Monthly client visit to this morning ☀️🛥️ What a place to work for the day!

Digital Sidekick is a bespoke service, offering tech support to small rural businesses. Think 'personal trainer' for all things digital, from website support and email marketing to digital tools to help with operations. The monthly check-in (in-person or video call) provides accountability and keeps things moving forward - because we all get caught up in the day to day!

We have capacity to take on 2 new Digital Sidekick clients - DM for more info 🤝

New bilingual site for Oban Mountain Rescue Team - updated from the old and tired website.

Everyone involved in the team give their time voluntarily, and as a keen hillwalker, I'm hosting their site for free as a small token of gratitude. Have a look at the new site and feel free to click on the big red Donate button 😜⛰️

✨ Diolch yn fawr iawn. Tapadh leibh. Thank you for your support! ✨

As 2024 comes to a close, I want to thank all the incredible businesses I’ve had the privilege to work with over the years. Your trust has helped shape Derw Digital into what it is today.

Looking ahead, my focus is on supporting rural and bilingual businesses in North Wales and the West Coast of Scotland. Businesses in these areas are like oak trees amongst pines—rooted in tradition, strong in character, and growing in a way that’s distinct from urban norms. I’m committed to creating digital solutions that respect these values while helping businesses thrive authentically.

Exciting things are coming in 2025, and I can’t wait to share them with you!

Wrth i 2024 ddod i ben, dw i eisiau diolch i’r holl fusnesau anhygoel dw i wedi cael y fraint o weithio gyda nhw dros y blynyddoedd. Mae eich ymddiriedaeth wedi helpu llunio Derw Digital i beth ydy o heddiw.

Edrych ymlaen, fy ffocws ydy cefnogi busnesau gwledig a dwyieithog yng Ngogledd Cymru a’r Arfordir Gorllewinol yr Alban. Mae busnesa yn yr ardaloedd yma fel derwen ymhlith pinwydd—wedi’u gwreiddio mewn traddodiad, yn gryf yn eu cymeriad, ac yn tyfu’n wahanol i’r normau trefol. Dw i’n ymrwymo i greu atebion digidol sy’n parchu’r gwerthoedd yma wrth helpu busnesau ffynnu’n ddiogel ac yn ddilys.

Mae pethau cyffrous ar y ffordd yn 2025, a dw i methu aros i’w rhannu gyda chi!

Excited to unveil the fresh, modern face of Capercaillie ’s online presence 🌟

The band originated in Taynuilt, where Derw Digital is based – and we’re proud to launch a new website that mirrors the timeless quality and outstanding musicianship of Capercaillie. As they gear up to release their new album in May, make sure to visit https://capercaillie.co.uk to catch all their upcoming shows and pre-order. It's been an honour to work with such a legendary band. Cheers to supporting local businesses and to traditional celtic folk music!

3 AI tools to boost the efficiency of your business operations.

We're fans of AI at Derw, but believe that it should be used as a tool to enhance business operations, and that customer service and community engagement are still paramount for success.

Here's a few of our current favourite tools that make some of those mundane tasks more manageable, allowing you to spend more time on growing your business.

Motion: Project and task management, a calendar that reshuffles everything for you when something changes. Plus a meeting booking feature that replaces things like Calendly. https://usemotion.sjv.io/g1aO42

Blaze.AI: AI copy writing from the likes of chatGPT isn't always consistent and doesn't sound like YOU. This tool can produce blog posts, social media content, ad copy, and marketing briefs - all in your brand voice.

Fireflies.ai assigns an AI assistant to your meetings that actively records, transcribes, and provides a shareable record of every discussion
