## How a Kilkenny 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 Kilkenny 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 Kilkenny rather than on office wi-fi, because that is how your buyers will actually meet you.

- Search your trade plus "Kilkenny" 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 Kilkenny and see whether your business is named at all

## What does a website cost in Kilkenny?

Pricing in Kilkenny is the same as everywhere else we work, because the work is the same. Five to seven pages: €499. A lead-generating site with blog and tracking: €1,500. A larger authority build: €2,995. A shop with payments and stock: €5,000 upward. You get one number, in writing, before we start.

## Why not use a Kilkenny agency?

Traditional agencies in Kilkenny often lock clients into a proprietary builder and a twelve-month contract. We do neither. You get standard, portable code and the freedom to move it whenever you like.

## Will the site rank in Kilkenny?

Ranking is two layers. Layer one is technical and comes with every build. Layer two is authority — content, citations and links across Kilkenny City, Castlecomer, Thomastown — and that is what the monthly retainer buys. We never sell layer two as if it were automatic.

## Can you build a website for a Kilkenny hospitality or weekend-stay business?

Yes. We specialise in Kilkenny hospitality websites with integrated booking engines, voucher sales, package builders and SMS confirmation flows. Most launch in 2–3 weeks.

## Do you work with Kilkenny craft and design brands?

Yes. We've built e-commerce sites for craft producers, jewellers and design studios across Kilkenny City and Thomastown — including international shipping, Stripe + PayPal checkout and Instagram Shop integration.

## Will my Kilkenny business be found on Google for tourism searches?

If your site has solid local schema, fast mobile load and a properly optimised Google Business Profile — yes. Most of our Kilkenny tourism clients reach page 1 for "things to do in Kilkenny" related queries within 4–6 months.

## What you get either way

Fixed-price scope: We quote Kilkenny work as a single fixed price after the scope call, so there is no hourly meter running in the background. Senior team only: You deal directly with the founder for the whole Kilkenny build. No ticket queue, no rotating account handler. No 12-month lock-in: We do not use agency-only page builders, so any developer in Kilkenny can pick the site up after us. Compounding results: Local rankings in Kilkenny build month over month once the technical foundations and Google Business Profile are right.

## 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.
