixed-price scope: Every Cork project starts with a written scope and a fixed figure — variations are priced separately and only with your sign-off. Senior team only: One senior developer owns your Cork project end to end, from the scope call through to handover training. No 12-month lock-in: Ownership transfers on launch: registrar, host, analytics and repository all move into your accounts. Compounding results: We measure Cork progress on enquiries, not vanity impressions, and report it monthly in plain English.

## 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.
