A digital agency that agrees the price first.
We've been building websites, online stores and search visibility since 2019. What every project costs is agreed in writing before work starts, which is rarer than it ought to be.
Who are SynthX Media?
A digital agency, working since 2019. We build websites and online stores, get them found in search, and then look after them — the same team from the first sketch to the final invoice. More than fifty websites and ninety projects have gone out the door in that time.
The clients so far have mostly been ordinary South African businesses rather than brands you'd recognise: transport and logistics, manufacturing, retail and online stores, travel, medical practices, attorneys and accountants. Different trades, different sizes, and in every case the same question underneath — is this website actually bringing in work, or just existing?
What should you expect from us?
Four things we've committed to in public, all of which you can check on this site before you speak to anybody. They are also the four that cost us the most work, which is rather the point of putting them in writing.
Every price is agreed upfront
Each project is quoted at a fixed scope, in writing, before work starts. The number doesn't move depending on who's asking. Get a quote
The words stay yours
We don't write website copy. You understand your trade and your customers better than we ever will, and pretending otherwise shows in the result. Social media packages are the one exception.
We'll say when it isn't us
Taking on work we're wrong for helps nobody, so if there's a better fit for what you need we'll point you at it. That costs us one project instead of a bad review.
We're still here after launch
Updates, security and support are available after launch, so the site doesn't quietly rot half a year after handover. Same people, same contact.
What can you actually get from us?
Four things, and they're meant to work together rather than be bought separately. A fast website with nobody finding it is half a job; traffic landing on a site that doesn't convert is the other half wasted.

What our clients say.
A huge thank you to SynthX Media for assisting me in revamping my website. Professional, friendly, timely and efficient. Highly recommend their services.
I have experienced pure professional service. The ongoing support and administration is done with speed and accuracy. Brilliant service. 10/10.
I have used SynthX Media to design two of my business websites. Both times they delivered exceptional service and were patient and professional throughout.
Michael and the team at SynthX Media will go above and beyond to meet expectations. Such a pleasure to work with them.
Thank you SynthX Media for a beautiful logo. Your hard work and creativity is highly appreciated.
Questions about working with us.
The people doing the work. There is no account manager relaying your message to a developer and the answer back to you, which is usually where detail gets lost and timelines quietly stretch. If you send something in, it reaches whoever would build it.
Since 2019. More than fifty websites launched and over ninety projects delivered in that time, across transport, manufacturing, retail, travel, medical and professional services. Long enough to have made most of the mistakes already, which is genuinely the useful part.
Every project is quoted at a fixed scope, in writing, before work begins. The number doesn't move depending on who's asking, and you never pay for anything that wasn't agreed first.
We don't write website copy — that comes from you, and social media packages are the only exception. Beyond that, if something falls outside what we're genuinely good at we'll tell you rather than learn on your budget, and we'll point you somewhere better where we can.
Not at all. We work with businesses across the UK, and everything runs on calls, staging links and email, so distance changes nothing about how a project is built or what it costs.
That's when support takes over: updates, security and the small fixes. Handover isn't the end of the relationship for most of our clients — a site left alone for two years is how you end up needing a rebuild instead of a tidy-up.
Want to see how we think before you commit?
Send us your web address. We'll go through the site and the SEO underneath it and send back a written audit within 48 hours — which is a far better test of whether we're any good than reading an About page.
